First, a word
of caution.
This is not going
to be easy.
This is an exercise
that will put your nerves, your muscles and every cell
in your body to the utmost level of endurance. But in the
end when
you triumph, you will realize that it was worth it.
After all, it
is a matter of life and death. Believe me, you can
do it once you make up your mind. I can tell you that with
all
the authority in the world because right now you are being
addressed by a person who quit being a chain smoker and is
now a total non smoker. That’s right, me!
Step
1: Your Decision To Quit Smoking
Let’s get one
thing straight. Wanting is very different from deciding.
It may seem like the same thing, but really it’s not. There
is a sea of difference between wanting to quit and actually
deciding to quit. You probably wanted to quit the very
day that you started smoking, but as can be clearly seen,
it just didn’t happen.
On the other
hand, deciding is a very serious issue. It is something that
can affect our self esteem and our dignity because once we
decide then we have to stick to the decision right? And that
is not going to be easy.
Any decision
that you make must be based on sound common sense and in
the case of smoking too, this holds true. I would support
any smokers decision to quit; but my request to every such
prospective quitter is that they should get their facts straight.
The problem is
that if the prospective quitter is not proceeding on the
right track, there is a greater tendency to fail. And once
a person tries and fails, it is going to be all the more
difficult to break the habit.
Making The Actual Decision To Quit
Before we come
to the real decision, we might have to do some serious thinking.
The decision to quit smoking is not something that can hit
your mind in the middle of work. You need to feel composed
and have everything well within your control. You need to
sit and think about it for at least ten minutes. Oh yes,
ten minutes is more than enough time.
You have to remember
what I told you - the odds are all against it. You have to
work really hard to think of a reason to go on smoking because
“the feel good” excuse is just not a good enough argument.
Obviously, you are going to end up feeling terrible - maybe
within the
next couple of months - if you do not break the habit. So
there is absolutely no point in dwelling on temporary pleasures.
What I would
suggest would be to browse through this online guide, an
exercise that would hardly take you ten to fifteen minutes,
and then
sit and think about it for another ten minutes and then hit
the right button (which means take the right decision). Hey,
come on, we’re just talking about half an hour of your time.
Surely anyone can spare half an hour of their time for a
matter of life and death...their own life and death to be
precise.
Right, so now
that we’ve done the serious thinking, all we have to do is
make up our minds. Please remember that it is not the decision
making that is difficult. It is sticking to the decision
that is going to be the difficult part. So go ahead
and make up your mind. Decide once-and-for-all that you are
going to quit smoking for good.
