any piece of advice is welcome
P.S. Thanks to all the people that have taken their time to help me (and not just me, but others as well). It is much appreciated, and, from what I‘ve read, the „cold turkey“ method seems the most appealing to me. I‘ll quit smoking today, on the 7th of November 2024.
Alan Carr’s stop smoking book is highly regarded, and encourages you to smoke as you read along, until by the end you won’t want to.
Combine that with a NAC supplement (which doesn’t do anything for withdrawals, but studies show it makes trying smoking again far more unpleasant for your brain which helps you stay off them.
I read Allen Carr’s book “easy way to quit smoking without willpower” and took a drug called Chantix (prescription drug here in Sweden and my first doctor didn’t want to prescribe it because all I needed was willpower according to him). The book helped with the habits, the drug removed the cravings and I’ve been cigarette free since then. It was my third or fourth attempt, and it was BY FAR the easiest. Ignore everyone telling you to quit cold turkey, to have willpower or whatever else, and get Champix prescribed to you.
might consider that, thank you
If you don’t have the willpower or don’t really want to, you will fail. It’s nearly all willpower.
*Crys in depression which fuels smoking more
You have to want to stop. I smoked 13 years, stopped several times, but the final real stopping was not that hard.
What also worked quite well for me as a crutch were nicotine free cigarettes. I decided I’d smoke as many of those as I wanted. Started with 20 at the first day and it slowly reduced by itself over time, till at one point o completly stopped without even realizing it.
Say what. I feel like I’m addicted to the feeling of smoke being inhaled. Vapes reck me and I can’t stop coughing.
What are these things you speak of
I’m not the guy to ask. That was taken yesterday.
If you find out, let me know, please. :)
Haha, I promise. I might even propose you to quit smoking together? o.0
One day at a time. Every time you want a cigarette but don’t give in, you have built strength. Use that strength to better resist the next urge. Really internalize that what you are doing is strong and powerful. Each victory accumulates and supports those to come.
thanks ^^
IRL social network is a major factor.
