What is the best way to fight and addiction? Going cold turkey or do it step by step?
NO SMOKING!
Sort:
there is no best way,
there is either to institutionalize the way to stop the addiction, (life long!), either to quit;
no one has any interest, but the junkie and his health , happiness and finance too, to quit :
the manufacturers,
those who sell ersatz, patchs, gums, etc ...
the psycho analysts and therapist of all kind, hypnosis, magnetisers, etc ....
if yesterday the smoker was a positive hero (cowboy, latin lover etc ...), today the positive hero is the one who tries to smoke (and of course don't quit), not the one who became non smoker. Check in the movies, that 's it ! sales increase, everyone is happy, two markets the smokers, and ..those who try to stop ...life long! business is business.

I understood the first sentence but everything after that.. . How does this help me to know all the things you told me?
Doing sports helped me.
Al, your Soo right about the clock. Your last sentence was also correct. A drummer podcast recently said, "Invest in exercise now....or suffer bad health later". I wish you well on your up-coming surgery. Smositional; Pete--the post after yours has it right. There is no best way. The effective way is finding out what works for you. For some its Chantix.....for others its the patch.....others Hypnosis.....drink lots of water and exercise like adrenaline for a runners high. Cold Turkey worked for my dad. I'm not wheezing like I use to. I'm also using my inhalers every other day instead of every day.

Thx, there's never an easy way *sigh* but the fact that there is one is very encouraging.

yes smokers probably hate the winners , IDK .
I red that they clean now some inactive groups and threads, let us keep it this one,like the preeceeding , active, good souvenir here.
Unless RoJoCo stopped ?
I haven't stopped but I did come close to doing 2 cigs a day a couple of times this week. I have to be honest, I didn't do 2 I did 3.....but I came SOooo close.
Also, this is a constructive thread that can help many members. I think the're getting rid of all those SPAM threads.
+1 don't stop totally or the thread would be useless lol
I read that it is your SECOND thread on that topic, When did u start , i mean, to stop ?
I smoked Marlboro all my life. Never went more than a pack a day. The smoking Sesassion classes recommend you switch to a lower miligram of tar and nicotene.
