Decide
to Stop Smoking for Life!
Stop
and Think: Spend some time thinking about your life
and why you want to live a healthy lifestyle.
Write Down Why: Think of all the reasons why you
want to stop smoking. It helps for some people to write
these reasons down and then Read them often. This is about
wanting to live a long, healthy life and to be able to breath
deep.
Pick a Day: Now it's time to set the day you smoke
your last cigarette. I recommend at least two weeks away
to give you time to prepare. But do set that date. Tell
everyone you know you are quitting and write it on your
calendar. Many people celebrate it for years after they
quit.
Toss the Gear: Begin to get rid of all your smoking
paraphernalia. The ashtrays, the pretty lighter, the case.
The ciggaretts stashed in the car, the garage, the desk,
everywhere. Out, everything. Keep only one pack of cigs
and a plain matchbook to use until your quit date. Try to
smoke only one pack untill those 2 weeks are over.
Plan for Cravings: Get to know the enemy -- your
addiction to cigarettes. You need to know when the cravings
will be the most difficult so you can plan for how to manage
them until they go away. Get to know your cravings and appreciate
that they are there, but let them go.
Have things ready at hand for when the cravings hit: Have
a bottle of "stop Smoking" on you at all times.
Peppermint
toothpicks are popular to help keep your mouth busy.
Chewing gum is what helps most people.
Another distraction is touch therapy. Keep a bottle of hand
lotion nearby and when the craving hits, slather some lovely
lotion, on your hands, neck, legs, face - it will distract
you for a few minutes until the craving passes.
Weight
Is Not the Issue: Yes, people often gain a few pounds
(the average is around five) when they quit. Your metabolism
is normalizing after being artificially stimulated from
the cigarettes. Don't beat yourself up about being hungry
or having a mouth that can't be quiet. Just do your best
to eat healthy and know that after you quit you'll have
the time, energy, and motivation to knock off those extra
pounds. The dangers of smoking so far outweigh gaining a
little extra weight!
This Is WAR: If you really intend to quit, then you
have to get really serious about this. It is war. You must
think of cigarettes as a lover that wants to kill you. Your
desire for cigarettes sneaks up on you, seduces you, stimulates
you and makes you feel good temporarily, and then slowly
destroys your lungs, heart, vessels and organs. It's literally
stealing your life.
Don't Stop Trying! Don't be discouraged about being addicted.
That's what you're up against. While your rational mind
is saying QUIT and all your values about life and living
feel violated every time you smoke, remember this is a vicious
demon. Nicotine addiction is worse than heroin. You are
the victim of a billion-dollar industry that has devoted
years to creating a deadly, toxic designer drug that kills.
Fight back.
CELEBRATE! You are a nonsmoker! This is a rebirth
for every cell in your body. Take the time to sit quietly
and just breathe. Tell your lungs you'll take care of them
now, you'll endure the nicotine withdrawal and allow them
to heal. Make a fist and hold it over your heart. That's
about how large your heart muscle is. Tell your heart, no
more toxic gasses flowing through. There will be no heart
damage any more. These are wonderful empowering messages
to give yourself. You are up against escape from an addiction
worse than heroin. Give yourself lots of credit for doing
this. It may be the most important thing you ever do to
preserve your life.
You
would probably be amazed if you really could count how each
day you are reclaiming your life. Knowing the days, hours,
minutes, and money saved reminds us of how long we've been
free of this demon nicotine, and it can also remind us of
how long our miraculous body has been recovering and reclaiming
our health.
And while it's great to know how much lifetime and money
you've saved by not smoking a number of cigarettes-- you
know what? -- some of the greatest benefits just can't be
turned into numbers. Be sure to notice and track them as
well:
Take a deep breath. Do it outside and smell the spring in
the air.
Let your teeth sink into a piece of juicy, fresh fruit and
feel your taste buds come alive.
Some folks find out from their intimate partner about the
benefits of quitting smoking to one's sex life.
Your hair, clothes, car, and workplace probably don't smell
of stale cigarettes anymore, and those nasty ashtrays aren't
littering your life.
