I have been a non smoker for over six months now...March 9 of this year. I had wanted to quit for some time. I had smoked since I was a teen and was planning to try hypnosis since the Chantex did not work for me. I had quit only 2 times...when I was pregnant with my two children and both times I had stopped cold turkey. Honestly, I wasn't even planning to quit that day. I had done a couple of things that I think helped...I had taken a meditation class and learned to breathe for relaxation and started making myself think of smoking very negatively. For example, I would think of how it was messing up my lungs, how it was going to make me die young, etc. Every time I smoked, I would try to make myself think about all the bad things. One morning I woke up and had two cigs left. I lit one and it didn't taste good...I put it out and thought "I'm gonna see how long I can go before smoking that last cig"....never smoked it. I think one thing I had to do was to tell myself that I am addicted to smoking. Like an alcoholic...I knew I could NEVER let myself have even one puff. I had been smoke free for 3 months when my dad died and I immediately wanted a cigerette...it just proved how very addicted I was. If you still smoke, don't give up, just keep trying to quit!
