Re: healthy not smoking options?

[Guest guest]

My husband knocked me up....that worked for me. lol

 

Seriously though, my dad quit using Vicks cough drops.  The last time my husband

quit (he started again unfortunately) he used sunflower seeds, the kind that you

have to spend time keeping your mouth busy shelling and spitting them out lol -

he left shells everywhere!!! in the car, all over the house but it worked.  He

also used gum. 

 

I have 2 boxes of patches that he has failed using twice so I can't say they've

been helpful for him yet.

So I quit smoking and do real good for about six months and then start

again. this time its not as bad, because its like one a day, a pack a week.

BUT

I use dum dum suckers and wasabi peas to quit smoking.

so if you are reformed smoker, what did you use and how did it work?

good point with the sunflowers, I've done those before! (I quit all the time

and stay quit for months or years and then pick it back up)

Have you read Allan Carr's book? You can get a used copy cheap through

amazon. I know several people it's worked for. Here's his site.

Allan Carr's book is awesome! I gave up bout two years ago using it and

actually managed to LOSE weight - he makes you realise you don't actually need

ANYTHING to replace cigarettes, he takes away your reasons to smoke and with it

any niggles for needing *something* to do with your hands/mouth.

I found his book " The Easyway for Women to Stop Smoking " also really helpful -

it goes into more specific reasons that women tend to smoke, and by reading it

you feel a whole lot more relaxed and confident about giving up smoking and

therefore not so likely to go wandering into the kitchen looking for something

to nibble. I'm a big fan!

Good luck with the giving up smoking - it really is one of the best things you

can do. After a few months all my workouts got a whole lot easier as it

literally felt like i had an extra 50 per cent lung capacity and it really made

me feel so much stronger and able to go on for hours.
