Do You Want To Quit Smoking? Don't Believe The Hype
I quit smoking about a year ago, and I want to expose some of the things that I've learned about quitting smoking, now that I'm free from cigarettes forever. There's a ton of hype out there surrounding smoking and quitting smoking that I now know is complete BS. My thinking is that if it's BS, I should make other people who want to quit aware of these things as well. The biggest thing to remember is to not but into all of the hype.
What do I mean by hype? The hype is provided by all of the people trying to sell you the best way to quit. The hype is all of the information that explains to you how difficult quitting is going to be. All of the information telling you that you need help to quit. I realized, through quitting myself, that this was all BS. I didn't need help to quit and the difficulty was directly proportionate to what I thought about quitting.
I realize that that may sound unbelievable, but it's absolutely true. Once I stopped buying into all of the hype about how hard stopping smoking was going to be and changed the way I 'thought' about stopping, the next thing I knew I was a non-smoker. How did I change the way I 'thought' about quitting? I simply began telling myself how easy quitting was going to be. While I was smoking, I would look at the cigarette and say out loud, "I've got this. This is going to be no problem." Within a couple of weeks smoking had become really annoying to me. It was such a chore. Having to go outside, and then after smoking I had that disgusting smell all over me. I was getting really tired of the entire process.
Then one day it happened. I looked at my pack and there was 1 cigarette left, and I said, "This is it, I'm done." And I haven't smoked since. No problem, no gum, no patches, no pills, I just stopped. Were there times I wanted a cigarette? Of course, especially in the beginning, but I just didn't have one. I had changed the cycle because I stopped buying into the hype about how difficult quitting was going to be and I changed my thinking. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone reading this article can do exactly what I did.
