Cravings

Hi Homebody, don't give in, all your hard work would be for nothing. Stay strong and think positive, goodluck x

Hi Homebody,

Congratulations on going cold turkey, very

hard to do but definitely can be achieved

if you're in the right mind set and in a good

place mentally.

The cravings will lessen over time.

Stay strong and all the best.

I admire anyone who can quit that way.

Thank you for all your support....when to doctors today and was told blood pressure was dangerously high so went on a bit of a low thinking maybe it was because I quit smoking..... but I have settled now and will continue to quit. Lol

Hi Homebody :-)

Red and I are both cold turkeys so we're on the same side of the river as you. What Red says is true, seven days kills it!! Good on you. The trick is to remember that nicotine does absolutely nothing positive for you. It does increase anxiety, create high blood pressure and all the other things you already know about. Before I quit, I was on a regime of having three sessions of ten deep breaths every day to try and control my blood pressure. After I quit, I forgot for a couple of weeks in the euphoria of being free from the 'nicodemon' (as my mate Red calls it) and I had my blood pressure measured whilst on a visit to my specialist. He took it, and then tried it on the other arm. I was a bit stunned and was quick to mention that I had forgotten to do my breathing exercises. He was a bit taken aback and then he told me that my blood pressure was absolutely perfect. It's the first time I've been told that. Mostly I'm used to hearing it's either 'a bit high' or 'quite high'.

I'm sure yours will return to normal in no time :) Keep on keeping on!

Thanks red-67 and zandtness yesterday was a challenge but I won!!! Today is a new day and I feel stronger today.....thanks again for your support if I have a weak moment I will read again both your replies

Hi Homebody,

As Zandyness and Red i also think that the best way to quit is COLD TURKEY.

Red mentioned something really important about not changing your daily routine.

Go out, drink, be around smokers. Even if you slip you will come back even stronger.

''A winner is just a loser who tried one more time''

I am almost 11 months without a single puff and i can tell you that i've never been more happy. Keep reminding yourself that smoking does not give you anything.

We have to remember that smoking is the problem, not the solution!!!

Keep up the good work,

Thanks Ivan...I feel today will be a good day

Congratulations homebody. I went cold turkey then 'boosted' with some hypnosis at day 10. Now if I feel cravings I use Tapping to help.

I'm going well and intend to keep going well - nicotine is well out of the system... just those 'habits' to break and get out of the mind!
