I Want to Quit Smoking

On My Way

By: Gemzaayy

Written on November 25th, 2012

This is kinda the first step for me... Ive been smoking since I was 13 and recently Ive been smoking wayyyy too much. I dont work so theres basically nothing stopping me lighting up whenever... and its got stupid.

So after some 'persuading' by my partner and realising what its costing... money and health... Im doing something about it!!!

Basically Im cutting what I smoke in half to start off then a bit more hopefully later on and eventually I will give the bloody things up altogether.

Its very hard. Its actually scarey how addicted I am...Ive stopped before so I know its difficult but its really shocked me. Normally I have a cig when I feel like it and actually forcing myself to wait plus smoking half what I have been has made me feel really c rappy and stressed.

BUT Im gonna do this I dont care how hard it is.

Try this,it has helped me.When you feel like smoking,just take out a cigarette,light it up and smoke but become aware and at the same time enjoy the smoke,don't do anything else except smoke and just watch and smoke.Don't simply smoke whenever the urge is there,it becomes unconscious,just remain conscious in your smoking.See what happens then.good luck.

Good Job Gemz. I am on your side especially when you want to quit for you and your family. Replace your cigarette smoking with something positive if you can. Ive heard that helps.

good luck, i'm also quitting and yes it's hard but determination is everything. go down to a reasonable number of smokes and replace the ones you dont by exercise or gum etc.

I quit several times and now its been 12 yrs since my last cig. It was always hard when I drink. I'd have a cig in one hand and a drink in the other. I hated the smell and taste. I now feel so much better. good luck

Praying it is not a difficult thing for you Gemz. That it will be like nothing....one day you just won't have any thought of it. And that will be it. I ask for this to be done, in Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

  Ok if you so let me know and ill send you to a couple of the sites that I found that were better than others. As the hypnotist does make a difference. Or isochronics work well too.
