It is funny how, in these times of health-conscious individuals, certain vices like smoking are still difficult to stop. Usually, people are told of very good solutions tried in the effort to stem the desire to light up one of those tobacco sticks and to support this cessation. Yet, the issue is current and ever-present. While there is no real, 100% way to quit the habit, there are ways to try and begin this decision towards a healthier lifestyle and ways to support quitting smoking.
If you're going through say a pack of cigarettes daily, don't make big leaps like cutting your smoking in half. Set a plan in motion to cut back GRADUALLY. Try cutting out 1 cigarette a day every 3-4 days. Load up all the cigarettes you will be smoking for the day in *1* pack and have that be your sole source of cigarettes for that day. As time goes by, you will be removing 1 cigarette from this pack at a time, if in the process of utilizing this technique you feel any discomfort, distract yourself by chewing some gum or drinking some coffee.
After this, it is important to have a reachable goal. Set a date. Pick out that lucky day where you will make the first move to ending the smoking habit. It may be any given day or one that holds special significance. The thing is to keep that date in mind, commit to it, and make it happen.
Next, surround yourself with a great support group. Let important people know about the new step you are taking. Tell your family about your decision to quit smoking. Work out your plan with your best friend.
Do you only want to try quit smoking, or do you actually want to quit smoking? If you answered "yes" to the first question, there is no point in reading any further because you are not ready for the Big day. Typically, when someone says he will try to do something, there are more chances that he will fail because he already has it in his mind that there is a chance that he will not be able to do what he committed for.
When you take pride in your word being your bond and then follow through with this exercise, the accountability and responsibility factor will take affect on your psyche each time you feel the urge to cheat on your plan.
There is Nicotine Replacement Therapy. This therapy allows you to relieve the withdrawal symptoms felt by smoking quitters by replacing the Nicotine with FDA-approved medication. Generally, NRT is intended for short-term use.
If you focus on quitting smoking for good, you will only overwhelm yourself. You must learn to small chunk things, try and improve little by little and set your main focus on seeing weekly progress.
It is not intended to be the only method used to help a person quit smoking. This therapy also works best when it is combined with other means of quitting smoking specifically addressing the mind-set.
There are also other approaches to quitting smoking that do not involve Nicotine Replacement Therapy. The most popular of these approaches are hypnosis and acupuncture.
Now multiply that number by 365 [days]. Circle that number. That is the amount of money you spend each year on cigarettes. Now let's take it one step further. Fill in the "X" with the numbers you calculated above.
These tips are extremely powerful, if implemented! It is not enough to read these and get a slight positive high over what you could potentially do. Take action starting NOW! Get out a pen and paper right now, yes now, and take 10 minutes to write down your own personal cutting back plan.
In the end, the most important thing is the willingness and the determination to quit the smoking habit. While there is no hard and fast rule as to how to do this successfully, being 100% willing is certainly half the battle.
Pack that away in your pocket and make that your ONLY source of cigarettes for the day. Get writing, there is no tomorrow, all there is, is the eternal NOW, get up and make this a reality!
