7 Helpful Thoughts to Help You Quit Smoking

You’re very much aware of all the bad things about smoking. However, as a smoker, you know as well that it’s not that easy to get out of the habit of smoking. Once you’re in, there’s no way out except a long and difficult path. That is why it is not very surprising to know that lots of smokers fail to quit. And the successful few even made several attempts before they finally quit.  Experts suggest that proper mind set and motivation helps smokers overcome nicotine cravings and the symptoms of smoking cessation treatments.

Below are 7 helpful thoughts to help you quit smoking:

 1. I’m helping myself.

You may want to keep this in mind, more than anyone else, the first person who benefits from giving up smoking is you. The moment you stopped puffing smoke into your lungs, your body starts to recover. Every time you’re tempted to light a cigarette think of the favor your doing to yourself. Think of the great things you can do if you enjoy good health.

2. I love my family.

If you smoke, the first people to suffer are your family. Imagine yourself bed ridden because of a lung cancer. Can you imagine the faces of your love ones, seeing you being eaten by death? If you love your family, you won’t bring them into that situation. You may want to think of them every time your cravings kick off.

3. I don’t want my kids to smoke.

Among the triggers of smoking among youth is seeing their parents smoke. Kids act what they see. If you’re on the bridge of lighting a cigarette or not you may want to think about your kids. Think about diseases and illnesses they can get from smoking if they get hooked. If you love them you can quit smoking.

4.  I’m getting my life back.

Smoking robs you of your life. Because of smoking you are unable to enjoy playing with your kids in the park. Your wife nags at you every night. You lost your social life. You may want to think of the things you want to take back, every time you feel giving up and succumb to your nicotine cravings. Think of the lost time with your kids, the good relationship with your partner and how things will be better for you if you give up smoking.

5.  I want to have a happy relationship with my partner.

If you and your partner quarrel every night because of your smoking habit, you may want to make it as your motivation to succeed in your smoking cessation adjustment. If you really love your spouse and you want to save your relationship you won’t light that cigarette. A pack of cigarette may keep you warm through the night but it can’t love you back.

6.  I want to be a better me.

If you succeed in your smoking cessation, you’ll be a lot better than your previous self. You’ll be happier and healthier both physical and psychological aspects. You may want to keep in mind, what you’re going through during your cessation treatment are just challenges you need to overcome to transcend and to become a better you for your family and yourself. 

7.  I’m doing the environment a favor.

Research reveals that smokers around the world throw around 4 trillion cigarette butts in the environment and it stays there from 18 months to 10 years. Just imagine the impact it causes the environment.
