Help with quiting smoking

[Trippin]

Hello
Don't know if this will be much help, but I've started and with Gods help stopped so many times that I feel pretty much allergic to them when I smoke now. You'd think that would keep me from smoking.
Somethings that might help in a big way is:
1. First work at getting rid of all the fast food in your life. Thats it, no more Mcdonalds, Wendys, ect.
2. Stop drinking caffiene.
3. If you can stop eating candy.

This sounds almost insane, you'd think that candy or caffiene would be a good trade off for nicotiene. But preservatives (fast food), sugar rush (candy), and caffiene all produce a buzz. The buzz lowers self control.

And one last thing. The body has a hiearchy of needs, and mentally so do you. If you stop eating for the first three days you'll have no withdrawls what so ever. Not physically or mentally, for nicotiene anyway. Your body will be screaming for food, which sometimes is easier to cope with. But without God this does you no good. You have to eat some time.
Hope it helps

Actually nicotine stops the body absorbing most of the caffeine that you drink. So when you quit you have a full on caffeine trip. That is why they say when you quit you should seriously cut back on your caffeine or quit as your body will go on overload. Also nicotine suppresses your bodies cravings for food. Thus when you quit you crave foods as well as when you taste buds come back to life you enjoy food more so you eat more. It is important when you quit that you are aware of how nicotine effects your body and thus conteract it in you quit plan (or if you are like me and think that quitting is the most important thing - worry about the rest later). I don't think you should quit smoking and quit eating at the same time. Not only will you be a wreck but you will give up on both quickly. I would never encourage people to quit by being unhealthy. Find out the way that suits you. Work at it and you will succeed. At the end of the day this is about making you feel better and live a healthier life.

Yes, definately, I wasn't trying to get anyone strung out. I should have put this works for me "personally", or has in the past.
It's just strange, don't find myself needing one usually once I stop untill I eat. And once I eat if I don't smoke it's like a bomb hit my system. Not that after a meal cigarette thing. More like your body being able to scream louder and exhaustion. And to get my body to continue to running rite usually just pound things like cranberry juices, grapefruit juices, ect in large amounts all through the day.
Sorry, didn't mean that everyone should do this, just quite a lot of times also and found this to help.Something to think about anyway.
Have a good one
