The prospect of quitting cigarettes can be totally overwhelming - I'm sure you can agree that the idea of life without smoking is not always an easy one, certainly not as simple in a lot of ways as the idea of lighting up "just one more"!
Here's an easy stop smoking tip from a former forty-a-day chain-smoker!
The truth be told is that the task is neither simple and there is no click your finger fix, if there was one, I'd bottle it and become a kazillionaire (maybe one day)...
When your preparing to rid yourself of your "friendly old pal" nicotine you have to get honest, not only with yourself but also with your family and spouse. You may well become irritable and people might have to cut you some extra slack (well there's one benefit to quitting right there!)...
There is a shortcut to quit without too much frustration and its pretty simple...avoidance!
It's fair to say that there might be moments when you get tempted by the lure of "just one more" - indeed at these times it's not uncommon to see cigarettes wherever you look, if you take a stroll, you will see everyone smoking, trees can resemble cigarettes and clouds become puffs of smoke!
Naturally, in reality not everyone is smoking but it may feel that way, like you're the only one "left out".
At these moments, you need to remember that it's all in the mind and you will have these irrational hallucinations - but that is all they are, it's all part of the game and that's the best way to look at it, a game which you can both master and win!
Avoiding places where fellow smokers you work or socialise with congregate, for the first few weeks, will help you quash the temptation of smoking before it has a chance to even think about tapping you on the shoulder!
It's a good idea to change your patterns for awhile and analyze possible areas where you might meet smokers and simply avoid them until your cravings cease (and the cravings are weaker than you may think!).
Changing your routine is pretty easy if you think ahead. I made a plan to avoid all temptation before I even thought about putting out my last cigarette and it worked - five years later, I'm still a Non-Smoker and plan to carry on that way!
It's all in the planning so start now, follow this easy stop smoking tip, have faith in yourself and look forward to your new smoke-free life today!
