Smoking kills 14.000 people everyday . Many people suffer from this scourge, Although most of them desire to get rid of smoking but they do not find incentives . I like to share the top 10 things that made this quit successful when the others failed. Especially and today is The Great American Smokeout .
1. Commit yourself Fully :
Always tell yourself that you wanna quit , although you will face difficulties , you'll fail , but you have to fight if you want to stop smoking .
2. Make a Plan :
You have to prepare yourself. You can't just up and say, "I'm gonna quit today." You have to be ready when those urges come.
3.You have to know your Motivation :
You have to know why you’re doing this before that urge comes. Is it for your kids? For your wife? For you health? . So if you have a reason push you stop it will help you to fight .
4. Convince yourself , Not One Puff, Ever :
Your mind is a tricky thing. It will tell you that one cigarette won’t hurt . But you have to fight this idea , because one puff leads to a second, and a third, and soon you’re not quitting,
5. Join Forums :
The online forums for quitters is one of the things that helped the most in this quit and it will help your for sure . Go online, introduce yourself, get to know the others who are going through the exact same thing , and read about others who are even worse than you. It will encourage you to keep fighting .
6. Reward Yourself :
Set up a plan for your rewards. Take whatever you would have spent on smoking each day, and put it in a jar. This is your Rewards Jar and spend it on a good rewards for yourself .
7. Delay :
Exercise. Do whatever it takes, but DELAY, DELAY, DELAY. You will make it through it, and the urge will go away.
8. Replace Negative Habits with Positive Ones.
What do you do when you’re stressed? if you are usual to react to stress with a cigarette , try to replace it with something better : do a massage , practice sport etc...
9. The Debut Is Difficult, But It Will Become Easier :
The hardest part of quitting is the first two days. If you can get past that, you’ve passed the nicotine withdrawal stage and everything will be easy with time , just trust in yourself .
10. If You Fall, Get Up. And Learn From Your Mistakes :
Yes, we all fail. That does not mean we are failures, or that we can never succeed. If you fall, it’s not the end of the world. as we said before you have to fight untill you win , This is the feature of your fight with smoking .
Finally you have to Think Positive and this is the most important tip . Tell yourself that you can do it, and you will.
