How to quit Smoking by xcellz

"hard to do took three tries"

How I did it: i quit two times prior to actually quitting. this last time i was injured and was in the hospital "punctured lung amoung other things". It took several months of rehab before i could really get out and about. on one of my first outings i took a drag off a cig and started coughing. that moment is when i quit. i realized i had beaten it and told myself to never go back.

Lessons & tips: look for the moment that you actually have beaten it. try to use the power of that defining moment to keep it beaten. dont slip remember that it really is your life at stake.

Resources: not sure but maybe talk to your doctor for help...remember cigs are for suckers "pun intended"

well get married then you wont be a single parent! Just kidding! its hard to quit the tabbaco companies spend lots of money coming up with addictive formulas to make it even harder. You HAVE to do it though. Do it for yourself do it for your child. If she sees you smoking it will automaticly make her more likely to smoke. I am a single parent of twins and we make fun of people who smoke…i know its not teaching compassion but it is teaching survival. whats the stat 1 in 2 smokers die from a smoking related illness?
GOOD LUCK BE STRONGER THAN THOSE NASTY THINGS!

Quit Smoking

The fear has the capability of changing the mindset towards quitting any bad habit. One of the effective ideas is to avoid being around others who smoke while you are trying to break the habit.

smoking sucks "get it"

that’s what my kids and I say. Seriously though smoking becomes a part of who we are. It infiltrates every activity we do. I am just some smock who was lucky enough to quit so remember that when you take anything i say to heart. that being said it seems to me that the reason is smoking is so hard to quit is it’s a true chemical dependency. It is such a devious affliction. The whole mentality of it being “your fault” that you started in the first place or its “your fault” you started up again after you quit etc. only leads to lowered self esteem which is a shame because you will need your self esteem to empower yourself to break the cycle of the addiction and kick it out of your life at every level. Every level because once you are an addict it effects who you are at every level. “yea that might be a bit melodramatic but its true”
