I quit smoking for 4 months one time and I quit cold turkey. It was hard for the first 3 to 4 days but after that your craving goes away. One thing that helped me was sunflower seeds and jolly rancher fire sticks. The salt from the seeds and the cinnimmon will stop the reaction from the nicotine and wanting to constantly eat. I am quiting again due to health problems. No not from smoking either...Me myself, I believe that if you are going to quit something don't use substitutes to take the edge off. You will probably end up with some other addiction. Good luck and I hope you win the battle..

no actually the reason im quiting is because of money issues , a growing family and down to one income= no smokwing for me. so a vacation is out of the question. today is so much worse then even yesterday. i laid in bed from 1100 am to 1230pm just clutching my pillow it really sucks

I heard a preacher on T.V. say...(and I quote) "You wont go to Hell if you drink. You wont go to Hell if you smoke...you'll just smell like it."
haha. I just thought I'd share that. Never pick up another one!!!!!!!!!! Keep goin brother!
Keep this in mind...
Pray about your problems and for God to help you through this...He will always help you through tough times!
Fast if you have to (fasting and prayer always work!)
Walk by faith not by sight
Therefore when you see cigarette don't pick it up. Don't even think about touching it. Live by faith! By the grace of God you will never smoke again!
Keep up the good work!
God Bless!!

some people do not realize that cigarette addiction is as bad as heroin yeah if you could fast through this you much stronger than i, now on another note sleep like i said earlier is the best medicine at least there is a chance of smoking in a dream, keep it up believe it or not you are doin great, but i know you feel like you could roll the pope for a cig about now...tobin

i never understood fasting, why would god want us to starve our self... that is if you are doing it as a religious practice... i could understand fasting if you were trying to gain self control, which would also make sense in this case but still fasting.... i never got the point from the religious perspective

You know what got me to get to quit. Thinking about all the money I could spend on me tank. A can of dip a day, at 5 bucks plus 30 days, that is a 150 dollars I could spend on my tank. hehe Sadly that, not the health problems, family fights or anything else is what pushed me over the edge.
