If you seriously want to quit smoking ...

Try
It's not a "quit now" or "quit in five days" site, it's a serious one, & it's FREE.

Thanks. I had a quick read through and it does make alot of sense. It's also nice to know I am not the only one who *used* to fall victim to such excuses.
It certainly has given me a new perspective on things.

That link talks about addiction. If you really were addicted, you wouldn't last the 8 hours during sleep, but would wake up wanting. Does anyone wake up craving a fag? I didn't think so which means if you can last 8 hours, you can last 24 hours which means you can last 7 days etc:

I do crave something awful during the night and first thing in the morning. Sad I know. It was probably the worst part of my last quit attempts because come the morning I was exhausted.
But I've made it this far. It wasn't easy, but if i give up now then it will all have been for nothing (or a very good lesson in never ever putting myself through quitting again - says my unconscious mind).

NOT LISTENING!!!

This IDIOT obviously has never smoked or know many people that do! To say people don't wake up wanting a fag! Most smokers I know have to have a fag first thing in the morning, and I know I have one myself within 45 minutes of waking up when I am working.

Excuse me shacklegob, don't come on here calling people you don't know names.
I have smoked 40-50 per day for 20 years, so stuff that where the sun don't shine.

You are obviously attempting to deny that the main part of quiting is 'will power and I said 'wake up' not get up in the morning.

[JRD553]

I wasn't obviously trying to deny anything ya numpty? I didn't mention quitting or will power? All i said was to say smokers don't wake up wanting a fag is simply stupid, nothing else?

[Conniff]

So you wake up once per hour gagging for a ciggy througout the night?

I love one first thing but don't wake up because I need one.

[JRD553]

Obviously not but then it's a different part of the brain that takes over and does the thinking when you are asleep so why would you?

[Conniff]

The point I was trying to make is that it is mostly will power and not need.
If the 'body' desperately needed a fix, then it would wake in the night wanting one, but as it doesn't then that shows the desire is more in the mind.

Hi,

I feel i if you seriously want to quit smoking avoid bars that have smoking sections, always choose to sit in the non-smoking area of restaurants, basically overall stay away from things that might urge you to smoke. Keep busy with working, doing chores around the house.
