Try to set it during a time when you predict that you will be under relatively low stress, if possible. The first 72 hours will be the most difficult. The day you receive your pills is a great day to start!
2.Remove temptation: Throw away all cigarettes (including that emergency stash!) and clean your house and car so you can remove as much of the odor as you can.
3.Join a smoking cessation program: These come in many shapes and sizes. Find the one that’s right for you. The most important thing is that you are able to track your progress by documenting it and sharing it.
4.Find support: This can also come in many forms. If you choose to join a website, it will most likely have a support group. Perhaps you can also convince a friend to quit smoking with you, so you can go through it together. Remember: you can never have too much support. It’s also important that your smoker friends realize that you are trying to quit, so they can attempt to hide the temptation from you.
5.Start using Quit smoking Aids: Quit Smoking Aid is a great way to assist you through the process of quitting because it is formulated to alleviate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal while cleansing the system of all smoking-related toxins.
6.Adjust your behavior: You can have all the resources at your disposal to quit smoking, but without the right behavior, none of them will work. You have to WANT to quit, and you have to be determined to follow through.
7.Find replacement activities (besides eating): Join a gym, start jogging, join a team. Many people argue that they don’t quit smoking because they don’t want to gain weight, but as long as you don’t replace the physical act of putting cigarette to mouth with putting food to mouth, you won’t have to worry about this. Becoming active will also make you feel better about your body and keep your mind off smoking.
8.Take it one day at a time: Once the day comes that you have to give up the cigarettes, just keep in mind that with every minute that you go without cigarettes, your body is healing itself and you will begin the reap the many rewards of a happier and healthier lifestyle.
