• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey all. I started smoking at age 13, hevily at around 14. I smoked non stop till about 4 months ago (besides one year in jail). Ill be 20 in may. I know this may not be the prettiest advice persay but you must want to quit. yes that is a very general statement but its true. Dont let it get to the point of coughing up blood or getting amonias, largengitous like me. Thank god i dont see any signs of permenant asthma, but my point is not to scare when saying that. My point is that you dont have to let it get to that point. If you are a christian thats wounderful and ask for strength to quit and by that strength your willpower to stop will be much stronger then an unbeliever in a similar situation.

The main advice i can give though for once you give up the cigs jacks fugs smokes cancer sticks is, COLD TURKEY. no nicoteen patches none of that. IT prolongs it and develops even more of a mental addicition. So be ruthless and once you quit quit. Send that cig of sin to the wolves!

I dont mean to be OD but its true cigs are the worst manee !

Thanks for your suggestion. Smokes sure are the worst! I am praying to quit. I have a cough already but it's not real bad yet. I had an asthma attack yesterday for a short time. I am going to quit, when is the question though.
