Apparently it’s a mix of relaxing aromatherapy oils.
hello
pls can you advise what is ingredients for the lip-balm
thanks
hello Freedom
thanks yet again – pls advise can one buy the lip balm separately as i have almost finished with mine – cravings still there but am learning i think to cope – goodness this is really difficult – i have to keep going. i can t do this. i will succeed….this is not going to get the better of me – i am better than the nicotine – i can beat this…….
Of course it will get easier – you are busy exploring a new territory – a life of freedom. Hey I forgot about the lip balm – it’s a great distraction (not only because the aromatherapeutic ingredients are soothing, but also cause it gives you something to do!
Hello again Freedom
You are a star – yeah was thinking the same – i am most grateful for your support and encouragement. i am doing the breathing thing but i have to have self control now over the snacking part – you really are a help – today is day 7 as a non-smoker – goodness – pls tell me now its going to get easier, cos at times it doesnt feel like it. Self discipline and self control – YEAH? i can do this; we all can do this….
By The Grace Of God, i know i can succeed…
..know how Sunday evenings can get! This may sound really arb, but try the breathing – it is really really powerful. If you just substitute food for a fag, you’re no better off…so the idea is to distract yourself from the habit of just filling the inner hollow. When those moments come, where you’re thinking “what should I do now, I really feel like something, a ciggie or a nibble”. You have to be vigilant and gently steer yourself towards another activity – do something that you love, it may be walking in the garden, playing with your dog, having a bath, paging through a magazine, and if that feels like it’s not enough, consciously say to yourself “This is good enough, this fills me enough and I don’t need anything outside of myself to make this better”. And breathe at least 5 breaths – slowly, deeply, right down into your belly. You’ll see, after a few conscious breaths,it’s as if the wind has blown the clouds away . I hope this helps…
hello all
its sunday night – and craving a cig like anything – also i trying to eat healthily but am snacking too much – i really dont want to put on weight as i really can’t afford to – any suggestions from anyone – i am replacing snacking with a cig – mmmmmmmmm – not too good – tomorrow, i will have to try a new tactic – but suggestions welcome…
By the way, tomorrow is 7 days as a NON-SMOKER….yeah but damn difficult
Hey Guys, It’s weekend! let’s do something uplifting that celebrates the wonder that we are!
Hi Freedom
You are an absolute life-saver – thank you; thank you; thank you!!!
i am so grateful and appreciative for your support…
feeling a bit better this morning – this is actualoy day 5, i made a mistake – started on monday, my last cig being at 7h45 – oh well I CAN DO THIS!!!! I WILL DO THIS!!!!
Again thanks Freedom
Hey Janine, Hang in – you do not need nicotine – you need to look in the mirror and see that you love & respect yourself more than being at the mercy of something that takes away from you. Look at yourself, value yourself and love yourself for your courage, your dignity & for being able to be so honest about how hard it is. Just think you’ve already gotten past the most difficult days – but you are really already through the absolute worst – your body is starting to run a whole new programme of health & wellbeing….just stay focused & know that you are worth it!
thanks Saddell – today is day 5 but seems to be a bad day
H2O how ya doing
eish – i am really needing that nicotine right now – but no way is this going to get the better of me
so will continue to hang in there
again Thanks Saddell
chat soon – lata
Janine…just hang in there. The first few days are absolute HELL but from my experience, you must be close to turning the corner. After that its an easy downhill run to being a non-smoker and able to smell the South African AIR instead of nicotene!!!!!
congrats Saddell
i cant wait for that – only day 4 and i am climbing the walls – especially at night – spoke to Freedom – love him/her for the support offered – i am note sure who is male or female
anyways – i just have to keep telling myself i CAN do this – Saddell, now that i see you were smoking for 50 years – i am really inspired – huge congrats
H2O – check out Saddell – after 50 years – thats totally inspiring
Freedom – thanks again for your support – love it…
H2O – hang in there – i am from South Africa – where are you all from?
WE CAN DO IT – WE ALL CAN KICK THIS ADDICTIVE HABIT – GOOD LUCK FELLOW QUITTERS – in a few months time, we may look back and actually laugh at the crazy things we went thro to quit – but thats life – HANG IN THERE EVERYONE WHO HAS JUST STARTED, its not easy but WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!
Saddell – wow well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sure you must be saving a fortune! & enjoying the good smells around!
Today is No 200 since “Beyond Nicotene” enabled me to quit smoking after 50 years on the job. Right now it bothers me not if somebody stands next to me blowing smoke in my direction, except it smells foul!
My heartfelt thanks to the programme….where were you 49 years ago?
Hi Janine
You are so inspriring , really you are – and you sound like such a positive person , I like that … I will definitley keep in touch and let you know how I am doing.
Thank you for all that you have taken the time to write to me , it is much appreciated … good luck to you too I know you can do it !!
This stupid addiction will soon be a thing of the past !
Cheers to a healthy and happy future !
hello h2O
i really recommend that you listen to the cd with the breathing and hypno sessions – that’s such a help – but at the end of the day, its the will power to overcome the nicotine – day 4 and me and i am still craving like mad – but the lip-ice does definitely help – i wanted a cig just now when i bumped into someone who was smoking – OMG = then i started telling him about beyond nicotine – he listened with one ear but i think heard some of it – oh well – pls Lord i can stick with this cos its NOT as easy as it seems – but i know i can do it – i have to do it.
Hang in there once you start the programme – let me know how you doing and if i can offer support any way – believe me, i understand, at times i feel i could just about kill for a cig – but i know now that i am in day 4, i cannot let the nicotine get the better of me, Freedom advises that the 1st 4 days are the hardest so i am nearly there – hope to chat soon – take care… janine
Thank you Freedom and Janine – maybe next time I should read all instructions !! I thought by taking the pills they would decrease your cravings and then eventually MAKE you stop !!! I’m such an idtiot !!
Ok so I know what I need to do now … Thanks guys !!
opps – sorry – thanks Freedom – you are a Gem
hi h2o
oh goodness – i am not sure you are supposed to be smoking taking the pills
also i think Freedom can explain this much better as i am just a beginner,
this is my 3rd day and oh boy am i craving like a mad woman – but i know i can do this and so can you – just hang in there – i know you can do it – you will succeed – this is by far the hardest thing i have ever done in my life after 26 years of smoking but i am determined to do this – we all need to help/assist each other and i think Freedom is such a class act when supporting – Freedom pls assist h2O – about the smoking thing whilst taking the pills – XOX
H2O – YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! – dont let the nicotine take your power – yo u have the power to beat this game LOL
