Commit Lozenges (quitting smoking for good this time)

[rudeguy]

So I am re-quitting smoking. Last time I found dumb excuses to cheat, not this time. I have invested in the Commit Lozenges. Put one in your mouth for 20-30 minutes and they slowly release nicotine.

I am going to quit. Anyone want to give me some good things to think about if I have a craving?

Think about your lungs being pink and not black.

When I quit chewing tobacco for me it was all about finding something else to occupy my time when I would otherwise be tempted. I usually tried to make that some significanltly different physical habit. I tried Nicorette gum and I tried perscriptions from my doc, but the only thing that ended up helping significantly was the patch. That and changing those physical habits. Lots of people ignore the psychological aspect of it and that is a mistake. Take on the physical and the behavioral stuff equally and your chances of quitting for good will be better.

Good luck man.

Go run a mile everytime you feel like having one, seriously, you'll get tired of thinking about smoking. Exercise!!!

Think about how much money you're saving and how much happier you'll be 20 years down the road when you're not hooked up to oxygen tanks because of emphysema. Then remind yourself that cravings will pass, unless you're drunk.

Another thing that helps is to take the money you'd normally spend on cigarettes and save it up. Treat yourself at the end of the week to a nice dinner or going out to a club or something. Thats what I do. At the end of the week I have an extra $30 to go out to the club and get drunk with. I occasionally bum a smoke at the bar, but I won't buy a pack again because now I can go out and have fun and not regret it halfway through the week when I'm broke. I figure I'm okay just as long as I don't buy a pack and I -ONLY- smoke when I'm drunk (since I rarely get drunk in the middle of the week, unless its a special occasion or something). So far its worked (1 month and counting).

Think about these. Seriously, those are disgusting, even to a person who is not easily disgusted.

Almost 2 full days and not one cheat. Well I did puff on a cigar, but I didnt inhale. And Mr. Clinton taught us all that not inhaling is what counts!!!

If anyone is thinking about quitting, try these things. They seem to have as much nicotine as the patch, but they let you get that instant satisfaction that you need sometimes.

Great product, definately worth the $40!

GOOD LUCK!
and post your progress here each day. i have found that if you have to answer to someone daily that it is easier to quit an obsession.

I agree with this man. It's mental as well. Remember that. Convince yourself that you want to quit. It makes it *easier.* Not easy by any means, but even after a few days....you'll feel better.

I tried about two months ago, and did well for a month. Then went back to my own ways. I'm doing it again with the patch, and it's helped me a lot. The patch is a little expensive, but pale in comparison to how much you are really helping yourself.

Good Luck.
