Rampent Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 I was an addict too for years. (i'd have rolled up from someone else's ashtray if I'm being honest) stopped for a year cold turkey then started again, was more addicted than before, saw family members die from lung cancer and knew had to stop. and it took months but I have done it, I know that I can't risk smoking even one again (thats how I started again last time). I still have odd cravings but they don't last long. I miss bits about smoking but there's a lot of benefits too-breathings better, I don't stink,house is cleaner, I don't miss life cos I'm thinking when can I go for a fag, and I'm less likely to die horribley and too young. There is a way for everyone to stop rampent-a good book is the one by Alan Carr (no not that one), hypnosis helped me -but I was already half way there-for some people its a one off solution, gum( I used that too) patches are right for some, there's a tablet your GP can prescribe (but only in certain circumstances), there's groups (that was never for me-but each to their own. Just remember everyone is different and there will be a way for you-to be honest I thought I could never stop but eventually I did, GOOD LUCK:) Thank you. How long do the cravings last for? Mine go for an hour and I give in. Must admit I am down to 30 a day now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistledoo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Anyone who wishes to give up smoking WILL give up smoking. It is merely a matter of making it a priority. It you can make it your main priority for several months you will succeed. The craving left me after around a month or so...that was 3 years ago. I smoked about 25 per day for many years.

Parvo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 think you might have to approach thisa different way if you want to stop tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you have a hundred sleeve of Richmonds hid under the car seat though? Like me? I get the auto suggestion though.
