Oh yes, the good old fashioned attempt to stop smoking. As Yoda used to say – “There is no try, only do or do not!” In the Spanish language the word “try” implies failure as in “I tried and failed to get to the appointment on time – “Well, I Triiieeed!”

You have to go in with commitment to ride it out. If you just do it once and stick to it, then you won’t have the pain and suffering of multiple attempts to quit (not to mention the ongoing problems from continuing to be a smoker).
So, if you’re thinking about attempting to quit smoking, do your research, learn what’s involved and then get committed and JUST DO IT!
Do You Still Want To ATTEMPT To Stop Smoking?
Perhaps, you have heard a lot of people say that smoking is an old habit that dies hard. Smoking can become very addictive, and once a smoker becomes dependent on its substance, he will definitely lose most of his strength to steer clear from such addiction. Despite all the reminders of advertisements and all the warnings given by medical professionals regarding the harmful effects of smoking to one’s health, a lot of people are still lured by the aroma of a burning cigarette; and before they know it, they are already too hooked on smoking to quit it. And then, for any reason, they will begin to stop smoking, but then they will feel too weak to fight the urge to smoke again.
Smokers may say that they will stop smoking in due time. But when really is the right time to stop smoking? Don’t they know that the longer they prolong their addiction, the harder it shall be for them to quit it? Why wait for tomorrow, when you are already a victim now? In waiting, you are just waiting for the consequences of your actions to become more serious than it already is. Listen to what health practitioners are saying; take the brave attempt to quit smoking now.
The Real Secret Behind Effective Smoking Cessation
In quitting, your tool winning tool is your willpower and determination. People may tell you how to go about the quitting process, but it is really your focus that will help you get through the rehabilitation. Just remember that it is never going to be a quick change, it would definitely require you to work hard for your goal. Do not look for the easy way out, keep in mind that you should do it slowly but surely.
Set your goals, and take note of the reasons why you are finally stopping. Emphasize on the benefits that you will get when you are finally a non-smoker instead of using all its harmful effects to scare you into quitting. The reward is a better motivation than the punishment. And as you set your goals, remember that there are trials as you quit smoking, such as the withdrawal stage, and this may be toughest part. You should be prepared when these symptoms occur.
You should plan activities that would keep your mind of smoking. Enjoy sports, or pamper yourself by going to the spa, or watching movies. Try to see how much productive you can be by doing all these things than just smoking. The money you are spending is well spent as well, and it is not just wasted on a bad vice. For the time being, hang out with your friends who are not smoking and surround yourself with an environment that would really make your forget about smoking.
Stopping Smoking Begins and Ends With You
Bear in mind that you are the key to the success of your battle against smoking. It is your determination that will push you to reach your goal. No matter how much people remind you to stop smoking, it is always you who has the last say. So, you should stay focused and determined.
And, you should know that if you are planning to stop smoking, now is the best time. Today is better than tomorrow, and this will certainly make your future a lot brighter and healthier. Do it now, be brave enough to stop smoking.
Just put a date on your calendar for the last day you will smoke. Make a plan, stock up on stop smoking aids if necessary, and then get committed. I suggest working with an accountability partner and/or journaling about your attempt to stop smoking. You will find that by writing down what you’re going for, you’ll be able to feel a sense of accomplishment (and accountability) every step of the way.
When you have quit smoking for good, plan a reward for yourself, like a vacation, a trip to a spa, or some other very special treat. You’ll have the money for it with all the cash you’re no longer spending on cigarettes!
