The Easiest And Most Effective Way To Quit Smoking

I have been smoking for about 20 years (I am 35) and would love to give it up but I am really scared that I won’t be able to do it. My husband quit 5 years ago and has been on my case ever since to do the same. I wish I could wake up tomorrow and be a non-smoker. The problem is I still enjoy smoking maybe 10 out of the 20 cigarettes I have each day.

I’ve ‘quit’ before only to start up again. So you have to fix the way you look at it.
My mistakes when I quit:
1.I smoked my favorite cigarettes for a week (so I went from lights to full flavor)
2. I started running that day…so my nicotine levels dropped way to fast, and my skin crawled and it was hard
3. I craved a cigarette everytime I saw/felt a trigger.

This year I was ready.
1. I went to ultralights for the month prior
2. I didn’t quit…I realized that I was a non-smoker
3. Every trigger I had…I thought…that doesn’t make any sense, I am a non-smoker. I don’t get this craving.
4. Use a straw to occupy your hands. I cut a straw down to the size of a cigarette and breathed through the straw whenever I felt the craving for a cigarette…I didn’t need it after a few weeks.

Sep. 3,2006 I realized I was a non-smoker. I also went through a divorce during this time period…so I must have really wanted it or else my technique really worked well. I can be around people smoking, I can be in the same car while someone is smoking and I’ve held their lit cigarettes for them without wanting one…why…because I am a non-smoker.

Program your mind with what you are!

Good luck.
