I’ve been smoking since I was 12 now I’m a lot older than 12 actually closer to 40 yrs old.I want to stop way back in my early 20′s I tried the gum but that made me sick. Has anyone here stopped smoking and how did you do it? I smoke mainly when its late at night like now and during the day when I’m stressed but I want to quit, just not sure how to do it. How do the patches work? If anyone’s had any luck, please tell me the brand and symptoms from them like were you tired, jittery, sick? I know I can’t just put them down. I’ve thought about quitting but now its time and I’m tired of smoking, but addicted.
I smoked for 15 years. I had tried quitting many times, but the withdrawl symptoms were so bad that I started back again. I truely believe the tobacco companys are putting more and more nicotene in cigarettes to make us more addicted.
If you really want to quit this is what works. First go to your doctor and have hime prescribe Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is a anti-depressant but they have also found that it helps to quit smoking. If you do not have a drug card or cannot afford the medication either look up Walmarts website that list the medications that they offer for $4.00 or ask your doctor if he has samples or can get them for you. A lot of doctors have samples they can give to you. When you think about how much you pay for cigarettes the cost of the medication is nothing. I took the Wellbutrin for about 2 months before quiting smoking and less than a month afterwards. When you are feeling confident about quitting find a hypnotist. Either find one who others have recommended or check on the internet to see when a hypnotist is coming to your city and is going to do a group hypnosis for quitting smoking. The one I went to was at the Holiday Inn and they had about 100 people there. I was very unsure with that many people there that it would work for me, but it did!!!! You should actually start looking into finding a group hypnosis or a private one now so you can coodinate the Wellbutrin and hypnotist so you have your quit day in mind . The wellbutrin must be taken first.
I quit 5 years ago. I am completely shocked to this day that I have not had a cigarette, craved one, or thought about it.
The night I got hypnotized the hypnotist told us toward the end of the session to go outside and smoke our last cigarette and then throw our pack out. I was so happy to get one last one that i smoked two in like 5 minutes. I gave a lot away also because some people had already thrown theirs away before the meeting. After the session it was about 11:30 pm . I drove home feelin pretty good but unsure if my brain had obeyed the commands given to it. I went to sleep when I got hame. The next day I keep thinking’ where are my cigarettes?’ Then I would tell myself’ Oh yeah I quit. ‘ That was all that I felt or thought about on the first day. I did not crave one. The second day I did not even wonder where my cigs were. I swear this is the truth. I did not miss or want them at all. I had no withdrawl symptoms what so ever. It was a true miricle. It was even out of my mind. The only thing I felt or thought was WOW, this is so good that it’s crazy. I have talked to people who did hypnosis by itself that worked for a month or a year , but ended up unsuccessful {( I even did hypnosis many years before , but craved them every day , cried for a month and after a year of torture I stated back up while drinking a glass of wine while with a friend who was smoking. I can drink a glass or two of wine and still dont think about it, however I am truely a reformed smoker because the hypnotist told us that we would be physically sick if we are around smoke and my brain was definately listening. If I am in a car that has stale smoke smell my who body tenses up and I am in pain. I have an allergic reaction and my body physically hurts.
The combination of using the two together is a winner answer. I know you can do it!!!! If I could do it than anyone can.
Good luck . If you try this maybe you can go to my 360 page and leave me a comment on how it’s working for you. You can quit I know you can!!!!
