Why You Want To Quit Smoking?

 

Thank you for coming to this page, you are already one step ahead of other smokers, I have a question for you. Why You Want To Quit Smoking?

If you can figure out the 'why', the 'how to' will become easy. I am qualify to say that because I am an ex-smoker.

Is this your first time trying to quit smoking?

Reasons to Quit Smoking 

You need to think deep inside you, 'why' you want to quit smoking? You need to look beyond tomorrow. Find some true meaning of your life.

I want to live longer is not a strong enough reason, every morning when you wakes up, you live for another day.

Take your time now and answer the following questions with Brutal Honesty.

Where you are most challenged in relation to Smoking?
For example: I can not walk up the stairs, I can not breath properly.

What would be the cost if you don't quit?
For example: Your own health, your kids' health...etc

How will you LIFE improve once you have made changes?
For example: I can go swimming with my grandson, I have heaps of spare money to spend on travel.

Once you have defined your reasons, it is much easier to go about quitting, remember, read out loud your reasons every morning to remind yourself 'Why' you are doing it and you are almost there.

It is a good reason to have something symbolic such as a special coin, a squeeze of your hand, an action of hammer, a V sign with your left hand etc to be your anchor. Whatever it is, it is your anchor and I want you to remember that every time when you use the anchor, it will remind you all the 'reasons'.

What Have You Tried?

Cut it Down, Slow 


Electronic Cigarette Kit



Nicorette Coated Gum 4mg, 100 pieces
(Fresh Mint)

The way that I quit is nothing new, all you need to do is cut down your smoking even 1 cigarette less a day for 3 days, then cut down another one for 4 days.

If you are a heavy smoker, you may want to try the electronic cigarette, this can save a lot of money and the 'refills' are cheap.

You need to cut yourself down to a point where you only have couple a day.

This could be a lengthly process but it works, you do not want to 'STOP' all of the sudden, people use patches and stop all of the sudden hardly succeed.

Every time where there is a caving, you need to use the anchor to reminds yourself, 'why' you want to stop. Having said that, 'Gum' may help of you really need one.

You should listen to some relax music everyday, put aside 30 minutes everyday for yourself to 'reward' your own success.

The more relax you are, the better it is, load up your iPod with relax music. You may think it is a bit girlie, but hey, how hard you want to quit?

Final Step - Cut down the final couple to zero a day. 


NicoDerm CQ STEP 1
3 Week Kit
21 Clear Nicotine Patches


Once you are up to this point, you are pretty much on your way to success.

Nicotine patches may help at this final stage. All you need is stay focus and have 1 a day then 1 every couple day then 1 a week. By the time you only need 1 a week, you should be able to drop the habit completely. You may notice that I only suggest patches at this final stage. I knew a lot of my friends try to use patch at the beginning and failed. It is not the patch, I understand that it is the 'habit' to hold someone in hand.

Remember, any temptation arise, think about your 'reasons', you are strong and you can do it.
