My Life As A Smoker
Smoking Ran My Life
We'll I'm here to tell you that quitting was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. Why, because I only smoked 2 cigarettes a day! It was easy to downplay that amount and "justify" myself and keep on smoking.
I hated, hated, hated the control cigarettes had over me. The idea that I could not control myself was frustrating and a bit scary. Smoking literally ran my life from the moment I got up in the morning until I went to bed at night. As soon as I awoke in the morning, the thought would be there: When should I have that first cigarette? I'd decide to wait until after I was dressed. Then I'd postpone until I got to work. I really couldn't wait much longer.
Once at work, I'd close my office door and drink in that smoke and focus on each breath. After all, I only had 1 left after this one. Then all day long, I'd think about when I was going to have that 2nd cigarette.
Smoking cigarettes literally haunted me all day long, every day for that year that I smoked. Smoking ran my life. I knew deep down that I had to give it up because if 2 cigarettes were running my life I could only imagine what 30 or 40 would do.
Smoking - the brief pleasure that kills.

The Endless stop smoking program
What's holding you back from quitting?
What is the antidote to fear? Knowledge. "Know thy enemy" is an age-old military truism, which is applicable here. Don't even think of quitting, until you have a quitting plan. A solid, reasonable plan that has worked for others.
The thing is, what works for one person may not work for you. So part of your plan should be, no MUST be, Plan B. That's right, a second, different stop smoking program.
That way Plan A cannot truly fail, as it is just a warm up, a trial balloon for Plan B. So you just go whole-heartedly into Plan A. Want it to work, will it to work, make it work. And it will. For a while. Maybe forever, but we don't care, because we're covered.
If you find yourself with a lit cigarette in your mouth in a few days or months, that's okay. Congratulate yourself. You've succeeded for X number of days, you've improved your health, you've learned something about yourself and your habit, you've eliminated most of all of the toxins from your system.
It is the next step that is CRITICAL! Put that cigarette out immediately. You have not "relapsed" or become a smoker again.
It is just time to put Plan B into place. And this time will be much easier, without all those withdrawal symptoms. Grab your nonsmoking notes, order whatever product or service you have selected, and ... pick a Plan C.
You see the pattern? Always be one step ahead of the tobacco habit.
You will never run out of plans to try. Since each one is preceded by longer and longer periods of nonsmoking time, balanced against just one partially smoked cigarette, it just keeps getting easier.
So do a little research, pick your programs, and get started. With the Endless Stop Smoking System you truly cannot fail. Read more at Stop Smoking Programs.

Tip #1 - Change Your Words
And it will change your thoughts
The labels you hand on yourself are very powerful. Even more powerful than what others label you. So, when you stop smoking...
CHANGE YOUR WORDS
... tell yourself...I am a NON-smoker.
By holding onto the label of "smoker", you are just holding on to a reason to go back to smoking. Studies have shown that we take action based on how we perceive ourselves. Perceive yourself as a NON-smoker.
Do it now. Throw out those cigarettes and say to yourself, "I'm a NON-smoker." What use does a NON-smoker have for cigarettes?
20 minutes after your last cigarette, your blood pressure, pulse, temperature all return to normal.
Tip #2 - Make A List
Write down your biggest reasons to quit smoking
Make a list of all of the reasons you might want to quit on a piece of paper.
This step is very important because it not only will help you realize just how much smoking controls you, but you can find the major reason you want to quit.
While you are writing the list, put a star next to the reasons that trigger the most emotions. This is the one you can use to repeat to yourself whenever the urge really gets to you. It's YOUR ANCHOR REASON.
Keep that list or at east your anchor reason on a 3x5 card or piece of paper where you usually keep your cigarettes -- in your pocket, next to the bed, everywhere you usually keep cigarettes.
The next module might remind you of other reasons you have.
Tip #3 - Toss, Toss, Toss Those Cigarettes...
Get rid of temptation
You need to get rid of all your remaining cigarettes. No, don't say, "I'll quit after I finish this pack or carton. That means cigarettes are still in control of you. TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!
Throw away ALL of your cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays -- anything that has to do with smoking. Don't give them to a friend who smokes. That places value on cigarettes, and the do NOT have value. In fact, they will indiscriminately injure anyone you give them to.
Within 72 hours of your last cigarette, you'll be able to breath easier.
