Well..i will start with what worked for me...what i did was get involved in activities that will cut down on these excesses. You are not going stop all of a sudden but you will cut down and gradually stop. Register at a gym..or take long walks or jog..register for an exam..cut down on visiting your regular smoke or drinks spots. Change your bedsheets, pillow cases...drink a lot of water between, visit the dentist and clean your teeth. for a fresh start. |

What you should stop is the cigarette and drinking because they don't add anything to you. They don't help in your coordination, they wont help you think about taking steps to better yourself. When you get high on them, you tend to misbehave, but saying you stopped weed 2 years ago... why? What wrong has weed done to you? Guy... do well abeg. |

Am so glad to hear that. It takes a strong determination and self discipline to overcome that. First of all, you have to allow Christ live in you. Get the full understanding of how harmful those stuffs are.(they are completely bad). After having that understanding, be determined in your heart that you will stop taking this harmful things and discipline yourself. The truth of it is that flesh will surely arise(you will feel like taking in those bad things), and you can't overcome flesh by yourself. you need God to help you overcome it through the Holy spirit. And you can only have the Holy Spirit(Who will lead, guide, direct you) by been born again(confessing your sins to God and believing and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour), pray concerning it, attend a living church and make friend with Godly people. God will surely hear you prayers, he is a good father. That is the bitter truth my brother. No one can change you except God, run to him now..... |

GeemarxWorld: Avoid anything related to smoking friends, events and even situations that trigger the need to smoke. Find something to occupy. Two years ago I used smoke a pack of cigarettes back in Mauritius because it was mad cold. When I came back I still smoked I can tell you that's it's been a year since I last smoked cigarette. However I just stopped the frequency and work got me too busy. Engage in some healthy engaging activity |

By admitting you have a problem, half of it is solved. You now focus on the remaining half. I will advise you withdraw gradually and with determination, consistency and discipline you will succeed. Start with cigarette: for a start smoke only at home, but keep only a few sticks and restrict yourself only to those. Gradually reduce the number you keep at home and later stop keeping any at all. This way I think is more realistic and will prevent a relapse. Give yourself a realistic time frame to ditch the habit for good. Do the same for alcohol. Once you have weaned yourself try to avoid places like clubs or bad company where you will be tempted to resume the habit, even for once. You can also try replacing bad with good. When you feel a crave for cigarette or drink do something worthwhile instead like taking healthy fruit juice or yoghurt, or even just listening to music. Good luck. |

It all starts with knowing that you needed to stop these 'bad' habit. Well you didnot state your religion (yes it matters) anyway, it is said that birds of same feather flocks together, if you really desire this change in your life, then you must separate from friends that indulge in this act and to help you better, you must befriend those that don't indulge in this act and WILL be happy to see you CHANGE. Futhermore, am not in any way claiming that am Holy-er Than thee, but i would love to guide you in a way where we could have a sincere daily report system (maybe via facebook, whatapp or any convenient social media) for probably a month. That way you will be challenge to work hard; it is adding value to the process (what you don't value you can't get the virtue therein). My contact is 08023278405. God bless you Sir. |

There are two types of people in this world, those who can do anything they want to, and those who can do nothing unless it is given to them on a platter. Be the first. Forget about the advices on 'stopping gradually', or avoiding 'smoker' friends, or not going to places of 'temptation' and all that nonsense. It does not work. The only way to stop is to just stop. Make a promise to yourself that no cigarette or alcohol is going through your lips, and keep your promise. Finish. Nothing else works. And remember that a relapsed smoker finds it more difficult to stop after multiple attempts, so get it right the first time, or leave the attempt until you are convinced that you really want to stop. PS, I am speaking from experience, I went from 3 packs a day to zero in 60 seconds. There was also no type of drink I did not put in my mouth, you name it. And today, I am a complete non smoker, and tee totaller. As far as I know, the day, date, and time are still written on the wall of my room in the dorm, years and years ago. It's your call, and yours alone. |

Just to point out that drinking and smoking is not a measure of responsibility or otherwise. There are loads of people who do both (including myself), and we certainly don't consider ourselves irresponsible. I live outside Nigeria anyway, away from all the judgemental mofos in Nigeria. |

Use to smoke my ass off with codeine syrup and weed with different tablets.... I was that drug boy buh Only through Christ I was able abstain. To stop you have to abstain from sin and accept christ as your savior honestly that's the only way. Cause when you tell people you have accepted christ, all negative people around you will run away from you its not them buh the devil in them...... |

dabrightt:Who made any one of them "man of god"? Where u there when God so proclaimed any one of them? Since u werent and there is no such evidence,u do not av a say in this matter.The only true men of God were evidently so proclaimed in the bible,any other person,except the Pope,head of the Anglican and Baptist churches and their personally ordained officers,is subject of debate. Obviously true men of God dont obviously indulge in many of the false things some in Nigeria do. Av u ever heard the pope,head of anglican or Baptist churches come out to give a prophesy or indulge in the public charade of d drama of healing a sick person with a 1 minute prayer and touch of d body? |

