Quote From: linda12k this board really picked up. I'm been on this board for a while now, trying to help when I can. This is what I discovered from this board.
1. Get a prescription of Wellbrutrin or Zyban; this takes the edge off of quitting, you have to be on it 1 to 2 weeks before you actually give them up.
2. Pick a QUIT date.
3. Get one of these; nicotine gum, inhaler or patch, to get you through the day, I personally used the inhaler.
4. Post often on the message board of how you are coming along.
5. Find something to keep hands busy.
6. Get yourself a meter, www.silkquit.org. , it is an incentive to keep going, once your meter is going on how long you have quit.
7. Read some of the old postings on this board, to see what worked for others, also the "archives".
Nicotine is one drug that will tell you "just one more time", and if you do, you are hooked again.
I really believe everyone that has smoked, has tried many times to put them down, hopefully this will be the right time for you !!!!!
I, myself smoked 34 years, a pack a day. I am also a Lung Cancer survivor, minus a left lung now.
