Quit Smoking Now Forever

Archive for February, 2010

Hi! After 5 years of smoking (am 25 male), finally quit cold turkey and started hitting the gym and jogging. After a the first couple hundred meters jogging at the tartan track, my breathing becomes unregular and agitated– is there a way to bring it to normal again? (while jogging) or should I just stop and call it a run?

Thanks a lot.

This program works wonders, once completed you have a strong foundation, you can branch off into whatever style you want: sprinting, endurance, hurdles. I got to 25 minutes straight, but then I hurt my knee.

I use hypnosis and acupuncture when working with people. I have found that although both work well with smoking, hypnosis is very good for helping you access the part of the mind that will allow you to overcome the habitual thought patterns of smoking where acupuncture appears to be more useful for the physical process of withdrawal. It may be best to use a combination of both. As for the person that wrote about acupuncture piercing the wrong nerve, they unfortunately know nothing about acupuncture. You do not pierce nerves in acupuncture. So please don’t listen to the myth makers who answer nonsensically just to get their 1 point.

At the end of January I quit smoking and have recentally decided to start going to the gym and to get fit!
I thought before I hit the gym I’ll go for a run in the park to see how far I can run and to test my general health. I started running and got about 200 meters at a steady jogging pase when I had to stop. My throat was hurting like crazy, it felt really tight and there was a throbbing pain at the bottom of my throat (just above my collarbone.) I also felt a little dizzy and as though i was going to throw up.
I carried on walking and it took me about 30 minutes for it to stop, when i drank cold water it soothed my throat and eased it but surley it shouldn’t happen, I’ll make some exceptions as i’m an x smoker but I want to get away from all the unhealthy stuff and get fir and healthy, but I can’t go running again if this is going to happen everytime….i’ll never get further than 200 meters.

Please help as it’s really upsetting me that my body is stopping me from getting fit and healthy.
Over did it, seriously who can’t run 200 meters! Thats quite pathetic, I can feel that my throat still hurts now.

Hm.
If you think you have asthma, go see a doctor.

Otherwise, you can think of it this way: your body is "poisoned". You have to "detoxify" your body to get healthy, and to do that, you must exercise. Your body will naturally expel its "toxins" as it gets stronger. It doesn’t matter what kind of drugs or supplements you might take to counter this (not to mention the risk in taking stimulants); there are NO exceptions and you MUST exercise.

It’s likely that you’re feeling sick because your heart rate is going too high, or that it needs to be so high that your heart can’t keep up. That being said, the best way to get your body healthy again (other than having a healthy diet and quitting smoking) is to do cardiovascular exercise. A healthy amount is 30 minutes per day.

You’ll probably want to know how to optimize your results. In your current state, an ideal exercise -might- be walking, but you can get a good measure by following these steps:

Go to a gym, or wherever you can find a treadmill or a stationary bike that allows you to measure your heart rate. Do 30 minutes of cardio with your heart rate at 160-180 BPM (beats per minute) and get a good feel for it, so you can do it again without having to rely on equipment.

Here’s a very important fact that a lot of people choose to ignore: ANYTHING that gets your heart rate up to 160-180 BPM and keeps it there for at least 30 minutes is a good aerobic exercise. Anything else is NOT.

This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.

Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.

Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”

The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS

Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.

It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!

Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.

The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….

TO BE FREE!

What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?

The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.

The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.

No Gimmicks!

The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!

The Allen Carr Method is successful because:

It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.

Medical Endorsements

A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health

“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”

Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees

“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”

Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital

“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”

Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong

“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”

Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London

”…I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”

Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP

“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”

Celebrity Endorsements

"His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson

“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins

GOOD LUCK!
