3 weeks

Hi
Well my story begain with a bad back believe it or not. Ct scan of spine allso showed up emphysema. So the Doctors said what are you going to do. Humm stupid question I thought. but answered saying "well I will have to give up smoking then" She then handed me a scrip for tablets, but I had allready started cutting down myself, so thought I would have ago doing it myself.
The next day I was down the shop buying patches, could not stop crying completely lost control. Patches seem to work for the 1st 2 weeks but now I am down to the lowest one cant stop thinging about going out for a smoke. aaaaaaaaah
I have been a heavy smoker for 40yrs, on really strong cigs. So not to sure how I am going to go.
Chewing alot of chewing gum (not the cig one yuk) stomach is bloated so I feel like I am going to pop.
Has anyone tried any other ways?

Just use your willpower and think about your lungs everytime you want a smoke. I was like you but I had a Stroke I am now 62days Cold Turkey and feel good.
P.S.
I smoked for 41 Yrs non stop

Hi Onenight
Well done (clap,clap, clap)
But do you still feel like you want to have a smoke even after 62 days?

Sorry refreshed the page and reposted last comment. Lol
Thanks eric
I hung on to that scrip just in case
Only thing about using them now is, I think I have to start smoking again for 10 day. That is one of the reasons I didnt use them.

I did hypnotherapy if you live in sydney and want the guys detail I will be glad to help im 60 days and no stress no need to want or care to even think about having another smoke he cured me in 40 mins and $200 ,well worth it .....my contact thecheifsdelight@yahoo.com.au

Hi lucifer
So glad you have found away to make your journey easier. Yep that is the kind of thing i was looking at doing, but I will have to find someone in Perth for that
Thanks for posting though. Its great to hear how everyone goes

Ok
Looked into hypnotherapy, Hummm, 1 cost $150 for an hr and another cost $440 for 2 hrs, now totally confused.
Going back to my Doc Monday afternoon. She left for 4 weeks holiday the day I saw her and found out about the emphysema. So she has not seen that the xrays came back clear (well atleast no different to the ones 6yrs ago which should chicken pox scaring).
Not sure what to ask her as I made the appointment the day she left.?
should I really find out where I stand, as I have no idea what stage I am or anything or just stay in the dark do you reckon?