TIP #4 - Change Your Habits, Change Your Life
Habits make up a life
Be aware those routine situations that trigger your urge for a cigarette. The situations which will trigger a response include:
1. Drinking coffee
2. Drinking alcohol
3. Sitting in a bar
4. Social events
5. Right after eating
Learn to recognize those situations and CHANGE YOUR HABITS or what you usually do in those situations. For instance, if drinking alcohol triggers your urge to smoke, do not drink alcohol.
If you usually smoke right after eating, find another outlet. For instance, take your dog for a walk; do some deep breathing exercises; play with your children; read. Do anything that will get you out of your old familiar routine.
You have to stop doing what you've always done so you can get a new outcome.
TIP #5 - Get A Support Partner
Find someone to support you as you go
Let your family and friends help. Let them know that you may be a little jumpy or edgy. Also, ASK them to support you.Share with them ways they can help -- how they can distract you when you usually have a cigarette. Tell them about your ANCHOR so they can remind you when you ask for help.
GET A SUPPORT PARTNER
Usually, the best supporters are those that do not smoke themselves OR someone who has quit OR someone that is quiting with you.
Sometimes a smoker will feel threatened. They may feel like you are asking them to quit and they aren't ready to make the commitment yet.
The best support partner is your child.
Within one year of quitting smoking, the chance of dying from smoking-related heart disease is cut in half.
TIP #6 - Reward Yourself
Give yourself another reason to quit
Save the money you usually spend on cigarettes and buy yourself something you really want after a week or a month.
REWARD YOUSELF with a movie or a trip to an amusement park or even an afternoon of reading a good book.
The trick is to do something fun that you normally don't do as often as you'd like.
You could even save for a year and treat yourself to a vacation.
Tip #7 - Keep Your Mouth Fresh
A fresh mouth begets a fresh mouth
Keeping your mouth fresh and clean helps whether you're craving a cigarette or a snack. It is absolutely the best way I've found to make smoking and eating less tempting.
Brush your teeth often -- in fact brush your teeth whenever you have a craving to smoke. If you aren't any where that you can brush, have a breath mint or chew sugarless gum.
KEEP YOUR MOUTH FRESH.
Really! I didn't want to eat or smoke right after I brushed my teeth. So, brush often. I flossed and used mouth wash. I wallowed in the feeling of cleanliness. It was an amazing find. This also helps if you're dieting tp]oo.
Try it. I think you'll agree that it is a very small thing to do but it pays off big time.
After quiting, within 5 years, your risk of a stroke or getting cancer is reduced.
TIP #8 - Get Rid of the Cigarette Smell
Remove the ick from your clothes and possessions
What worked for me and for my father, who smoked for 50 years before quitting, is going through the house and cleaning away the smell. Not just your clothes, but your bedding, towels and even your curtains or drapes.GET RID OF THE STINKING SMELL.
My father took it 1 step farther than I did -- of course he had to because smoke had permeated everything in his house. He took everything out of the closets and drawers -- smelled them and declared them, "Stinking Stuff!" and washed them all using a good smelling detergent and fabric softener.
If you are in the same boat -- that smoke and smell has penetrated everything in your house, take them all out and wash them. And, when the clothes come out of the dryer, actually smell them. That's right. Take a deep whiff of them and say, "Wow. This smells so clean!"
My father had the drapes cleaned and he had to paint the walls. When he took the drapes down, he found yellowed walls. He took the photos off the walls and could not believe the sight. He shook his head in disbelief as he realized that's what his lungs looked like but worse!
TIP #9 - Start Drinking - WATER, that is.
Water helps detox your body
Your body is filled with toxins, especially if you've been smoking for any length of time. so, hange from smoking to drinking - water. Water is not only good when you're dieting, but it is an excellent way to get the toxins out of your body.DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.
The rule is to drink about 8 glasses of water a day. A trick is to get a container that you fill every morning with 64 oz of water (8 ounces x 8 glasses). Then throughout the day, drink the water. Having one that you can carry around with you is a great idea.
If water is hard for you to drink, you can do a couple of things. Drink as much straight water as you can, then...
1. Drink Gatorade or the like instead. These drinks are filled with electrolites so they are good for you.
2. Put 1 cup of juice with 7 cups of water. Grape juice or cranberry juice are good choices. They help to curb your sugar craving as well.
