I am thinking of quiting smoking again??

I have stopped and started soo many times. I have done the patches.. gum.. inhaler...hypnosis... will power...back to patches ... gum... you get the picture. I want to lose the habit but I can't do it on my own. Anyone else out there have these issues and over come?? Did you gain weight? I still have about 40 pounds to lose from the last time i quit =( Any help or suggestions will be reviewed and noted =). When I quit I become VERY edgy, not even close to the sweet nice guy I am truly. The addiction is bad in me and my close friends will almost hold me down and make me smoke cause I am such an A**hole everytime i try and quit. Please help if you can!! thank you

    well, I'm sorry that you can't stop smoking, and i can tell you of all people know how horrible it is to start in the first place. try this medicine stuff I've heard of, I'm not sure what it's called, but i hear it throws your nicotine receptors out of whack and makes you nauseous whenever you try a cigarette, makes you never want to touch the stuff again, and with this it's not like you make an effort to quit, you're pretty much just doing what it takes to not feel like crap. although you might feel a little grumpy because you crave a cigarette, it's better than dealing without this because if you even try a cigarette, you're so grossed out. this is more of a quitting aid though, because unless you really want to quit, this won't work, but i can tell that you seem pretty dedicated to quit so good luck, it'll add many years onto your life.

    You need the "The Easy way To Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr. Look it up on amazon. Your problem is solved. You have to smoke while you read the book. I know you are intrigued! This book has helped millions quit, including celbrities such as Johnny Cash, Anthony Hopkins, Ashton Kutcher, etc.

    First, you have never quit. You have just taken a break from smoking. Quitting means just that, Period, end of story.

    So what I would suggest, if you are serious about putting them away for good, you have to tell yourself that this is not a test, but this a plan. Everytime to want to smoke just remember this is your life without cigarettes. It's very hard but you can do it. Don't use cigarettes as a reason to behave badly. They are not doing anything to you, you are using them. Good luck.

    Try calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW that works in many if not all states, to get help quiting smoking or spitting tobacco.

    It sounds like some time in a cancer ward at a hospital might do you some good. Seeing a lot of lung and other cancers in people who smoke(d) might help motivate you to quit one last time.

    Some have told me they "fooled" themselves into quiting by simply delaying their next cigarette, until "later", and "later" never comes.

    Lots of Vitamin C is supposed to help the cravings.

    I think if you are equating gaining more weight if you quit & you actually want to lose weight, you may not have the real desire to quit... sorry, find an interesting work-out routine you like that'll help you lose the weight & cigs.

    well pal,

    quiting smoking isn't something easy but my advice to you is that you have to be constantly drinking alot of water and avoid friends who smoke and also just try not to look at the advertisement.

    I can't tell you anything that would make you stop smoking. It has to be a decision that you make in your head and then be strong enough to do it.
