How can you stop an asthma attack without an inhaler?
I've had asthma for a while now but no matter what i do when i get an asthma attack it takes forever to stop it if i dont have my inhaler. Any techniques to help stop one or atleast calm it down?

My son has Asthma and his inhaler does not help. We had to invest in an air pump and put him on Xopenex mist to clam his attacks. You might want to talk to your doctor about getting one, your insurance should cover it.

any stimulant will help, because it opens up your airways.
strong, black coffee WILL HELP, because of the caffeine.
also, getting near a humidifier or in a hot shower should help, from the steam.

Go to an herb shop and buy some eucalyptus oil. When an attack comes on, rub some on a cloth and breathe it in until your symptoms go away

Not really. Just try to stay as calm as possible. Stay away from the things that cause the attack-animals, allergens, over-exercising, etc.
It's hard to not be getting the air you need and it sends you into a panic. The more you panic, the worse the attack is. Remember to keep your inhaler with you and you might want to ask the doctor about an EPI-pen for emergencies.
