I just want to add something else @mm34 This, I believe was my first post that I made on here, way back on May 21, 2023.
"I am a new member and trying to wean myself off of smoking, (2nd time trying to quit...first time, back in 2009 I quit for 6 years but then went back). I have been a 3/4 pack a day smoker and I have been weaning myself off for the past 2-3 weeks. As of now, I'm smoking 1-2 cigs a day and it's very difficult because of the physical cravings. I'm very irritable and it's just so hard this time. Last time I used Chantix and it was very easy, this time doing the weaning method and it's not easy at all! Any advice? I would greatly appreciate it. What do you do to get rid of the physical urges?"
This was the first response I got regarding the "weaning method", compliments of @johnny5, thanks Johnny!!!!
"As long as you continue to smoke, even one or two a day, the cravings will continue. I have attempted the weaning method and really struggled. Not only did smoking a small number of cigarettes a day keep the physical addiction alive, I realized that I was thinking of smoking that cigarette as a reward for going several hours smoke free a day. That really hurts both physically and psychologically."
He is SO RIGHT!!, @mm34, I hope you come back so we can help you!!
