compulsive smoking

[annrobert]

hi everyone,
The harder I have tried to quit smoking the more compulsive and heavier I have smoked.Just the idea of having to quit makes me want to smoke even more.I know I must quit for my health, and as an example to my family as well as because it is a sin.any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks

It's something about the addiction, which I haven't beaten yet either. I'ts like when you are low on cigarettes you want to smoke more and faster, versus smoking less with a full pack. Try to limit yourself slowly. For example, say, from now on I will never smoke in the bathroom again. ONce you get the hang of that, say, I will never smoke in the living room. After a few weeks or month of getting used to this, take it from there - like the car, then eventually I won't smoke after this hour of the day, or I will not smoke for this set of hours. I haven't tried this enough yet but it worked for my therapist. Took her 2 years to quit but hey, it worked for her.
