It's easy bro, just research what the withdrawal symptoms are then treat them after a month you should be free depending on how long you've been into smoking sha, there are over the counter drugs to help you out but you have to take it as directed to avoid addiction again.I think a Google search would do.have it at the back of your mind that it's worth it and be focused. God help you |

Try fasting and prayer. A serious seven days dry fast and deliverance prayers will give a deadly blow to these habits. |

GeemarxWorld: Thee first step is identifying the problem which you have done, the next step is eradicating the problem which I will offer a bit of advice on. I used to be a chronic smoker so I can relate with most of what you have written, however the difference was that because I had to be at work all day I didn't usually smoke during the day, only in the evenings when I left work, trust me that didn't stop me from doing almost a packet everyday. Forget what anyone tells u about weaning, it doesn't work. Your best approach to stopping is to going cold turkey if u can, list the negative effects smoking has on you as opposed to non smoking, that way you will be able to see that smoking is spiralling ur health into deterioration, that way u will have a need to stop it. Also do not hang out with smokers during ur resolution period and also throw away all your smoking materials from cig packs, lighters anything that reminds u of smoking, it won't be easy at first, but u will have to be determined, determination will eventually pay off. But expect sleepless nights and crazy cravings, if u can surpass all this you will be fine. |

The easiest way for you is to move away from those circle of friends you smoke and drink with. If you can do this your issue is almost solved |

YeyeGirl:Well, they include but not limited to difficulty concentrating, nervousness, headaches, weight gain due to increased appetite, decreased heart rate, difficulty in sleeping (insomnia) ,highly irritable , depression. These symptoms are more pronounced in the first few days but eventually disappear within a month. Supportive care can be given to ameliorate these symptoms such that the person goes through a seamless transition |

sapiosexual1:Op this is the best advice for you.I stop smoking last year because of the pressure coming from my family,friends and my boss.I did almost everything this writer suggested except the nicotine patch or gum.The most important thing for you right now is to stay away from your bad friends(co smokers),pray always and have a solid mental determination.Cultivate the habit of drinking soda water e.g Nirvana soda water etc.Make sure you are always happy no matter what you are going through and shun excessive thinking and anger.May God help us all in this struggle#Smokers are liable to die young#No to smoking#No to drug abuse 1 Like 1 Share |

Great!!! I will share steps of the life changing steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) - You should try them - that I found in a book (Steps of Transformation) I am reading and it would do you good to adhere to them. "The story of the first members of AA is so intriguing that it deserves closer attention. It all started to get better from the condition of alcoholism that was destroying them. Having been abandoned to their fate by the medical profession, and tolerated at best by those who loved them most, these men adopted a course of action which is not only allowed them to stop drinking (one day at a time), but also allowed them to grow spiritually, and to regain something of the dignity and purpose of life of which their illness had robbed them. One of the men, known in the world of recovery as "Bill W" wrote down the basic pattern of what they had done. Actually, by the time he wrote the story down, the two men had been joined in recovery by a good number of others, both men and women, all whom had, at one time or another been written off by the rest of the world as hopeless alcoholics. In examining what Bill W. wrote, there are some surprises. Anyone who expects to find a list of ways to stop drinking is going to be very disappointed. This is how the program appears in "How it Works" Chapter 5 of AA. Here are the steps we took, which are a suggested program of recovery: 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol--that our lives had become unmanageable 2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. We are entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. |

YeyeGirl:Is it just the nicotine he is withdrawing from? Those symptoms are more in keeping with withdrawal from other substances like alcohol and hard drugs. Yes he would be ok, with proper care |
Re: Help, I Want To Stop Drinking And Smoking Of Cigarettes by jeffronald19(m): 6:38am On Dec 02, 2016 |
Get rid of all addictive substances in the house. Trash anything that reminds you of smoking or drinking. Avoid places where people smoke or drink. Take a break from people who regularly drink/smoke. Avoid high risk situations. |

In my experience reasons for quiting varies. But, don't try to quit on any special occasion like, new year day, your birthday or the like this brings added pressure. I don't even have the date i finally stopped, all i know it was 2007, that is after hundreds of New Year resolutions that didn't work. Why i tend to gravitate towards it being the grace of God, at least in my own case. Good luck. |

Nigerians and prayers are like pap and akara, how we manage to paint every situation in religious colours is beyond me. That's why our pastors are the richest in per capita income while ardent church goers are the poorest in standard of living. If another poster comes here to say he just got HIV, someone would still advocate 21days dry fasting. |
