Things to do when you are sick of smoking

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.

Here is some advice from a smoker of twenty years and a non-smoker of ten.

It doesn't matter if you 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 - the absolute first thing you must realize is that the desire to quit alone is not strong enough for most people - 97% in fact. I know you are desperate. I know you want to quit right now and at this moment, and I feel your pain. But I beg of you, don't do it!

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

Before you attempt to quit, try to remove as much emotion from the process as it is humanly possible. You may be angry emotionally charged at the moment, but you won’t be able to maintain that level of anger or desperation long enough to see you through the quitting process.

Use your reasons instead to help you on your journey to becoming a non-smoker; your emotions will only keep you wound up.

Once you have the information you desire, I encourage you to find a stop smoking program that addresses your concerns about quitting and then purchase it. Whether that is the program I developed or someone else's, it does not matter as long as it appeals to your wants and needs and gives you the resolve to beat this nasty habit.

And, for heaven’s sake, don’t stop here. Once you have got the program, please use it!

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.
