You have reached this stage to stop smoking
and today you need the support and help from outside agencies. This
shows the strength of nicotine addiction. How cruel its hold on you! But
don't be afraid to take the required support as you have finally decided
to quit smoking for ever. You can defeat nicotine, and you will!
Some
of the suggested methods may look simple, but you need to follow them
with commitment. Make a list of your reasons to quit smoking. Keep it in
your pocket and as the urge sprouts in your mind, take out the list from
your pocket, instead of the cigarette. Read the list slowly and
carefully. Re read it. Resist the urge with all the strength at your
command.
Be in touch with some QUIT SMOKING
program. The encouragement that you will get by attending such programs
may surprise you. Consult your doctor for latest information on the
subject of quitting smoking. The doctor's pep talk will have the desired
effect on you. Take suggestions about nicotine replacement products. The
care is needed to be taken in the area that these replacement products
do not lead you to further addiction.
Support your will power to
the hilt. Be obstinate to hate nicotine. See often, the video clippings
showing the detrimental effects of cigarette smoking. I would even
suggest you to visit the cancer ward in a hospital, and see for yourself
the deep suffering of the patients who were addicted to tobacco in one
form or the other. This will leave a profound effect on your mind.
Many have availed the support of hypnotherapy to get rid of
smoking for ever. Do try it. You are through, if luck favors you. Even
otherwise, don't get disheartened. You are in the nicotine-fighting
mood, and do remain in that position.
Your family members have a
positive role to play, at this crucial juncture of your life. They are
your immediate support and help group. Take assistance from your trusted
non-smoking friends, and do not hesitate to terminate friendship, though
temporarily, with your smoker friends. If you suffer from some major
disease on account of smoking, they are not going to foot your hospital
bill.
By now, you have enough knowledge in
theory about the ill effects of passive smoking. Your smoke coils do
damage the health of your family members. It is not your democratic
right to cause problems to your family members.
And finally, at
the end of the day how much money you have saved by not smoking?
Multiply it by 365. That is the amount that you are going to save for
the year, which I am sure is in thousands of dollars!
If you
don't stop smoking now, some one else will claim many more thousands of
dollars, from you. You know who!
