You Will Never Stop Smoking Until You Read This
This article is not to take lessons in morality and preaching about the benefits of quitting smoking. It's just a simple article about what worked for me - a guy of 47 years who smokes more than 30 years and was named to 60 cigarettes per day. I think if I can do then maybe this article will help others to seriously consider giving up.
How many times have you tried stop smoking? If you're anything like me you've stopped (at least temporarily) because you saw something on TV, a friend had a stroke, you were short of money or ... There are many reasons why people give up and then again once the initial "scare" has disappeared.
As I said, I smoked 60 cigarettes per day was well and truly hooked.
You've heard everyone going on about you of why you should quit. In general, the worst are those who have given up smoking themselves and put on a personal crusade, (although This is sometimes more like a vendetta), to banish any trace of smoke across the globe.
I advocate a more motivated to stop smoking. The only important factor in the whole process is YOU.
It is absolutely not about ...
** With someone you told. ** To do exactly what they did to stop smoking. ** Feeling awkward and guilty about people who do not smoke.
When the right time to quit?
The reason why people stop smoking and then start again is simply because they were not prepared to stop at this time.
I thought things through about 3 months before I finally taken precedence and even then I told everyone that this was a first step I took to quit smoking and I would take one day at a time - I found it took the pressure on me that if I start smoking again, I do not seem to be a "failure".
Remember that smoking addiction is very real. It takes over your whole life. You probably find that whatever you do turns around when you'll have the next breath. Whether working in the office, in the garden or anything ... Your mind is always thinking about stopping what you made to go smoke a cigarette.
Do not feel guilty for what ... as I said, it's a real addiction.
Just in passing, (at least in the United Kingdom), there are more doctors and others who will be the point of refusing to treat you blank for smoking-related diseases if you are a smoking.
Personally, I think they are ill. Far better to refer someone to the council (who work honestly, despite my initial skepticism of someone having to rummage in my habits!).
My advisor, Doreen, has been wonderful because from the outset. Low key, do not pry, no shock tactics, not conferences ... just a very informal chat about the best way for me to quit.
Doreen put me on the patches and gave me a little pump that I called, (a nicotine inhaler to be a snob), and assured me in no time they would they suddenly removed after 3 months or whatever.
A controlled amount of nicotine in your body to remove the requests do you absolutely no harm at all. The real danger is the smoke from entering your lungs. I do not know enough to be technical here, but if nicotine causes addiction and you can have as much nicotine as you want as long as you need, in the form of patches or anything, then that is good news for us.
I'm not saying that you will not get cravings once you decide to quit, but the craving in my case are usually associated with certain habits. For example I would like to associate smoking with coffee. A cup of coffee sweet sound with 5 or 6 cigarettes was pure heaven. I still miss it now to be honest, but normally I drink tea and if I make a coffee, I always my little pump to a rapid explosion.
Also remember that the urge to smoke only lasts a minute or two. If you can think something else for a few minutes (I know this is easier said than done), but will not really want.
While Internet searches for some facts before writing this article, I became so discouraged by the "advice" of the so-called experts, I decided sit down and write as I feel from a personal point of view.
An extract of "expert" advice was to make a "contract Stop Smoking" and ask your family and your friends to sign. I mean, give me a break ... If you is not making pressure on someone trying to quit I do not know what that is.
Another gem of experts was to plaster posters prohibited smoking throughout the house and around your workplace. Great if you need a constant reminder on smoking.
The general idea is smooth in your own time, out of habits and thoughts related to smoking.
I certainly feel better to quit smoking. Outside the enormous amount of money he saves me, my legs are not tired all the time and I have more energy.
In conclusion I would say that in your quest to quit sure that's what you want at a time that is right for YOU.
See your doctor to refer you to a counselor before giving up. Be honest with the counselor ... If you smoke 80 cigarettes a day then say that you smoke 80 cigarettes per day. Obviously struggling to tell you that smoke 10 or 20 or "about one pack a day.
When you feel the time has come to stop smoking then do it but not before. Do not let anyone push you to stop.
Remember that if you fail the first time (although if you've prepared yourself then there is no reason not to succeed), this is not a failure. This is a first Step enormous courage you have taken to stop smoking.
