Health Self Improvement Are You Serious About Quitting Smoking?
Why is it that every article you read, every commercial that you see, almost everything supposedly designed to help you quit smoking comes with a price attached? It seems like 99% of the articles I read on quitting smoking are written by someone trying to sell you something to help you quit. Why is this? Why can't everyone be honest about the whole idea of quitting smoking and just tell you that by the nature of being born you were given everything that you need to stop smoking. If you are serious about quitting smoking, you can do it without spending a dime.
Before you begin to think that I'm completely full of crap, here me out. I smoked at least a pack a day for close to fifteen years and walked away from smoking once and for all. And I did it without spending one red cent, and there were no with drawls or any other negative effects. I simply stopped smoking. Were there times that I wanted a cigarette? Of course there were, but I simply wouldn't have one. I realized, during the stopping process, that it was normal for me to want a cigarette. I mean my body was used to having one for God's sake! A person will get used to anything after engaging in it for 15 years. The bottom line is that I stopped and I know you can as well. Below you will find a list of the things I found to be important in the process of quitting smoking :
Changing Your Thinking - That's right, you need to change the way you think about smoking and quitting smoking. Everyone tells you how difficult it will be. Don't buy into that stuff. Tell yourself that it's going to be as easy to quit as it was to start. Remember this quote, "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."
Change your surroundings - It was important for me to stay away from smoking (especially in the beginning). I stopped going to places where everyone smoked. I stopped hanging around smokers for long periods of time. I stayed as far away from smokers as I could. I even changed my job ( a job in which many people smoked).
Don't Believe The Hype - There is a ton of hype surrounding the act of quitting smoking. Everyone wants to convince you of the fact that quitting is a difficult proposition. I'm telling you from experience that it's not that difficult. Quitting smoking will be as difficult as you "believe" it will be, it's as simple as that. The hype is all designed to sell you something to supposedly make quitting easier. All of the hype is nothing but a big sales machine.
Hopefully these tips help you kick the cancer sticks once and for all. It really was that simple for me, and I know it will be for you as well. What you believe is the key factor. Remember what Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said of belief, "Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is." Just believe that you've got this smoking thing licked and you do.
