dude, keep remindin yourself that its a temporary phase and after a few days it will be gone, you wont have the cravings, and once you're there, its happy days..all the money you save...your overall health improves...the benefits are endless..i was a smoker for 5 - 6 years and smoked 20 cigs a day but than quit cold turkey and despite the fact that nicotine is psychologically and physically addictive i convinced myself that it was only psychological and i had more or less no cravings...so if you can set yourself that way mentally, the whole process will become much easier...all the best!

Substitution. Find something else. Personally, i think once an addictive peronality, always an addictive personality. To a point is is not about the substance, it is about the addiction. I have a very addictive personality, but can always substitue one thing with something else, this is part of the reason for training. Find somehting else to occupy you |

Substitution = almost always results in sh1t coming back bigger and stronger, if it s a proper addiction, the very notion you can beat it by substitution is laughable ![]() Just go and tell a junkie to chew some gum - nicotine is more or less as addictive, in the right person ![]() Why do folks always expect an easy way out, a magic pill Last edited by rs007; 09-02-2010 at 01:17 PM. |

Im not convinced mate, sorry. Studies show that on ave 21 out of 100 test subjects stopped after using it. 20% If thats the definition of a magic pill, then I'm a female midget porn star. All you are doing is again substituting, all be it more directly. What you going to do in 5 years time, when out the blue, a thought "a cig would be nice" pops into your head? Going to carry Champix on you at all times? Just swapping one for t'other then, how does that make you free? My point is this. Its easy to stop. Nicotine gum has a massive success rate at getting people to stop. Its when you go BACK 6 weeks, 6 months... 6 years later, are they still stopped? Pretty useless if not. The secret isn't stopping, we stop 20 or 30 or 40 times a day as smokers - unless chain smoking that is. The secret is STAYING stopped. | |
