Should I quit now
Should I quit now
Hi,'
My therapist has advised me to not quit smoking at this time. Her reason is because I have untreated depression, anxiety and D.I.D. If you had to rate my day to day stress on a scale of 10 it would be 8 or 9 usually. I have a multitude of physical problems that cause me great pain including fibromyalgia. I have no support network but I did join a nicotine support group. Do you think it is unrealistic for me to try to quit right now with all of this or should I wait until life calms down. I do want to quit I just don't know when. I quit often with the longest being 3 days but my problems sends me back to the pack

Hi, I am not sure what D.I.D. is but I know hypnosis helps with smoking. Most of my clients quit after 1 session sometimes 2 and they stay nicotine free for many years. Some do have relapses and then they come in for a tune up. Since hypnosis helps so much with anxiety and stress it can only be a good thing in the long run!I recommend relaxation or hypnosis mp3's or CD's on a daily basis to help with the anxiety. Good luck~ Mariah

Re: Should I quit now
I hope you've had some success with your efforts. I too had therapists tell me this was the least of my problems and not to worry about it yet. But in September I made a real effort with the patch. It didn't work, but I'm not going to give up trying. I think when I have a good long streak I'll make it.

Hey, I think you have problem with smoking only as your therapist has said and have suggested you, quit smoking and then definitely you will feel good. It is all just because of smoking. It is the main cause of destruction.
