(Concern) I want to quit smoking, but is there a definitive way to do it?
I have been smoking for 16 years.
Initially out of curiosity, now like a habit
I think of smoking as the only joy in my life.
When experiencing severe stress
When you're in a good mood
After eating rice
When going to the bathroom
During break time at work
Since I habitually smoked like this, I rarely thought about quitting.
Once, I thought about quitting because I felt it was a waste of money.
I informed my acquaintances around me that I will quit smoking.
And I cut up all the cigarettes I had with scissors.
It has been 30 days since I quit smoking.
I believed I could succeed.
But this was a big misunderstanding.
I experienced stress at work but endured it patiently.
At that time, my partner was stressing me out.
In the end, what I had endured for 30 days was all for nothing.
Having smoked continuously like that
In November of last year, I decided to quit smoking and switch to electronic cigarettes.
The reason is that the smell was strong, and I was planning to gradually quit by switching to an electronic cigarette.
No matter how intoxicated I get from alcohol since November of last year until now
I really wanted to smoke a cigarette at the beginning of the year, but I replaced it with an electronic cigarette without touching a real one.
However....
Electronic cigarettes only don't have a smell, but they are just as bad for your health.
So, I'm also trying to quit electronic cigarettes now.
Two weeks ago, I decided to be brave and not buy cigarettes at all, really trying not to smoke.
I endured for 12 hours, promising myself to try quitting smoking.
It's only been 12 hours, but I feel so suffocated and my mood keeps fluctuating.
I think I have a headache too, and I smoked a cigarette out of habit.
I felt a kind of dizziness and confusion as it disappeared.
Eventually, feeling sensitive, I had an argument with my husband before going to sleep.
I went outside as it was and bought cigarettes at the convenience store.
As soon as I started smoking, my mind came back to me.
Ah... this is it, and it made me feel at ease.
I haven't been able to quit since then.
I usually try to refrain from smoking when I work...
Even as I write this, I feel like smoking a cigarette.
Can I really quit smoking?
I'm not confident.
It's not just about money; I'm also coughing up a lot of phlegm and can feel my skin gradually rotting away.
Looking at the physical changes after quitting smoking, I really want to quit.
I'm upset because this doesn't go the way I want.
I feel extremely uncomfortable, angry, and mentally unstable if I don't smoke.
For your reference, I also received help from the public health center.
I have also reduced my alcohol consumption significantly to avoid thinking about the beginning of the year.
However, the public health center doesn't seem to be helpful at all...
I tried using nicotine patches and chewing nicotine gum, but they didn't really work.
Are there any people who have quit smoking?
How on earth can I completely quit?
I'm seriously 고민돼서 posting this 글
I really want to quit smoking within this year...
If you have any information that helps with quitting smoking or know people around you who have quit, please share.ㅠㅠ
