Don’t get me wrong there are many other large steps along the way but this one is the most important.
Ok now if you are thinking well… do I really have a problem its only a bit of weed right. STOP right there! You do have a problem. Weed is a drug that is addictive and can mess up your mind.
Let me tell you a bit about my past before I ever dreamt of asking anyone how to quit smoking weed.
I was a heavy weed smoker. I was always the big guy like look at me look at how much I can smoke. I was the guy saying why is weed illegal, alcohol is way more dangerous than weed and that is legal. Weed is totally safe God made it right… (lol it must be safe then if God created it…).
I started when I was around 15 and smoked it until I was 25, so 10 years of abuse and by the time I finished I was a mess. Yes a mess and all from that great drug that your friends tell you is safe. Read the rest of this entry »
How to Stop Smoking in the Next 10 Minutes
Quitting smoking cold turkey is not easy. Trust me, I’ve been there, and like over 95% of smokers who want to quit, I failed in my first three attempts. But, you can quit smoking within the next 10 minutes with the right information, support system, and personal motivation.
Here are five tricks I used to quit smoking cold turkey:
1. While many smokers choose a gradual approach to smoking cessation and find comfort in using nicotine gum and patches, these methods would not work for me. The theory behind these methods is that you can retain the nicotine in your system while you learn to live without the physical act of smoking a cigarette. I learned the hard way that the patch and gum just prolonged my addiction to nicotine, making it very easy for me to fall back into the smoking habit. I had to swear off nicotine and cigarettes at the same time.
So, here’s the trick: Stop now, cold turkey, and immediately implement the following tricks in this article.
2. The second trick is to clearly define why you want to quit smoking. You need to reach the point where your motivation to quit smoking exceeds your desire to smoke. Generally, successful quitters can relate to quitting because of health concerns, pressure from family, friends and co-workers, or simply the need to stop spending so much money on a lousy habit.
When you can find and focus on the key reason why you want to stop smoking, you will be half way home. Read the rest of this entry »
How Does the Quit Smoking Laser Work?
Smoking is a health scourge. Millions of people have died as a result of this nasty habit, and most smokers are well aware of the health risks, but are trapped by their habit into continuing. If they could, most smokers would choose to quit, but a nicotine addiction is a hard habit to kick, especially if you’ve smoked for decades.
As a result, most smokers seek some kind of aid in order to quit. This may include nicotine gum, nicotine patches or the quit smoking laser. But how can a laser help someone to quit smoking?
How it works
The quit smoking laser is supposed to work in the same way that acupuncture works, without the needles. By using a low grade laser, which is aimed at acupuncture points, the doctor will stimulate the nerve endings in those regions. This in turn is supposed to release endorphins into your body, which will help relieve the stress that is associated with nicotine withdrawal.
Laser treatment is often coupled with counselling, in a two pronged approach to quit smoking. Some laser treatment centers say that the laser treatment will only take one session of 30 minutes in order to work, while others say it will take up to three sessions.
The quit smoking laser will not harm you, and most laser treatment centers say that the treatment actually promotes a feeling of well-being. In some cases, you may experience a slight bit of dizziness or light-headedness, which quickly fades.
But does it work?
This is a sticky point. Laser treatment centers say that they have close to a 90% success rate. But many people will argue that of course they will say that. After all, they’re out to sell you their services. Read the rest of this entry »
