I want to tell you that nothing was really painfull than quitting smoking. I decided to quit smoking or atleast decrease the consuption amounts of the nicotine. I have been smoking since i was 15 years old and i decided to quit when i am twenty years old. This is my fifth day of turture and ofcourse i am feeling much better now then i felt in a first day of quitting. I started to feel like something is missed from my life, something serious. The craving for sigarette still present and i have no idea when this is going to be finnished. The other problem is that my dad is a smoker and he smokes at home. So it gives me kind of flashback and i am feeling like before. Anyway 5th day i am in a sulky mood and its a big toil not to smoke, any one can advice what might i do in order to feel better while struggling with this terrible habbit? Because i know for every person to quit smoking is something like a chivalrous deed.

I do smoke, but not very regularly... I only do it while socializing with people at some party or some or the other do... Otherwise I better stay away from it... I have never faced a situation in my life where I thought that I should quit coz I picked up smoking only coz before I felt leftout among people.. And I have my mind straight to only smoke when between people... Nothing's wrong with that, wht u think???

I help people quit smoking (as long as they really wanted to quit) by using hypnosis. I have helped many people to quit smoking and they had no after effects of craving to smoke any more. The big thing is that the person really has to want to quit and he/she has to trust the hypnotist cannot make a person do anything while under hypnosis that they would not do while awake. As a hypnotist I do not make them do anything but rather they are doing these things on their own with my suggesting then (usually things that they have told me to suggest). So you might wish to contact a hypnotist to help you with these cravings.

Thank you for the advice, you know i prefer to test my power of will. And you know on the sixth day of not smoking the urge is starting to disappear. And i am happy with it because it is really serious stuff if you are addicted you definitely need to quit some day or the consequences might be inevitable.