3. Put slices of lemon or lime in the water.
After quiting, within 10 years, the risk of dying from lung cancer is cut in half.
TIP #10 - When the Craving hits, Distract Yourself
What to do when you crave a cigarette
Be prepared. When the craving hits, and it will, have a distraction planned. Take a walk, take a bath, read a book, watch a good show, have sex (yep, that works) -- anything to distract yourself -- it only takes a few minutes before the craving slips away.DISTRACT YOURSELF.
Plan what you will do in advance. What you'll do if it's midnight, or when your at your desk at the office, when you're driving, when you're watching TV, when you get up in the morning. Plan now, so that when the craving hits, you know exactly what to do.
What's really cool about this tip is that if you select positive distractions, such as taking a walk, instead of negative ones, like having a piece of cake, you'll be developing life-long good habits. It only takes 21 days to create a habit. Pretty cool, huh?

Stop Smoking Programs: An Intro
There are lots of smoking cessation programs available
You've decided to quit. The clock begins, however, it's smart to get some help. Like dieting, there's not a single weight-loss program that will work for every person. I have researched and reviewed well-known and alternative stop smoking programs, and found some startling results.I encourage you to further study the products and programs below to discover the program that will work optimally for you and start you on your way to a smoke-free life.
You may say, "I've tried stopping smoking programs before and they don't work!" Yes, you may have tried to stop smoking before, probably several many times. You probably initially tried to stop smoking without a stop smoking program and concluded that you simply couldn't stop for good. Or, you may have tried one or more of the most common plans and found those to be only slightly better. Does that mean you are out of options? Absolutely not!
Below, we'll review the most common methods used to stop smoking, then show you some alternative stop smoking programs that are actually helping people to quit smoking for good and change their lives.
After 12 months, Zyban failure rate was 70%!
Zyban - A Brief Review
A prescription Anti-depressant
Zyban is a prescription Anti-Depressant. A large, recent study done by the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine reported an initial failure rate for those using Zyban to stop smoking of over 60%! That's just the initial failure rate. After 12 months, the failure rate was 70%! And actually that's the "good" news!Here's the bad news. While antidepressants can provide some benefits, some have had a worsening of depression/other symptoms, including suicidal thoughts/attempts. The following side effects are also associated with Zyban: feeling restless, anxious, dry mouth, incomplete or infrequent bowel movements, dizzy, chronic trouble sleeping, excessive sweating, involuntary quivering, loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, throwing up, stomach cramps, ringing in the ears, high blood pressure, painful periods, itching,hives, rash, headache, gas, hepatitis caused by drugs, joint pain, cannot focus thoughts, hallucination, feeling faint, seizures, chest pain, abnormal liver functions test, confused, delusions, paranoia, blurred vision, throat irritation, "change of life" signs, muscle pain, drowsiness, fever, taste problems, temporary redness of face and neck, heart throbbing or pounding, diarrhea, frequent urination, nervous, feeling weak, and false sense of well-being. WHEW!
Do you really want to risk further endangering your health by taking a prescription drug that was intended to treat depression?
Nicotine Replacement Therapy had a failure rate of over 85%!
Nicotine Replacement Therapy - A Brief Review
Nicotine replacement helps you wean yourself off cigarettes
As one can imagine, replacing one nicotine delivery system (smoking) with other nicotine delivery systems (gum, patches, inhaler) still leaves one craving nicotine.This explains why the study mentioned in the Zyban module revealed that after 12 months Nicotine Replacement Therapy had a failure rate of over 85%! That's an even worse record than Zyban, and you're still putting the addictive poison in your body that you are trying to wean yourself off!
In-Patient Clinics have a failure rate of well over 50%
In-Patient Clinics - A Brief Review
Get 24 hour help in a stop-smoking clinic
The respected Mayo Clinic offers its Nicotine Dependence Center, including a very costly in-patient plan for stopping smoking. With clinics in Arizona, Minnesota and Florida, this is perhaps the Rolls Royce of stop smoking programs. A similar in-patient program is offered at St. Helena Hospital in Northern California's Napa Valley. You check in for a week, but it's not cheap, either!These in-patient therapies do have a slightly better track record than Zyban and Nicotine Replacement, and are no doubt a healthier option, but a very high-priced one that still has a failure rate of well over 50%.
