I have bad habits to keep smoking ciggy !!! i really need to quit !! but coullldddn'''tttt damn it !! what about u ?

Am trying to quit drinking coffee every morning but I cannot get over with it. I didn't have that habit til I enrolled in a graduate school.

But, I had to praise myself that I am improving with my coffee-drinking habit as I reduced it to a cup a day lately. When I was in graduate school, studying and attending classes, I drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day to keep myself in focus and destress myself. I depend coffee for my focus in school. Plus, smoking a cigarette a day during class breaks at school but I don't smoke anymore right now.

Cut down one cigarette for a couple weeks, then cut down one more and so on?

I have nail-biting habits, but I have improved by doing that less now..

already tried that method !! and still not work !!! only one thing in my mind what if there is a place that ban ciggy in anywhere in the sight like 7-11 or gas station or liqour or varies location that don't sell ciggy and nobody smoke in the public then it would have help me out to quit for sure ... but no luck for that since it is everywehre !!!

Teekie · 04-18-2003, 01:14 PM

Oh, hmm.. I dont know

I don't smoke myself..

Teekie -- ive attempted all avenues of trying to quit smoking myself and nothing has succeeded so far -- gum, quit cold turkey and etc -- i have not yet tried the patch thingie but ahhhh mom is a smoker and shes tried the patch (as did my dad prior to his death) and both have had rash no matter where they have put the patch so that makes me a bit leery abt trying out the patch -- its VERYYYYY *hard* to quit especially when someone has started while still a teen (i started smoking age 14 and im now 34 yikes) -- if u come up with other suggestions -- feel free to let me know LOL im open to all sorts of suggestions!

3 years old? I hope you meant 13

Fly Free- Yeah, it looks like its hard for those who smokes to quit.. My mom has been smoking since she was a teen herself--She still does and shes in her 40's, unfortunately she's developing something in her lungs because she coughs often, even over the phone..

My stepdad used to smoke, he quit, I'd have to ask him how he was able to succeed into quitting for good..

thats true they WILL find ways to get cigs even paying an adult to go buy them cigs -- but in the end their cigs will be confisciated in time either by parents or the cops if caught in possession of cigs on school property (and YES they would be HAULED to the station for booking and charged with possession of cigs

a bit extreme if u ask me but ahh the voters went for it)

Why is it so hard to break a habit?

I'd say it is the security. We feel safe when we have established a pattern, which may be associated from something positive or negative that occurred in childhood. Now just deprogram yourself... lol... negative reinforcement and all. I saw this show once on this OCD stuff... when this lady was a little girl, she picked a hair strand off her head and everyone in class was very impressed with her. She associated that feeling good with the hair picking habit... this followed her into adulthood, and I could see she had bald spots.. it wasn't pretty. Had to wear a wig.

Let's say.... you want to quit smoking? I did it cold turkey, and would reward myself every day I was off the cigs. Positive reinforcement.. and I looked at disgusting pictures of what would happen with prolonged smoking... black lungs and all! I mixed in negative reinforcement with the positive reinforcement, and that worked for me. Just popped in Advils for those headaches... and I don't miss those cigs even today.

Eh, it's totally up to you, though... either stay in your old pattern, or break it consciously.. healthy, gradually, or so..
