Repent. This is the most you can do. Remember Jesus died for our sins. \n\nThe next time you feel the urge to do it again, pray to the Lord Jesus Christ,"Please help me not to fall into such temptations again Lord, amen". I believe that the our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ will forgive you. But you must remember not to do it again, for in one of the scriptures, it says, "Sin no more or you shall perish, without remedy"(Something like that)\n\nI will pray for you and at the same time, you must believe you can curb this addiction. \n\nGod Bless

Set a time limit for being online. Then, read a book; put a puzzle together; write a letter (on paper with a pen/pencil) (GASP), find someplace local to volunteer, learn to cook (or if you know how already, cook), and then there's the always famous, if you're really bored and tempted by the internet; CLEAN YOUR ROOM. Ha ha! Hope this helps, I also have a 13 yr old, his addiction is video games. Good luck!

hey man there aint no easy way. i smoked for ten years and am quit for a year now.  first you have to do it cold turky. no cutting down patch gum or anything. do it only when ur the most motivated and determined. then use all the will power that you have to not take even a hit off another cig, when cravings start chew gum, and work out. If you run it out that works vary well also, just keep yourself busy and you will notice in a few weeks the cravings will start to go away. just remember the key is cold turky if you put nicoteen in your body in any way you will fail its inevitable. remember dieng of lung cancer will suck, good luck.   -clokey

Lots of people swear by lots of things...the patch, hypnotism, etc.  I think cutting back is good, because your aren't obligating yourself to quit completely and immediately.  Things like lollipops can preoccupy you from smoking and help the "hand-to-mouth" addiction, I also recommend picking up mint toothpicks (little travel packs are available at health foods stores.)  Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor, either...he/she will probably be able to give you lots of excellent advice.  GOOD LUCK!

Cold turkey is the only way.  Cigarettes have been proven to be more addictive than heroine but you can quit.  I did--10 years ago after smoking for 26 years and my husband also did after smoking for 34 years.  For me, I realized that I was more addicted to the oral fixation part.  I simply quit lighting the cigarettes.  This way, I could go through the motions of smoking (holding, puffing, flicking pretend ashes and blowing no smoke out) and still get rid of the addiction.  It was weird in a way because people would ask me if I needed a light and I would say, "No thanks, I don't smoke." even though I had the cigarette in my hand.  It took a year (the carton lasted that long) but I have no desire to smoke anymore.  My husband, on the other hand, went to a religious convention one weekend and purposely left his cigarettes at home.  He never smoked again.\n\nWhich brings me to a second point--it really helps to be seriously motivated and include prayer in your struggle.  Both of us did this and feel it would have been much harder (maybe impossible) if we hadn't.

I have been in recovery for 2yrs and I am here to tell you that there is no easy way out. Find a 12step program to get some support and then tough it out with medical supervision. Valium is just another form of what you are addicted to. You aren't really accomplishing anything by switching addictions. Check out the website below to find help in your area, it can get better! I am living proof!

Fight fire with fire bud. I go out skating 'til I break. If you don't skate start, or just find some other intense physical activity that takes all your concetration. Use your body to keep your mind busy. It's like a vaccum cleaner for your mind. Just make sure you're to tired to stand by the end of the day and you'll slide off to sleep just fine.\nIf you're having trouble kicking dope at the same time I recommend benadryl. It'll keep your nose from running and takes a bit of the edge off without continuing the dependence that you're trying to break like the phamacutical salesmans dream methadone.

The first step is recognizing that you're addicted.\nNow you have to watch your behavior. What provokes you (what pushes your buttons) so that you do whatever it is you're addicted to?  \nAnd what do you get out of your addiction? We don't do anything if we don't get something out of it.\nYou didn't say what your addiction is.  You might want to see a CDAC-a certified Drug and Addiction Counselor.  Even if it's not drugs or alcohol, these people can really help. I went to one for 11 months for eating.  Although I still don't feel like I have an eating addiction, she did show me ways I use food inappropriately.

You are not physically addicted to it--so there is no reason for a rehab.  You are mentally addicted to the stimulant effects, the best thing to do is to ween yourself off of it slowly.  Cut back the amount of times you smoke during the day. It will be a slow process but in a matter of months you should ween yourself of totally.  Also find some form of exercise to replace the feeling.

You know its time for a change.  You can't just change this habit.  Its about how you are going to deal with the stress that comes up in your life.  You got to face your problems without running to some instant fix.  *the cigarette*  \n\nSecond, you got to take a proven route.  Look up Smoker annoyomous in your area.  Take the patch or gum.  You need someone that will support you in your tough times.  Maybe someone who also stopped.   When your tempted, remind yourself about the things  you hate about smoking.  So expensive.  The bad lungs.  Whatever reason you want to stop.  Remember it when your tempted
