What do you do when you are sick of smoking?

By: Darren Warmuth

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.

So here is my 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!

The first step you need to take is to try and remove all emotion from the process. You should treat this clinically. Just as a doctor would look at the problem objectively, diagnose it and treat it accordingly without bringing in any emotion, you need to create a distance between your self and your habit. Your anger or desperation will not see you through the quitting process.

It is important that you write down all the emotions and reasons you want to quit while in this heightened state of awareness, but it is equally important that you only use those reasons to help you on your journey to becoming a non-smoker - not to try and keep yourself wound up.

Based on your reasons for quitting, search the internet for as much useful information as you can find. Fortify your reasons with relevant information because information is power. The more you know about the task at hand, the less hold the nicotine monster will have over you.

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.

Also, look for a stop smoking program that addresses your concerns about quitting and then purchase it. Make sure, it is not the one that makes tall claims; they are not true. Buy the one that appeals to your wants and needs and gives you the determination to beat this nasty habit.

The mind will make hundreds of excuses to tell you that you can start using the program tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes. When it comes, it comes as today, and then you wait for the next day. Always remember, if you don’t start now, you probably won’t start at all. So, get the information you need - order a program - and start using it now.

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.
