'Trying' to Quit Smoking isn't Good Enough
If there was one word I wish I could remove from the English language, it would be the word 'try'. It's one of those words that take the proverbial wind out of the sails of anything we do. Just 'trying' will not get us anywhere with most tasks and it certainly won't take us to where we want to go when quitting smoking.
Does the Magic Stop Smoking Pill Help?
You may be one of millions who get trapped by catchy ads of ‘magic pills’ that can cure you of your smoking habit without any effort. It is all tall talk. There is no such wonder drug. So, don’t wait for miracles to happen, and start making an effort to get rid of your smoking habit.
Handling Relapses in the Quit Smoking Process
First of all, just talking about relapses can be dangerous because once the thought of slips enters the mind it is difficult to get rid of it, and you unconsciously will it to happen. Have you heard the story of a boy trying to learn cycling? He was so scared of hitting against the stone on the road that on a wide road he saw only the stone and banged right into it.
How do you even begin to quit smoking?
If you're a smoker, there will come a point in your life, and it may even be now, that you will seriously be thinking of quitting. There are any number of reasons why this may be. Perhaps you don't cherish your lovely smoker's cough. Perhaps you are becoming more concerned about your health. It doesn't really matter. The fact is that we know what smoking does to us, how it is affecting our lives and that eventually, we need to stop. But actually moving forward with that plan is sometimes the hardest part.
Quitting Smoking is Easier in a Group
It is not easy to break any old habit, least of all smoking, which is more than just a habit. However, if you have reached a point when you really want to quit smoking, you can do that more easily in a group rather than do it alone. But, first things first! You must be honest with yourself whether you truly want to quit smoking or is it just a passing fancy that impels you to give it up for any temporary reason. If you really want to give up smoking, then you must feel accountable to yourself and others. That is why you need a support group around you that can be of at least two or three other people, though five is ideal.
Quitting Smoking is not the First Thing You Should Do
Quitting smoking is not the first thing you should do when you decide to become a non-smoker. Yes, you have read that right - but it's true. Indeed, quitting is one of the last steps you should take on the road to quitting smoking. It is the end, not the means. If you start with quitting smoking, you are most probably going to fail, and all your efforts will come to naught besides the damage it will do to your personality, your confidence in yourself and much more.
Quitting Smoking? You need more than one leg to balance on!
No, I'm not crazy! I just thought it was a catchy title that would grab your attention and get you to read on.
Really want to quit smoking? Then Quit Making Excuses
Just listen to anybody who smokes and quite regularly you'll hear things like "I'm going to try and quit smoking, just as soon as I (fill in the blank)". Perhaps you've heard them say these things a number of times and now you just don't listen. Know what I mean?
The first 3 days after stopping smoking
Feelings of fatigue, irritibility and an extremely persistent headache are all side effects of nicotine withdrawal and are all perfectly normal. Why? Simply because it is in the first 72 hours which nicotine purges itself from your system - regardless of the smoking cessation method you have chosen to use.
What do you do when you are sick of smoking?
If you have reached the point that you are desperately looking for help to quit smoking, the simplest advice would be to just quit. However, things are not as simple as that. It is easier said than done. And, this advice can come only from non-smokers or who have never successfully quit themselves.
