What do you do when you are sick of smoking?

By: Darren Warmuth You would think the answer to that would be fairly obvious - you just quit! But I am afraid that would be the answer you've already heard from countless others who have either never smoked in the first place or have never successfully quit themselves.

So here is some advice from a smoker of twenty years who quit 10 years back.

Though for you to come to this point of wanting to quit smoking may be a major breakthrough in your life, you need to know that the desire to quit alone is not strong enough for you because it is not enough for most people - 97% to be precise. So, unless you belong to that minuscule minority, don’t do it, even if you are desperate and want to quit right at this very moment.

The first step you need to take is to try and remove all emotion from the process. You should treat this clinically. Just as a doctor would look at the problem objectively, diagnose it and treat it accordingly without bringing in any emotion, you need to create a distance between your self and your habit. Your anger or desperation will not see you through the quitting process.

It is important that you write down all the emotions and reasons you want to quit while in this heightened state of awareness, but it is equally important that you only use those reasons to help you on your journey to becoming a non-smoker - not to try and keep yourself wound up.

Note your reasons for quitting and then fortify them by searching the internet for as much useful information as you can find. Information is power. The more you know about the task at hand, the less hold the nicotine monster will have over you.

Note your reasons for quitting and then strengthen them with information. Search the internet for as much useful information as you can find. The more you know about the task at hand, the less hold the nicotine monster will have over you. Information will prepare you for all the hurdles on the way so that you are strong enough to face them and overcome them.

No matter which program you ultimately choose, you must do one all important thing - YOU MUST USE IT!

Buying a program and then leaving it in the package will do nothing other than keep you smoking because you have a stop smoking kit available that you will 'get to someday'. Someday is too late. Get the information you need - order a program - and use it. You'll be glad you did.

Get the information you need, order a program and start using it at once. You'll feel gratified as quitting smoking is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do in your life.

Happy journey,
