What do you do when you are sick of smoking?

By Darren Warmuth | May 14, 2007

You would think the answer to that would be fairly obvious – you just quit! But I am afraid that would be the answer you’ve already heard from countless others who have either never smoked in the first place or have never successfully quit themselves.

So here is some advice from a smoker of twenty years who quit 10 years back.

So, when you are sick of smoking, the first thing for you to do is look at the reasons that led you to this point. You may want to quit because you have smoker’s cough; a serious health scare; desire a better environment for your children; or just want to quit for yourself because you know it is the right thing to do. Whatever the reason(s) you must realize that the desire to quit alone is not strong enough to help you quit. In fact, it is not enough for 97% of the people. Only 3% might be as desperate to take the jump regardless of the consequences.

If you belong to the majority, you need to think, plan and use a strategy to get rid of an old habit.

It is important that you write down all the emotions and reasons you want to quit while in this heightened state of awareness, but it is equally important that you only use those reasons to help you on your journey to becoming a non-smoker – not to try and keep yourself wound up.

Based on your reasons for quitting, search the internet for as much useful information as you can find. Fortify your reasons with relevant information because information is power. The more you know about the task at hand, the less hold the nicotine monster will have over you.

Note your reasons for quitting and then strengthen them with information. Search the internet for as much useful information as you can find. The more you know about the task at hand, the less hold the nicotine monster will have over you. Information will prepare you for all the hurdles on the way so that you are strong enough to face them and overcome them.

Also, look for a stop smoking program that addresses your concerns about quitting and then purchase it. Make sure, it is not the one that makes tall claims; they are not true. Buy the one that appeals to your wants and needs and gives you the determination to beat this nasty habit.

Most importantly, use the program. Start today because the sooner you start the quicker you will be free of your smoking habit. Beware of procrastination. Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today!

Get the information you need, order a program and start using it at once. You’ll feel gratified as quitting smoking is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do in your life.

To your success,