As some have said, there's a stage where addiction can be controlled and when it cannot be controlled,when a smoker or a drinker is in the first and second stage it can still be stoped by the sufferer,when the individual enters the dependence stage,stoping is almost not possible.Thier maybe withdrawal symptoms if the individual cant have the drugs to take in time,This withdrawal symptoms is one of the reasons that drug abusers will do anything to get the drug,cx without the drug,he will be sick.The individuals brain has already seen the drug as part of the persons system,sudden withdrawal may lead to death. I still dont knw when we Africans will grow, what does pastors and clerics have to do with this? This is purely a psychological problem, a mental health problem. My AdVICE Stop going to clubs if you do before Hang out with religious friends that see smoking and drinking very irritating and such you may develop shame, and the shame may help in strengthning your desire to stop the drugs See a psychologist that is in such field Make friends with people that will love to see you stop smoking, Friends that will be there for you, you can start with your mum Theres a group online you may join,cant remember the name right now Try to do what we call Elimination by Substitution,This is when you look for something less health h to replace more health disastrous habit.Some people use Tomtom,start by reducing your cigarettes sticks,for instance you take 10sticks perday before,now take five cigarettes sticks and five or more Tomtoms. For more tips,nd better advic,pls pm me, nd let me help you more the little I can.Thanks |

Only you can decide to quit no one else can do it for you. Just think of when you will be up to 50yrs old when you are supposed to be enjoying your money u will be spending that money on hospital bills. With this in mind it help you quit. No amount of pastor prayers can help u quit but only u can advice yourself and quit |

All were helped quickly with natural health products with no dide effects. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. This is what happened to me personally after suffering for years.

Congratulations bro. You have passed the first level which is realising that it's a habit you need to stop. Now the next step is to take action. I would have recommended a counselor but in our society right here our pastor already plays that role. So talk to your pastor. Tell all your friends that you want to stop so that they can assist you in any way possible. Then lastly, attend mountain of fire deliverance program. Yes I said it. I don't attend the church but I attended their deliverance program by recommendation and I was able to overcome a very nasty habit I felt I will grow old and die with. Now I am free. You will be free too by God's Grace 1 Like |

Sup bro, I hope the little i will post here would help out a bit. 1) u need to b mentally prepared... I see u are, that's why it bothers you. But its going to require more than just your mind. You will have to exercise the strongest self discipline you have ever have to exercise. 2) dont be too hard on yourself because in all honesty, since you are a chronic addict, it would take you a very long while to be fully unaddicted.. A year, 2 years, few months, etc (this will depend on your self discount & mind as mentioned above). 3) cigarette is tobacco and contains nicotine which is very very very addictive.... Unlike weed (thats why it wqs easier for you to quite weed). Now due to the nicotine addiction, you are advised not to just stop abruptly as this would lead to withdrawal symptoms in you body system which could be dangerous to your health or might result to a positive feedback mechanism that you end up making you more addicted than you were before. You could start by reducing the number of sticks you usually take per day.. (lets say if in a day u are liable to 10sticks, try making it 8 or 7sticks). Continue like that.... Maybe you keep reducing the number of sticks after 3weeks or a month (3 weeks should be the minimum as this is the proposed average amount of time that a habit is formed) but remember it still depends on self description & mindset. However, dont be too hard on your self 4) study your smoking pattern & habit.... So you could understand how to channel the inner energy pr impulse that leads you to smoke into something positive (eg, when you have reduced the amount of sticks to maybe 4, the urges to smoke more than that four would be there and its goin to be a really really strong urge, so you have to channel that urge to something positive that u like doin... Maybe be writing short notes on how you feeling with the urge and how you are fighting it... You could always read these short notes at the end of everyweek to see the progress you made over the week and also serves as an encouragement to keep fighting. Or you could channel that urge anytime it comes to exercising eg push up, crunches, skipping, stretches joggin, football, basketball, swimming, depending on the one you love and the environment you are in. 5) one other effective way to quickly remove nicotine from your system (because it is the presence of that nicotine that keeps you addicted) is to go and register at a sauna(a place whr they do massages with hot air, hot water, etc....) the sauna will make you sweat and through the sweating, the nicotine escapes your body system.... You could also engage in exercises that makes you sweat profusely (running, football, basketball, skipping, etc) for the same effect too. 6) try and neutralise the stagnant smell of cigarette on your clothes and room or anything relating to you because perceiving them through your clothes alone will trigger your urges which may hamper your progress from the chains of addiction. Also avoid places where you may perceive cigarettes smokes (eg bars, clubs, etc) as this will surely lead you back into temptation) I wish i could keep going in but my fingers are tired from punching my phone screens... You could reach m on twitter though at @thatcbnguy . Send me a DM there so we cud continue. But if you can keep up with the above 6 points then in more or less a year, you should be a free man. Godspeed bro!!! |
