How to Stop Smoking even if you dont think you canIf you had told me last week that I would be smoke free today, I wouldnt have believed you. I was one of those people who had a massive panic attack just thinking about not smoking any more. I have tried giving up before and failed miserably. I even used Champix and had a cigarette as soon as I went off the tablets. I have been smoking more or less continuously for 3. Although I am by no means an expert, here is how I stopped smoking.

PHASE TWO DONT MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF QUITTING SMOKING You dont have to stop on Monday and you dont have to stop at the beginning of the day. Mornings are the hardest for me so I stopped after three cigarettes on a Wednesday when my packet ran out. Keep some cigarettes handy dont throw them away. I dont do deprivation well so I needed to know I could still choose to smoke. I had and still have an unopened packet of cigarettes in the cupboard. If that choice had been taken away, I would have gone out, bought a packet out of spite and smoked them weird I know. If cold turkey is too scary a prospect, start with nicotine replacement therapy. I used NRT for just over a day until I realised I was in this no mans land of being in mild withdrawal all the time but without any end in sight. I took my patch off and went for it. I dont think I could have done it if I hadnt taken that first baby step. Tell somebody youre attempting to stop. Lean on their support and encouragement.

Dont expect to suffer from every symptom youve ever heard about. Some people cant sleep, while others have the best sleep of their lives. Some people get constipated and others poop more than they ever have. Just notice each physical change as it turns up and remind yourself it will be gone as soon as the nicotine is out of your system. Dont resist the cravings, welcome and embrace them. Stop what youre doing and feel where the sensation is in your body your throat, your chest, your stomach By the time youve tried to locate it, it is usually gone. Ive been known to shout Come on then, bring it on. Do your worstRemember that quitting is mostly a mind game. Its only as big of a deal or as difficult as you make it. The physical effects and withdrawal symptoms arent any worse than those of a common cold. The struggle is mental. And if you decide that the struggle is monumental, then it will feel monumental. Conversely, if you decide its just a temporary roadblock in your life that you must take a few weeks to overcome, then it will be.

If you ignore him for 7. Bye bye Nicotine isnt a cure for anxiety or stress, nicotine creates anxiety and stress by putting you in a constant state of withdrawal. The relief you feel when you smoke is the end of withdrawal, not an infusion of calmness. Once you break the cycle, you will feel calmer than you ever have before all the time.

Chances are you will have forgotten about it. Suck on Tic Tacs or other low calorie lollies. Eat carrot sticks. Drink water. Get an app for your phone that celebrates the days you are smoke free, your health improvements and the money youve saved. Mine is called Smoke Free. Throw things at your partner. My boyfriend brought home a bull shaped stress toy which I discovered I could throw as hard as I could at his head and it wouldnt hurt. Dont forget to shout, Incoming, before you launch your missile. Read books explaining what is going on. Aside from Allen Carrs Easy Way to Stop Smoking which everyone talks about, I also discovered this free book which I highly recommend Never Take Another Puff by Joel Spitzer. PHASE FIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE It takes two weeks for all traces of nicotine to leave your system. Anything physical, mental or emotional that happens in the first two weeks is not a preview of your future self. Set your intention to stay smoke free one day at a time. If something horrible happens and you want to start smoking again, tell yourself you will wait until tomorrow. This will give you time to reflect properly on your decision before you throw away everything. You get to celebrate every night when you get into bed for a job well done. I put a sticker next to the date in my diary. If I was quitting for the rest of my life, I wouldnt get to achieve that goal and celebrate until I was at deaths door. A slip up means you will return to the same level of smoking you were at before you quit, or you have to start withdrawal all over again. There is no just one cigarette or even a puff.

When I have been smoke free for longer I will get back to you. In the meantime, tell me Have you quit smokingWhat advice would you give your smoking self.
