Hello,

I quit smoking (11th days - I can't believe it!) but sadly, still, badly craving....

Has anyone any positive/helpful tips to get over it ?

Thanks for sharing

Corinne

Hi Corine,


Congratulations to you...

A friend of mine launched a new idea: "Chewing Wood"

I know it is already successful in France, Belgium and Canada.


See the site: Link (http) . It is presently french only, as this company is new and starting now.

Contact him here, his firstname is Michel: info@chewingwood.com (say you are refered by me). He will be delighted to help.


Keep this way !


Best regards, Sebastian Delcampe

Cordialement,
Corinne

bonjour corinne,
is the name of seb's friend 'woody woodpecker'? i thought you told me you had quit smoking already? well, this time, just wear a nicotine patch (if you want too, it helps the craving subside), but don't smoke while wearing it. you can give yourself nicotinic poisoning and a possible heart attack (this is true and you know my medical background.) drink lots of water to help flush the excess nicotine from your system. don't hang around smokers, quitting smoking is like quitting drinking or drugs. you have to change people, places and things when you get sober so you have to do the same when you quit smoking. it is a drug too. cajun has 24 years of sobriety and quit smoking in 1994. and he did it one day at a time. expect to gain a few pounds, your body was underweight anyway, that was normal. your taste buds come back, your lungs will clear out with some coughing. but the air will smell better, you will smell better, your clothes and house will smell better. and you will live longer. and be my friend for a long time little sister. take care and don't smoke any longer. s.v.p.

amities,
bill.

and watch those snacks!!!

Hello Bill,

Oh yes, I remember, I did quit for a almost 6 weeks.

But when I had to deal with my serious health issue, I just start again motto "If I'm going to die, let me have my last!" Stupid, isn't it !?

and I since I completely recover but always found "excuses".

It makes me so Angry to see how strong addicted I am and hungry too you're right... therefore I do not really want to get the patch (It is just another way to let the drug win : It's becoming a personal war...). As I never smoked inside, it doesn't make any difference but I should soon be an "Athlete" as each time the urge come I drive to the YMCA...

Congratulation on your GrandSON. I'm sure you're going to be again a very Proud Grandpa.

Take care,
Corinne

bonjour corinne,
exercise is good, but drinking water does more to help flush the nicotine out. and this reduces the craving of the drug. and time will cure the rest. trust me, you will hate the smell of them soon with so much disgust, you will wonder why you ever smoked. my mother told me to quit when she found out she had terminal lung cancer. i finally kept my promise 4 years after she died. and i know what you have been through and your struggles. but you must learn to deal with the stress in other ways - drug free. bon courage mon ami.

amities,
bill.

Hi Bill,

It's a busy day but I wanted to give ytou an update :

I did order 1 pack of these "Chewing-woood"... I'll send you 1 to try when reading the unpleasant stuff I saw.

I'm still not smoking (very proud of myself).

Take care,
Corinne

hi corinne,
you don't have to send me one corinne. i have been smoke free for many years. i'm sure it tastes like an orange flavored stick. i can get the same taste from a ice cream pop. besides, if you send it in an evelope, it will most likely get stuck in the automation equipment and never arrive. remember, i used to work on those machines in the mail processing center (GMF) here in tampa. by the time they come you really will not need them, the cravings should subside. just drink lots of water as i said and eat some fruit, do your exercises, and smell the fresh air of the pine trees. that should be incentive enough to stay smoke free. and think of the consequences of smoking - lung cancer, COPD, second hand smoke to your family and others. it is no wonder my dying mother told me to quit. she was so wise and i was a fool not to listen until 4 years later, until i finally quit. thanks mom. i'm finally weaned.
later gator,
bill.
