Do You Find Smoking Enjoyable

From my own experience I discovered that I hate smoking.
I hate the way it makes me feel, I hate what it is doing to my body,
I hate the fact that I feel guilty for doing it, I hate that I need to plan my
daily tasks around my next cigarette, and I really hate that I failed so
many times to quit smoking.

Quitting smoking for me was much more than a desire it was a curse.
I struggled time and time again to give up the addiction that was slowly
draining me of life. I wanted to quit smoking so badly I thought there
was nothing that could keep me from doing it.
Each time I quit I found myself at the local gas station buying a pack of cigarettes
merely to quiet the nicotine withdrawals I was encountering.
Day after day I would do this. I would smoke what I had then I would
quit again only to go through the whole process again.

The continued failure to quit smoking began to wear me down to the point
I thought the only way I was going to be able to quit was to get bad news from
my doctor that I had cancer. The thought of not being able to see my baby girl
grow up depressed me even more. I wanted to quit smoking so badly,
if not for me for her. So why was I having such a difficult time quitting?
Then finally after several attempts to quit I was actually able to make it
through one day, then two, and so on. I was so excited and shocked that
I was able to quit smoking.

I guess the moral of the story is to not let go of your desire to quit smoking.
If you get knocked off your horse get right back on and try it again.
By being persistent I was able to quit smoking and rid myself of the addiction that was controlling my life.

Focus On Quitting Smoking


In 1999 Hatsukami, D. Mooney wrote an article,“Pharmacological and Behavioral Strategies for Smoking Cessation”,that stated, “the more intensively you focus on quitting smoking, the higher your odds of quitting.” Could this be true?

Merely by focusing on quitting smoking isn’t really quitting smoking so how could it increase your odds of quitting?
As I contemplated this and reflected on the last time I quit smoking I discovered that what Mooney stated carries a lot of weight.

It also occurred to me that focusing on quitting smoking was one of the top reasons why I was able to quit smoking when I did. The more I thought about it I saw just how much I was focusing on quitting smoking months before I even quit. It started out with simply searching the Internet on smoking and methods to quit smoking. Considering what would work best for me.

I even tried a couple products that claimed to help people quit smoking only to fail, no fault of the product I just wasn’t ready. This only fueled my passion to quit smoking.
Next, I started to look into the many health risks of smoking and the benefits of quitting. I was excited to see that much of the damage I have been doing to my body all these years was for the most part repairable. And that there were immediate benefits of quitting smoking and that millions of people have successfully quit smoking.


For two months before I actually quit smoking I focused intently on quitting. I look back and remember the pamphlets, brochures, websites, and forums. I thought about quitting smoking every time I had a cigarette. I felt I was always thinking about smoking and looking for information on how to quit. I was mentally priming myself to actually quit smoking and by focusing on it daily even though I had not quit was instrumental on the day I actually quit.

If you are considering quitting smoking I would suggest you do the same thing, focus on quitting. Surround yourself with literature and visit informational websites. This helps on focusing to quit smoking,i tried all these and it worked.Want to learn more on how i quit?click here for additional information

Best Day To Quit Smoking - When Is It?

So I was at school the other day, and a couple of friends were conversing about smoking addiction and how to quit smoking. We were debating what the best day to quit smoking is in general. After much thought we came to a mutual conclusion.

When you're addicted to smoking and you want to quit smoking you look for miraculous ways to take away your addiction. People will tell you that you should quit smoking as soon as possible, and hey, if they are your friends then obviously they will tell you that, they are only looking out for you.

But what your friends don't realize is that when you're addicted to smoking you can't just flat out quit that same day. Your body has adapted to the cigarettes you've been feeding it and really likes it. In order to quit you have to pick a time when you will and stay smoke free for a give amount of time.

The secret to quitting smoking is that when you decide, "hey I don't like smoking but the cravings....the cravings.." you have taken that first step. When you are at this point, consider trying this technique to quit your smoking habits. Smoke until you no longer have cravings for that day. Then the next day is the best day to quit smoking, that's when you strike, take the opportunity and refrain from smoking another cigarette for as long as possible.

The idea is that the longer you stay without smoking a cigarette, the better you will succeed at quitting smoking. In general, once you have been smoke-free for 2-3 months you have done it, you've quit smoking. Just be persistent, smoke up for one day, then the next day decide to follow through and take action; no more smoking!
