strive Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Maybe it's just like NC, you have to want it to be able to do it successfully. I don't remember what I did special to quit, but I remember why: I want to. I restarted again during my month-long BU, but after the BU was finally over I was able to quit again. I still do occasionally, but very few and far between. Maybe once (once = 2-5 sticks) every 3-5 months and only when I go to big parties with lots of drinks.
xUnknown Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 My friend did this and it worked for him. Every time he was craving a cigarette, he would replace it with something else - say a pretzel stick. You have to find ways to re-train the brain and kill the habit. Something similar like that. it was like me with NC and checking my ex's FB. I removed her from my feed but did not block her. I liked knowing that I COULD check her page, but I had the self discipline not to. In your situation, you know you COULD have a cig, but, you're better than that, you're choosing not to.
Mr me to Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I stopped smoking for 2 years and same as you started again after break up only only way to break any addiction is no contact... I don't have the strength to cope with nicotine withdrawals at the moment so have switched to using a electronic vaporiser, works out a lot cheaper doesn't smell and carries no cancergens
robbysurfs Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 The easy way to quit smoking by allen carr worked for me. I kid you not that book works seriously I was a pack a day smoker and been clean for over 2yrs now from the stuff.
StringsAttached Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Why not make it a new years resolution? That's what i'm doing and i'm in a similar boat. Anything used as a crutch to get you through your breakup will cause greater harm than if you mourn it naturally and eventually let it go. I made the mistake of smoking weed regularly after my last-breakup. It made me think I got over her but everytime I ran out I realized I was back at square one. Same with cigarettes (especially if your intake has increased dramatically after a traumatic event).
