I have gone cold turkey for the last 3 days and it was fine up to the last hour, all of a sudden I was hit by nicotine withdrawal, I became very anxious and could not stay still, my legs got heavy and I became very light headed. I fought it for a half an hour but had to smoke one or else I was going to have to ring the doctor, I felt that bad. I thought these cravings only lasted a few minutes, I hope that is the last one I smoke. I never liked smoking tobacco but got addicted because I mix it with cannabis that I have smoked for 17 years. I am off the cannabis over a week and there is no problem or withdrawal and I don't want it any more, it has run its course. I was never a heavy smoker, so it will be easier to give up, I hope.
Has anyone gone through this that can give me some advice on how to deal with those cravings? I was off them for 7 months last year but I used nicotine patches for the first 10 weeks, it draws it out for to long.

dear Shama-an,
Quited smoking 7 years ago, smoked 2 packs a day, did the one step programm, every time I wanted to smoke I grabbed my sudoko booklet and i did puzzles the first 3 weeks almost daily, in the fourth week when i drank a coffee wanted to do a puzzle so then i Just needed to kick off from the puzzles. Must admit I dont like puzzles anymore. Love and Light and be stubborn, don't smoke ever again.........Helene
Dawn, I'm not a 100% sure, as usually there's nothing one can do with these things, but ask Ben if there is an upgrade to the forum php that will allow the reply and edit option for blogs.
Yeah, don't think you betrayed yourself, because you had to have one, after you promised you wouldn't.
Some can stop stone cold. Others wean themselves off it little by little. Beats me which one of those two is harder on one's will.
But you're so over this man, you are already onto your next adventure. ;)
You've received a ton of advice, you know yourself that this is what you are doing.
It's already finished, you've won! :)
your body is your temple but you said you smoked weed the other day-do you filter the carcinogens while inhaling? I like to smoke cigarettes-menthol 3-4 a day in the evening
I take supplements, Sytropin HGH, fruits , veggies, a little meat/poultry, exercise, no booze, no dope, meditate, stay as lean as I can but I gotta have a few smokes-

The day i stoped, it was clear in my mind that i was about to lead my self,
in other words when i really understood the reasons why i was smoking
and the purpose of those who sell this tobaco to us it was clear that i was going to stop
with no real effort . No way i will pay for this tobaco to aloud them ( Tabaco corporations )
to prosper while they sofly kill me .
When you think and truly understanding this , it became really easy to stop .
Hello Shama-an!
I am also a smoker. Years ago, I used to have up to 10-13cigs. a day. Then I decided to have lesser than I used to have.
I did some research, and I found a simple home remedy. After a while, I would have less and less, without any cravings.
You get a jar of "Cream of Tartar", and every night, 30-40 minutes before going to bed, you mix a half tea-spoon of it with a glass of Orange juice, ( or any natural juice ), and drink it. Slowly, your body will "get crazy" less and less....
BY THE WAY, TAKING ''CREAM OF TARTAR'' ( in the same way ), IS ALSO CLEANSING FLOURIDE FROM YOUR BODY!!!!!!!! SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD DO!!!
You may also, check this website;
http//www.naturalnews. com and ask them questions.
P.S. By the way, I also started using the brands that I did not enjoy...
As of now, I am having only 2-3 cigarettes a day, and... (here is another trick ) I am using the same cigarette TWICE!!! Half and half!
I wish YOU the best!!!
Well good for you...I know it's not easy to give up an addiction, it takes will power and discipline...but you know...once you're fully over it, you'll be glad you did.
