Greetings, Earthlings...
I got off the Methadone program about four weeks ago, and I feel fine. I have no cravings and if I feel overwhelming anxiety I simply take Kava Kava, only natural herbal remedies for me. I also take Melatonin (a natural hormone) to help me sleep.
Cheers,
Deirdre
I need help in quitting smoking. Does anyone have any advice other than nictone-based aids?

Deidra...so happy for you. So, you're not on methadone either? You're off of everything? So awesome. Are you going to meetings, or what?
I suck at quiting smoking so I'm not going to be much help there. Try the nicotine board...
Nice to see you back.

Deirdre, How are you? I am glad to see you post. I have thought of you often. The smoking thing I can't help you with still smoking a pack a day myself. Shantel
Congradulations, Deirdre!!
What a nice surprise to see you here and even better that you're doing so well!
I can't help you with smoking at all as I'm still puffing away. I wish you luck, though!
xxxxxoooo

Thanks, guys...
I feel so much more clear-headed. I still have difficulty sleeping, though I am taking herbal remedies, such as Melotonin and Kava Kava. I have awful dreams relating to being molested and raped at the age of twenty-six. I guess losing sleep beats being in active addiction. Lisa, no I don't go to meetings, because I find that they are trigger. I hope you are all doing well. I am down to five cigarettes a day.
Love,
Deirdre

D,
Some people have used filters that you add to your cigarettes. They gradually cut back the amount of nicotine you are taking in. I think the last filter cuts out 90% of what goes into your lungs? Of course, you have to make sure you don't smoke more cigs. to compensate. Kerry is trying hypnosis. Those are the only natural options I can think of.
I've known several people who have tried acupuncture without success. From that, I have the opinion that it may work to help with cravings after the fact, but not so much as an actual stop smoking method.
Good luck and congrats on your clean time.
