I Want to Quit Smoking

By: James Grey All I needed was to have the right info in my hands when I quit smoking. Each and every time I mustered up enough mental energy, I would attempt it again. It was a learning adventure each time I failed in my attempts to quit but, I learned what not to do the next time. If you fail in quitting smoking, you can at least slow down on the cigarettes you are having. When you stop smoking it will be one of the best things you can do for yourself hands down. Call your health insurance company and ask for some help, they will help, LOL. Know what you are going to do when you get that craving for a smoke. It is not that hard to stop smoking once you put your mind to it.

The last time I had quit smoking, I signed up with one of those stop smoking support groups. The reason I did that is it was just killing me to quit over and over again, pure torture it was... It was going to be the last time for me. Daily and personalized support can go a long way. It can be one hell of a psychological ride, not counting the physical cravings. Having a stop smoking support group and a checklist help with tips and advice to head off what you will be facing. There is nothing innovative about this, we all go thur the same withdraws. I was just so afraid to fail again, stress and more stress. Your mind will play tricks on you, coming up with reasons to smoke. Learn a few ways to talk yourself out of having that smoke.

Arm yourself with the information of why you smoke and understand the effects it has on you. Change your behavior, plan it out ahead of time and like do not hang out with your smoking co-workers and friends. Treat the tobacco like a dependence problem because it is. Face these challenges if you truly want to quit smoking.

A fantasy to me was to quit cold turkey and a fantasy indeed smoking two packs a day. To quit cold turkey to some is one of the best known methods to quit smoking and the oldest one also. Cold turkey means to quit smoking without any planning or forethought or plan without any stop smoking aids.

As difficult as it would be to try to quit smoking I would also use products to help with my withdraw symptoms to help with the smoking cravings. The use of a nicotine patch or nicotine gum is known to helping people be less likely to start smoking again. If you should mess up by having a few cigarettes do not despair, just start over. Let's not dwell on meshing up and quitting your no smoking efforts.

Start by making a promise to yourself, that you are going to find a way to quit smoking, it starts with a plan. When you start you will be very uncomfortable at first. Family can help with your stress. Smokers fail in there first attempts all the time, just start again.

Nicotine is in a lot of the smoking aid on the market, more are coming on the market that does not contain nicotine. Doctor have a vast array of drugs that can be used in a quitting smoking program. Some them are bupropion, chantix and fluoxetine which is not in the scope of this article to discuss. Doctor will know what is best for you.

After that first 48 hours of hell, you will feel these feeling dismiss. Knowing this will help you in your journey to a smoke free life, I wish I had know that quit smoking tip before.

If you where not buying cigarettes for a year think about how much money that would be, is that enough of an incentive for you? Buy yourself something special after that. You will be one of the non smokers with negative attitude at the smokers outside. No more standing 15 feet away from the entrance to the building. Bring on the anti-smoking laws and more taxes on cigarettes; I don't have to pay anymore.
