It is easy over time to lose hope in the idea that you can stop smoking - but the truth is that you can accomplish this with the right equipment in hand.
Becoming smoke free is a very difficult feat for most, so trying to quit when you have less stress in your life helps.
Learning to resist whatever it is that leads you to crave a cigarette will help you in the long run, as these triggers will still be there.
Something that may help you is to use a smoker's diary once you make this decision to quit.
You will see in black and white just how much you are smoking every day.
Those facts will help you to get a clue how serious the addiction is.
Maybe you already have some rough idea.
Seeing the bold numbers recorded will help ensure you do not underestimate the impact that the habit has on you.
Another fact that you want to record in your diary is - when are you taking the most smoke breaks? There might be a pattern as to what causes you to light up.
If you have an urge to light up after you eat for example, or maybe the first thing in the morning, you may approach these times in your day with another strategy to prevent that.
Whenever you begin the journey to stop smoking, you will find that keeping yourself busy can help you achieve your goal.
Remaining active and having things to do will help you avoid the quiet moments when you are tempted to think about your addiction to cigarettes.
Some have found that it helps to call up their friends or close family in order to find things to do.
Find other people who used to smoke and they can help you stop smoking as well.
These people can inspire you by showing you it can be done, therefore you remain focused on your goal and realize that you can do it, too.
Try to find others who can relate to where you are at in the process so that you can find helpful suggestions to make it through this difficult process.
If you want to stop smoking soon and you really are serious this time, then you should ensure you have everything you need before you begin.
A key component to your success will be having a great team of people you can lean on.
This supportive network of friends and family will enable you to remain on track and help you at key times.
