COPD and Can’t Commit to Quitting Smoking

Yes, I am going through the same thing. Sometimes the withdrawal is intense more of a physical thing. Getting light headed etc. I just started a pulmonary rehab. It’s hard when you live with smokers. I live in Wisconsin and there is no rehab per se here. Doctors say it’s in your head. They have rehab for alcoholics and drug addiction but none for nicotine addiction. I just wish I could go somewhere smoke free and get treatment.

@barboz, I understand what you are going through!!
Did you read the post by @mjb24?
When I was first quitting, I read the Allan Carr book as well.
It was filled with valuable tools and tips and really, really helped explain the psychology behind addiction. Nicotine is the most addictive substance on earth...but the physical withdrawals are nothing like heroin or alcohol withdrawals. With heroin withdrawals you wish you would die...with alcohol withdrawals you will die without help.
I have been smoke free for over 8 years now after being dedicated to my cigarettes for 42 years. The best way to quit smoking is the one that works for you!
Have you heard of the Allan Carr Book, The Easy Way to Quit Smoking?
I highly suggest you read it if you have not...it was a life changer for me.
