What are some strategies that have HELPED YOU to quit smoking ? Im going to need all the advice I can get? -
I used to smoke about 25 cigarettes daily, in the weekends even double.
One day I just told myself it-s too much and I thought about reducing them gradually, with the final purpose to quit smoking. I planed to smoke the first week no more than 15 cigarettes daily and reduce every week another 5 cigarettes/day.
This didn-t help me. I needed more than 15 cigarettes / day and some days I couldn-t abstain myself from smoking even more than I smoked usually.
What really helped me quit smoking was my decision to stop immediately. No more cigarettes, no more -reducing strategies-.
I remember it was Monday. The first days were awful and I expected to be this way. I slept a lot the first 2 days, my energy level was very low, I had headaches and I was only thinking a cigarette could make me feel better.
But no. I resisted the temptation and after first week things were straighten up. I must tell you that I still felt the desire to smoke months after I quit.
The temptation is big, so you need to have a good motivation.
Mine was -my health-, at which I didn-t thought too much in the past.
Good luck.
