Getting used to living without smoking can take time and often requires several attempts of quitting and commitment to stop. The day you choose to stop smoking after, pull out a pack of cigarettes, strike the lighter and smoke one after the other until you are getting tired and irritated. Don’t stop right away but instead lift your lit cigarette just to your smoking position and look at the top of the burning tobacco at an eye angle for a few seconds, imagining what health issues are associated with this burning stuff and how your lungs were burning. While you continue, at that now angry eye angled position, still holding your cigarette perhaps as you smoke but still return to the same position, again imagine the back pain you now days experience due to smoking, your smoking budget, embarrassment, cough, the bad smell in your mouth, clothes, house and car. All this will trigger your mind psychologically to quit cigarette smoking. Decide there and then to smoke your last, take a cup of cold water and experience how it feels in to quit smoking. The mind game is so good as people who have been smoking for years and have decide to now stop smoking tend to forget the decision they have just made to quit smoking – They remember after they have lit a cigarette or after being challenged by a silent voice asking them only to “smoke one”, “only that one”, “only this one”, i will stop” and so on. T o bit this silent voice telling you to smoke is easy – Change your thinking that you can be able to challenge anything that you don’t want. How? That smoking is not food, That you were not born smoking, Imagine how you started smoking and now where are your smoking group you started with? And also ask your self what you benefited since you started smoking? Remember having faith in yourself and the belief that you are going to succeed in stopping to smoke is the best tool to keep of this silent voice. Use a nicotine replacement product like, chewing gum, lozenge, and inhaler. They will relieve withdrawal symptoms of cravings to smoke, depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, finding it hard to concentrate, weight gain, increased appetite and will double your chance of success. Make use of distractions to counter cravings like take a walk, drink some water, chew gum, cycling, jogging, simple exercises and outdoor games to release some sweat, saliva and relief you off some strain. Your craving will only last 3 to 5 minutes and in the first few weeks, avoid places where people smoke. You can be able to challenge your habit with Nicoderm nicotine a replacement I personally used to successfully stop smoking. http//www.ogolben.blogspot.com
