Quit smoking tips?!
Question:
Quit smoking tips?
Does anybody have any? I told my fiance that the minute we got engaged I'd quit - that was 2 1/2 months ago. I only smoke 2 or 3 per day, but it's the one right after work and then after dinner that I CANNOT go without...help!
Answers:
I quit cold turkey and smoked about 3/4-1 pack a day for 15 years.
I made a list of the times I smoked and craved a smoke. I keep this diary type list going for 1 week. Then I analyzed the list to see specific patterns in smoking needs and habits. Then the times I seemed to smoke the most or crave a cigarette, I exchanged the activity for one where I couldn't smoke. It has been 6 months and although I used to have a cigarette in the morning with my cup of coffee, I still have the cup of coffee and the idea of lighting one up makes me gag.
You can do it if you really want to. I recently lost my sister to lung cancer and she found out she had it 2 months before she died. I think that also made a definite impact on my decision to quit.
Good Luck.
