Want to Know the Effective Way to Stop Smoking?

We are creatures of impulse, desire, poor long term planning, and all the bad traits that companies rely on to make their sale.  But if you’ve ever made a painful decision to say no to buying something, in exchange for some long term gain, you know that a mature delay in gratification can benefit you.  Opting to save for tuition instead of buying designer jeans is a good example.  So is opting to stick with your crappy-looking  efficient cellular phone, instead of getting a shiny and sleek iPhone.  Making the decision to stop smoking to prevent medical complications from happening to you, and costing you tons of dollars; not to mention preventing you from living a happy, healthy  long life is better than being  slave to a nicotine addiction.

If you’ve been following the logic of the foregoing, then you may have a clear picture of what it takes to stop smoking. The best way to do it is to fully understand what giving it up costs you.  By not taking part in that addictive habit you will end you up with many more benefits than the short span of time that the discomfort, physically, emotionally and mentally, quitting smoking causes.

Will power is the best way. The problem is this method requires your soul to understand, to want to stop smoking altogether.  A pregnant mother decides to quit drugs when the medical checkups show her baby is declining in health while in her womb.  A father goes gambling-sober after his eldest straight-A daughter failed to pay her student loans.  A single mom decides to devote more time at home, and leave her night life, when she notices how much her son needs her.  These could be soul touching reasons to quit smoking

We just need to find our own personal reason.  Then our will power will provide the strength to get us through our nicotine addiction.  It will not be easy.  And those who try to quit may end up relapsing unless they are convinced, to their bones, that they want to quit.  Their reason to quit may not be for themselves, but for the sake of someone else a son, a mother, or a  husband.  When and if a relapse occurs we just have to re-enforce our reason and adjust our will power and start over again.

If one knows that the nicotine drug leaves the system within 72 hours after the last use of tobacco then they can expect their withdrawal cravings and life in general will get better as each day passes without tobacco use.

Those who go through a successful quit smoking process, suffer the pains of withdrawal, and emerge addiction-free, report that they feel like having been a different person than when they had their addiction. Different from the person that emerged from the addiction. Like it was all a bad dream, or memories of a person just trying to make do with their naive worldview.

The thing about quitting smoking through willpower is that you need no rationalizations. You stop smoking because you want to live longer, live better,  live healthier or( insert your own reason here).   You will see your reason(s) as inevitable, as true regardless of what anyone else says to you.  Like a mathematical fact.  True, regardless how much you rationalize against it, complain or whine about it.

You will receive all sorts of discouragement.  Most people have smoking buddies and the media is filled with ads describing life as incomplete without taking a puff.  But these will not hamper you if you know in your bones you want to quit because you have to.  Not want to.  That there are compelling reasons outside one’s selfish circle of reasons that demand you to be better than who you are.

So if you want some non-hypocritical reason to stop smoking.  The very best one is that breaking the nicotine addiction will make you a better person.  There it is.  If you find a better reason use it.   The methods won’t matter as much as long as your will is convinced you have to quit. You will emerge from a successful quit smoking process as a better,healthier, and, yes, a happier person.

Will power along with the proper information can provide an effective way to stop smoking.  Worked for me!!

While I was lucky enough to get the job done through the “cold turkey” quitting method and it is my firm belief that total abstinence from tobacco use is the only way to quit.
