Hints and tips

So. I’m officially 5 days in. It’s intense right now. My mental health is not where I want it to be. At at this moment I’m craving a smoke!! I really don’t want to slip up but I feel like I NEED ONE!!! Withdrawals are kicking my a$$ right now.

One of the most random amazing ways I've used to help quit is a sort of hypnotic, but Ural beat music I found on YouTube - here is the link: https://youtu.be/UrhlyWo0zto there are many like this if you go 'quit smoking music' into YouTube. I can say it does do wonders.

So I’m 4 days in. My mental health is completely all over the place. I’m craving a smoke right now!! But I don’t want to stuff up the hard work I’ve done so far. Would someone be able to give me some advice on dealing with the withdrawals for someone whom suffers from mental health illnesses? I’m worried I’m going to relapsed and I want to prevent that as much as I can!! Thank you ...

Turn the volume low just above a whisper and let it play through the night, other episodes will follow but they are positive and confidence building. Hope it makes you feel great like it did me, and took the struggle out of trying to quit. Tip 2 - ...

After 53 years I took my last puff. Still got the selfie. Reason : self disgust and my family. Joined this help forum a few months later. Thank God I did. Went cold Turkey and drank voluminous amounts of really strong sweet coffee. After 3 months the real pangs went. After 6 months was totally free. $55000 saved. New extension on house. New Gibson 335 guitar. Self respect back. Still aliv...

I was going so well for 3 weeks and now I am back at square one again. I have been smoking for a week now and it only took one slip. I am not sure why my mindset changed, smoking is such a horrendous addiction. Although I feel like giving up on giving up, I know I need to pick myself back up and start again. So day 1 again for me!!
