Really want to quit smoking. Need some suggestions from those who quit!?!


Question:

Really want to quit smoking. Need some suggestions from those who quit!?

I have my first cigarette within 3 minutes of waking up in the morning. Cup of coffe and a cigarette. (It's disgusting and I know it!). Those of you who have quit, how did you stop that first cigarette of the day? I want to start tapering off and begin taking Chantix. If I can postpone that first cigarette that in itself would be an accomplishment! So, what did you do when you got up instead of smoking? (and don't tell me to stay in bed lol)


Answers:

Chantix worked for me. You can still smoke for the first week you take it. I figured it out and timed it so I had my last smoke at bedtime the night before my second week started. Then I used gum (regular, not nicotine), sunflower seeds, and Tootsie Pops as substitutes. It was a challenge, but I'm nearly six months smoke free so far. Just make sure after you have that last one that you don't have any more smokes around. I went so far as to get rid of all my ashtrays and empty all the ones in the vehicles as well. Get rid of as much temptation as you can because you will get cravings. I still get them now, but a plain old stick of gum is all I need to take care of it. Best of luck to you!!
