HOW TO QUIT SMOKING By emb

Paul (My Husband) was able to quit by going to his doctor and using the prescription pills: Bupropion HLC 75MG

...Unfortunately, it didn't work - He went back to smoking.

OR Try what worked for me. I call it the "The Step Backwards Method":

#1. Wait until you Really DO want to quit smoking - not someone else wants you to quit, but you yourself wants YOU to quit - will power is going to make the difference for you, and if you don't have the will, there is nothing that will give you the way!

#2. Most of us smokers do not smoke during our sleep hours - if you do, DON'T. This gives you 6-8 hours head start on not smoking. When you wake up, Go Ahead and light that cigarette ... BUT

#3. DO NOT INHALE - Do Not From Now On Ever Knowingly Inhale - this will be tough as you will automatically inhale so you will have to think about Not Inhaling, but once you do that ... It becomes easy Not To Inhale - because if you do accidently after about the 2rd day, you find that low and behold it makes you cough or feel guilty - associate smoking with that coughing or guilty feeling and realize yeah, I wasn't a whimp before, my lungs and ME just didn't like it! Duh!

#4. Take WORT - Gotta have it! - a simple herb that you will need at the beginning cause you are fighting the addiction thing here too. Your nicotine craving will cause you to chain light-up but won't give the old satisfaction without inhaling (or coughing if you accidently inhale) so the herb St. John's WORT will help you not want to break things into tiny, small, little, pieces from your frustration - it did for me anyway ... *Grins*

#5. WING yourself off of lighting up at all - After day 6 you really don't much like it anyway - stinks and is filthy and you know inhaling will only make you cough or feel guilty so what is the point? Try not lighting up - re-light the same cig. all day - it doesn't matter - you are not inhaling so it doesn't give you a buzz like an old used cig. used to do. This will convince you that you really don't need that cig after all. Ready? Now Throw the rest of them away or give them to someone!

Those 5 little steps before "Cold Turkey" will give you the edge over ever wanting to smoke again ... you did it yourself because you FIRST went back to where you were as a beginner and finally became like a non-smoker. Now, you can easily say - "hey, I choose Not to smoke!" :)

SMOKE FREE but the old habit may still be there - When the Boredom gets to be TOO MUCH! - Have a sucker or chew some gum - something that will help take some of the habits' "I'm bored! Time to light a cigarette to give me something to do" thingy away.

I bet you never thought a 30 year habit could be zapped in just 7 days! Try It, it just might be what will work for you too!

Those that love God can also keep in mind WHO their strength is - repeat as often as need be - "I Can Do ALL Things through Christ who strengthens me!"

"I Can Do ALL Things through Christ who strengthens me!"

"I Can Do ALL Things through Christ who strengthens me!"

Whichever method you use, I know You Can Do IT!

God's Best To You! ... :) Shangy!!

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

May you, and all those you love,
be so blessed and fortunate
as to stand approved before God,
unashamed of your workmanship.

May God Always Bless You and Yours As
You Stand Steadfast on His Word Of Truth!
