Congratulations for taking the first step to a smoke free life. I too am a previous smoker. I started at about 14 and was up to 2 1/2 packs a day. If I went out dirinking I could smoke a carton in a night! I smoked until I was 30 years old.
I tried every way to quit... slowly cutting down, so many per hour, etc. I could make it a while and then always started again. It takes an enormous amount of personal resolve and willpower to quit.
One monring I woke up and after my usual coughing spell I just decided thats it. I crushed my pack and destroyed all cigarettes left in the carton. Threw away my lighter and was done. That was 15 years ago.
The power of positive thinking is something that can overcome anything. I would go to bed every night and tell myself all the things I am grateful for in my life. One of the things would be that I quit smoking. When I woke up, the first thing I would do is remind myself of all the things I am grateful for to include quitting smoking. Picture in your mind how good you feel, how clean you smell, and how proud you are of your accomplishment. Throughout the day, every time you get the urge to have a cigarette simply tell yourself of all the things in your life you are grateful for to include the fact that you quit smoking. The more you do this the easier it will become.
I do this for everything in my life and you will be suprised at how your life begins to change. There is just to much negative energy in our society. Give it a shot!
