Suggest A Suitable Way To Quit Smoking?
Drugs like bupropion and counselling will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
Medicines like bupropion and others will help in decreasing craving for the same
But, medicine alone is not sufficient. The following techniques work for our clients
1. List the techniques and methods that have worked even for few days and analyse them and then refine and follow them
2. List methods or situations that had forced to re-take smoking. Find an alternative solution of those events / situations by "problem solving strategy"
3. Taking Nicotine chewing gum whenever you have craving
4. Count backwards from 500 -3, whenever you have craving
These are many more techniques. Which technique will suit you will actually depend upon detailed history
Do you take any other drugs ?
Hope this helps. Good luck

O.K, Thank you
In addition to our previous discussions and suggestions, it is important to be in regular follow up with a counsellor / psychiatrist
Sometimes, it becomes difficult to quit. But persistent effort in a technical manner brings success, as I have seen in my clinical experience
I am sure you should be able to quit, because your motivation seems to be strong
Wish you all the best
