Damn Smoking!
02.02.06 (12:02 pm)   [edit]

You know, no matter how bad I make it out to be, I can't stop myself from buying the next packet and obliterating any good intentions I had of kicking the habit. It's depressing. I've started training for the cycle tour...once. I don't think I'm going to make it, but I'm not giving up. I cycled about 10km. My bum is sore, but it felt good. That was about 30 minutes, so how am I going to feel after 6 hours!?! Might go for a quick cycle before work tomorrow morning. Start the day with a bang.

Anyway, I could really do with advice on how to stop smoking for good. I'm all ears.

Each time you want to smoke a cigarette eat a piece of fruit. It gives you a healthy feeling.

Maybe a better idea, to post a blog each time I feel like a smoke... ;-)

Dr Phil says you have to replace the habit with a new one. There are going to be times in a day when you crave a cig the most ie. when you wake, after food etc so when the craving hits, do something else..exercise, eat, write a blog. The theory is that the craving passes (that remains 2 be seen...let us know)

Once upon a time, for 18 years, I smoked 21/2 to 3 packs a day and this is how I quit. Instead of focusing on what I had to give up, I focused on what I was getting by becoming a non-smoker. Healthier skin, feeling of vitality, improvement of my overall wellness, and it also released me from my fears of developing cancers, heart disease etc. You have to make it visceral, make the pain of smoking another cigarette greater than the pleasure of smoking. Cravings only last a few seconds at most. Discover something of far greater value to focus on. Living longer, wellness, enjoying your children, grandchildren as they grow, etc. Empower yourself to take control. Congrats on your decision to be a non-smoker and welcome to a life of health, vitality and fulfillment.
