July Quitters

[hollu]

Decided not to wait on July...I quit!

I keep reading about the nicotine replacement aides, but due to a childhood illness I cannot use ANY of them. Does anyone have some suggestions that will help me with the cravings? I'm doing this solo & the closer my date gets the more panicy I get. Thanks for any ideas.

I have set my quit date for July 3rd, at midnight on the 2nd I will put to rest my three triggers, I know that with the help of this program and other step programs I will fight to make it happen. I wish all of us Good Luck.

Tweetilyn - another good idea is breathing. I know it sounds silly, but my doctor reminded me that we're actually taking in deep breaths when we smoke, and taking deep breaths (breathing in fresh air and breathing out stress/cravings) is often what our bodies really want. I've found it really helpful! Especially breathing through a straw, or something to keep my mouth and fingers busy. Good luck!

hey all, since I quit at the end of June I figured i would join both groups, I quit June 22nd using Chantix and I am loving it!
  If anyone has questions feel free I like to help!

The Chantrix helps with the cravings and really with the whole thought of smoking all together. I will let you know how it goes, quit date is Monday, however since I have been on Chantrix I have cut down by half of what I used to smoke, so this stuff works.

Lynne, when I woke up on my quit day I felt like I had never even been a smoker on Chantix, it does work you dont even have to think about it!

I haven't had a smoke in over 24 hours! So far I am feeling great! Trying the patches again this is the 3rd time with them though. Maybe 3rd time is a charm!!
