Ex smokers ?

Question

I am a smoker, but want a baby so ive decided I will stop smoking the first day of my cycle next cycle. 
Last time i stopped smoking for 3 days and in that time i went mental, i couldnt stop crying or thinking about a cigarettes i was really nasty toward my partner and i was just wondering if anyone else has quit? 
How did you do it? Did you use anything specific to help you?

Answer

Chantix worked for me. You need an rx from your dr. But it really helps.

Answer

My husband and I quit cold turkey. It really helped having him quit with me. 
I believe it takes 72 hours for the nicotine to flush out of your system. So those are the worst days when quitting. After that it's mostly all mental. Find a different habit to take over. Make an effort to change your routine and stay away from places that you usually smoke. I chewed a lot of gum, and those dumdum suckers are really good too.

Good luck, I think your reason for quitting will help you too. Keep that future baby on your mind. You don't want to go through those withdrawals during your pregnancy.

Answer

I have quit for 1 year now I wasn't much of a smoker anyways I was more of sasocial smoker. When I was going out with the girls or sitting in the sun drinking coffee. 
Now I'm ttc baby #2 I stopped straight away. My SO hated me doing it and said to me 'look you can't so it anymore if we want to take this seriously you have to stop' and from that day on I stopped I never used anything it was just the words of wisdom from my SO. 
Now it doesn't bother me, I can be around people who are smoking and I don't even he an erg to have one .

Best of luck to you

Answer

Start by breaking your smoking habits. If you light up every time you get in the car, start sucking on a lollipop instead. Light up after every meal? Go for a walk or immediately do the dishes instead. Physically the bodies addiction to nicotine doesn't last long, it's the habits you've developed that are tough to break. Also, mark your milestones. There are HUGE internal benefits that start within the first few hours of quitting. For example, after 12 hours without a cigarette your blood oxygen levels return to normal. And the Internet is your friend! There's lots of resources out there!

Answer

I just focused on getting through the next hour without a cigarette and told myself I could have one at the end of that hour. Once I got through that hour, I thought 'that wasn't so bad-why don't I get through another hour, and then I can have one'. It broke it down so it wasn't daunting and scary. Good luck 😀

Answer

It's been 7 yrs since I quit. I stopped cold turkey. Every time I wanted a cigarette I chewed gum.  I tried a few times and went back. You have to really want to stop, so I just kept telling myself I have to do this.

Answer

I quit when I got pregnant the smell made me so sick it was easy not to want it anymore

Answer

Another method. . put every single empty box in a clear plastic box and watch it pile up. When the pile is huge or the box is full figure out the math on how much money all those empty boxes put u back.

Answer

Weird method... I decided people can train the way their brain thinks...you can hate carrots but convince your brain they are good for you so teach your brain to learn to love them. Ok so with smoking...just try to think thru the brain (see through of the eyes) of someone who has never smoked in their life. Who thinks it is disgusting and the smell makes you gag. Ew. Smoking? Trashy. Smells awful, must taste awful... Maybe eventually your brain will actually BELIEVE these thoughts and you will find yourself really finding the smell disgusting.
