On day 2 of not smoking. I try not to think about cigarettes, however, it has been apart of my life for 40 years. I have read Allen Carr, I am using the patch and in the book he states use nothing. Please provide any information that can help me through this. I am truly trying not to smoke, any advise will help.
Welcome to Ex.....2 Days is outstanding and in 24 more hours all the nicotine will be out of your system. Read Carrs book again. Highlight areas that stand out to you and use the book as a reference. Use this site when you can. READ many blogs, new and old. The more you learn about the addiction the better prepared you will be wen urges come.
Blog here as often as you want. Knowledge truly is power. Every time you smoke you wake up the receptors in your brain that turn on the craves. The more you deny the crave the less strength you give...the sooner your headed to freedom. You must go through tonged the breakthrough, we all did and while patches, gums and such can help...you still have to make the choice not to smoke. I used nothing. I had tried it all but was not successful. I truly feel that for me ...knowledge...was the best tool I had to beat this crappy addiction....and this site and Carrs book. I wore my book out . By the end I had darn near the whole book highlighted.
im glad you here. We are here for you. Oh, and buy Vicks vapor rub, a little under the nose. I had the little blue bottles and the nasal inhaler everywhere. It literally killed my craves instantly. I used it all for about a month, then never needed them.
Good luck, hope we see you here a lot!
