Stopping smoking
« on: May 22, 2022, 05:56:08 am »
Time to stop smoking! I think it may be slowing my healing, blood circulation is an important part in it as we all know. It wasn't going to happen until now, things were too rough. But I think it's time.

I've just spent a load of money on vaping products, and it's ok actually. But it's still not exactly healthy, and some research shows it effects the vascular system too.

I've been smoking far too long, 34 years I think. Always say I'll stop soon, well soon is now here!

Compared to BWD it should be a breeze to just stop, and I'm probably over thinking it as I tend to do. I was just wondering what other people have done, I read "the easy way" years ago and just carried on.

It was then east way for me, but I had to purchase the audios book and brainwash myself with it plying it several times a day all day long.  The book was more like an additional manual...also, I would sit a read the pages while the narrator was speaking. 
I can't believe it but it did work and I found it to be the good, ugly truth about smoking.

I quit 19 days ago. I didn't see improvement, anxiety just worse, I hope it will be better and that I didn't stop for no reason.
Does it really affect healing?
Do what you feel is best for you, take it easy.

I've got the audiobook actually, I may try that approach and just put it on repeat  :D

I don't know specifically for Benzo healing, but it effects the bodies ability to heal in general. Poor circulation for a start would slow things down as your brain/CNS isn't getting as much blood, oxygen and nutrients as it would normally. I think it makes sense to stop, although when I have tried in the past I did suffer a little for it.

Hopefully you'll settle down soon

All the best to you [...].  I've heard several people say they quit smoking using Allen Carr's Easy Way book.  Listening to his book about alcohol helped me quit drinking.

Well I've still got a few packets of Duty Free as I flew last week, so not that well lol. Been listening to the easy way again, once these last 4 packets have gone I'll stop.

Just have will to do it, if you decide to. I don't see improvements in healing since I quit.
