Give up smoking?

Question

I Want to give up smoking because over the last 4 months i have been increasing the amount i smoke, and i just want to live a healthy life without it, Im also on a diet which i have been succesful on and i dont want my hard work to go down the drain along with this I hope to give up so i can encourage my mum to do the same. Any advice?

Answer 1

Don't rest on your laurels. You've been successful with the diet...now be successful with quitting the ciggies!

Answer 2

Get yourself a book by Allen Carr - Easyway - called this for a reason; it deals with the psychological reasons for the addiction, rather than the chemical addiction that really is not the issue when it comes to smoking.

They have a VERY high success rate in the clinics, the books themselves are the only thing I have ever known anyone to successfully quit with – this will only cost you a few pounds from Amazon, it is very easy to do and has life-long effects.

It is very sad that more people do not know about this method as it is very pro-quitting, rather than anti-smoking like a lot of methods such as the [sorry to say – purely idiotic!] idea of nicotine replacement methods or going on willpower alone.

I'll tell you how my parents did it, 2 different ways:

1. Just think you'll smoke tomorrow, it's a lot easier when you think about one day at a time, the idea of giving something up FOREVER is just too scary, you will want to smoke as soon as you think about it
But, when you feel you NEED to smoke, just think, promise yourself if you have to, you'll do it tomorrow, and then tomorrow and so on, until you realise you haven't smoked in months and you don't need it anymore

2. My dad, just made the mistake of giving his wallet with all the money to my mom, one weekend, on a road trip (she had already given up) and she just wouldn't give him money for cigarettes, so he had to spend 4 days without it and realised that if my mom could give up smoking, he had to do it too, only to look like he was strong too.. lol

My mom got the idea of one day at a time from a friend who was recovering from alcoholism,(it works the same way) and she also wanted to have a baby (ME!!) so that's why she did it. She tried to get my grandfather to quit with her, she got my dad and a friend to do it, but my grandfather didn't and died at 67, after fighting lung cancer for 5 years. Sorry, not trying to scare you but, you don't want cancer, so stop now , think about what your body will be like when you're 50-60

OH I've also heard that sex life gets a lot better after giving up !! : )

Good luck

Answer 5

Giving up smoking can be three times as expensive as smoking, as Nicorette and other brands are more costly than a packet of fags so you may aswell smoke lol. ;-)

Answer 6

Think of someone you really love and give up for them. It works....trust me! It makes it feel like you are betraying them.....

It has worked for me...10 months not smoking.

I had a small lapse, and another person who I really love asked me to keep at it for them and this had got me right back on track.
