Ways To Stop Smoking
- Mindset: to stop smoking, you'll really have to make up your mind if you mean to stop. now your mind is made up on quitting smoking. you can do anything but not everything. stopping smoking is one thing any smoker can do because you weren't born with the habit, its just something you started on your own or by peer pressure. quitting smoking is easy but not as easy as starting it.
- Avoid friends that smoke or places you're likely to smoke: this is really important . avoiding friends that smokes doesn't mean you should avoid them totally, just give them some distance. avoid going to places where you normally mean to smoke. trying to quit smoking is in vain if you still hangout with your fellow smokers. try mixing up with non-smokers that see smoking as a risk to their health.
- Avoid being idle/lonely: lonely and idleness can make you go back to your dropped habit . always be in the midst of friends or try to keep yourself positively busy by reading or playing one of your favorite games.
- Talk to a friend: try talking to a friend will help you stop the habit. tell him/her you want to stop the smoking and you're never going back. you should only talk to a friend who has been against your smoking habit and someone that believes and trusts you. make a vow to someone dear to you who has kicked against your smoking habit, by doing this, it makes you feel like you owe him/her something and can not afford to let them down.
- pray:the ultimate of them all and the easiest. just believe in God and what you ask of him and it will happen. if all seems to fail, this medium can never fail you. no matter who/what you are, you just need to believe and ask through Jesus and he will never fail you.amen.
