Best way to quit smoking.....

[angie944]

I have quit a thousand times, but always end up starting up again.  I've tried patches, they dont seem to work, and i've read horror stories about Chantix.  I have had anxiety/depression issues in the past, so I dont think Chantix is right for me.  Cold turkey is HARD, and everytime i quit,  I get REALLY emotional and angry.  Is there any way to help me quit smoking? If you have, how did you do it?

One by one finish those last two packs. Keep telling yourself the end is near, and it will be ok. The first three to five days you may want to lock up your herbs. I tried rolling my thyme and oregano to smoke on day three lol. Yea, your going to need someone to help guide you.

Thank you Ladies, i really appreciate all the responses.  I think this time I will just do it without telling anyone. Less pressure.  Now I keep thinking, when? When should i stop?  I just bought 2 packs yesterday, so I dont know if i should finish those, or just put them away somewhere.

I got pregnant. LOL Sorry momma, wish I could help, but I just quit myself two weeks ago and I'm STILL craving one every time I blink my eyes. Good luck though! My grandma used Chantix after smoking for 50 years and it's the only thing that helped her quit.

  I used Chantix, and I quit smoking on July 15, 2010.   I smoked for over 30 years when I quit.   No issues from the Chantix...

Get pregnant!

Lol, jk. But that's the only thing helped me quit cold turkey. Nothing else worked for me.

And don't try Chantix if you don't think it's a good idea. My stepmother did and honestly went crazy. She didn't even have a history of depression either...

Not trying to sound like a smart*ss but the best way is to never again put a cigarette to your lips. In the end that is all it is. Is that hard? Yes, damn hard. You'll think of a million reasons why you "deserve" a drag. That little voice in your head is merciless. But only you can put that cig to your lips and only you can say you won't.

Try the Blu brand e cigarette. A friend of mine said he wanted to quit smoking so I did what I do and researched several brands of e cig. He's successfully quit and is much happier and healthier.

Yeah, I quit cold turkey when i found out i was expecting my DD.  I should have never started back up again.  I really want to try for another baby, so maybe i can get two things at once, a baby, and quit smoking! LOL... =) Maybe my hubby will agree to that!
