Defeat Nicotine And Smoking With Firm Resolution |
|
|
|
Only when the resolution is that firm,
something tangible can be achieved. All half-hearted measures are bound
to fail! Ask any of the galaxies of smokers! Millions and millions! They
want to give up smoking desperately. A smoker repeatedly thinks to give
up smoking!
There are several voluntary associations to help the
smoker. Every small township generally has a health care unit. But the
unfortunate part of it is that, for every such unit, there are hundreds
of small and big tobacco products selling shops. The promotion campaign
for these products goes on unabated, through newspapers, important
periodicals, TV channels (though it is banned to some extent) and the
demand for tobacco products goes on increasing relentlessly.
Is it ever possible to quit smoking? Defeat nicotine?
Before trying to defeat your physical and psychological enemy,
try to know its strength and to what extent it has taken hold of you
because its destructive capacity is no less than additives such as
heroin or cocaine.
Remember, in the blood of a hard smoker, each
and every cell of it is surcharged with nicotine. It has become part of
the blood. Therefore, pregnant mothers-beware! Your smoking is injurious
not only to your health; it is dangerous for the tender baby within.
Your smoking alone is responsible for this double tragedy.
With the failure of the first attempt to quit smoking, one should
not get disheartened! Simply thinking routinely is not going to solve
the problem. Resolute actions must follow. The courses run by the Health
Care Centers and Hospitals may help you by way of information. But,
ultimately remember that, it is you who have to quit smoking, for it is
you who started smoking. You can build yourself or you can break
yourself. That depends upon your will power.
Each withdrawal symptom is powerful and difficult to endure. At times
you feel that the only way to get over them is to smoke- just one. If
you succumb and slide, then it is doubly difficult to restart the
pilgrimage to the smoke-free zone. So, with lots of determination, this
dizziness, depression, irritability, anger headache, restlessness and
trouble in concentrating will have to be tackled! But confront nicotine
with a challenging poser. Which is better- your company with wrinkled
skin, bad breath, bad smelling of hair, black teeth with cavities, black
lips or a glowing skin and a confident sparkling countenance?
Mark Twain said, “Quitting smoking is easy. I have done it a thousand
times.” But please remember, Mark Twain has not told you to follow him.
Your will power could be stronger than him!
