hello everyone. :)

hey there. well, this is a different kind of journal... I never posted anything just random like this... and I KNOW i am TOTALLY lying, too. lol. I've noticed that the more I'm around cigarettes, the more I want one... but if I'm not around it that much, I don't really want one that much... I mean, you know, I still want one... but not as bad as if I'm around people smoking. There's maybe been... what, two times when I was around my friend Zach smoking, and I didn't want one... which shocked both of us. lol. I'm actually trying to quit. it's not exactly working like I want it to, though because I'm almost ALWAYS around cigarette smoke. I want to quit and start back singing... I also need a vocal coach. anyone have any helpful tips for me?

  • K. cant help with the smokin thing cuz i myself cant seem to quit but i might beable to help with the vocal part. but first i got to know what town in TN you live in.

  • Yeah, perhaps try planning ahead for situations where you might be tempted to have a cigarette. Ask people not to smoke around you, and when you catch up with friends make it a dinner or a movie or an area where they can't smoke or lure you into smoking (they do have smoke free areas in America right?). Everyone will have different ways of quitting, some just stop very suddenly, and others do it gradually by reducing the number every day... but... set yourself a date to quit and stick with it a

    I have heard of the theory called the "4 Ds" which goes like:

    * Delay: remember that the worst cravings last for only a few minutes and will become even less frequent the longer you have quit.
    * Deep breathe: this should help you relax and focus your mind on something else.
    * Drink water: it is a good idea to drink plenty of fluids to help flush the nicotine and other toxins out of your system.
    * Do something else: you could go for a walk, to the movies or visit a supportive friend. Try eating an apple or cleaning your teeth when you would normally have a cigarette. You could hold something else, such as a pen or beads, to replace the need to hold a cigarette, or chew some gum or eat or drink a healthy snack to have something other than a cigarette in your mouth.

    (copied and pasted) hehe okay I'll shut up nowwwww

    About your singing, why not get into some community chiors as well? some of them are free and others are only like five dollars. its a good way of making friends and getting in touch with your voice again. Oh yeah and of course invest in some vocal coaching fun fun!
