Any One Have Tips On Reducing Cravings When You Quit Smoking?
I have COPD and just came home from the hospital yesterday. I haven’t smoked since Monday and I desperately want to succeed in quitting! I was sent home on oxygen. Thanks in advance.
Just think of the grand kids, your doing it to be with them.
Honestly I used to just contemplate what smoking had done for me then I’d hate it way to bad to do it again
DBradford - If you have a relapse do not give up, keep trying. Took me a few tries to stop. I believe it was Mark Twain who said, "Quitting smoking was easy, I did it hundreds of times."
If you havent smoked since Monday, great. It is tough, but doable (is that a word?).
Besides determination, my crutch was nicotine lozengenes. I kept some in a small cup by my computer.. When I had a craving I took one and let it dissolve. Went through many losengene packages. My wife and I both did this after our daughter's wedding (2007), just after i was diagnosed with COPD, Later diagnosed as emphyzema and on supplemental oxygen on as needed basis. Had my first major exacerbation March 2023 (6 days in hospital); now on O2 full time since.
Think that every single seconds, minutes, hours, days smoke free take you to real freedom, control, better health and the best version of yourself! 😘
