accupuncture.

They put a small needle with a hoop in one ear and cover it with surgical tape and one in the other

ear.

they are inserted into nerve endings. Your ears have hundreds as do the soles of your feet and

every one is related to a different part of your body. (this practice is 5000 years old people)

One ears point  is for actual appetite. the other is for stress.

If you feel the desire to eat, you stimulate them gently with your finger tips.

the urge goes away.

You go in once or twice a week to have them checked.

I lost 30 pounds in a month.

Insurance may pay for it, I am not sure

but it worked for me when I did it.

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
