A Great Plan To Quit Smoking
Many times the decision to quit smoking is made in haste, usually fueled by anger or frustration. How many people angrily or disgustedly crush a pack of cigarettes in their hands and throw the pack out a window? It is an impulse and many times the person is stops to buy more cigarettes when the reality of the situation sets in.
A lot can be accomplished with anger or the energy built up over time with the frustration of living with a tobacco addiction. It’s okay to be angry and to vent your frustration. We don’t need to go into the many ways tobacco companies lied and manipulated for years, it is sufficient to say many smokers are justified in their anger. Justified or not, the real question is, what are you going to do to help yourself?
You’d love to quit smoking, great! But you may not know exactly how to go about it. There is help, you know. Many people have quit smoking and you can learn from their experiences. There are also organizations that offer free advice as well, like the Lung Association, for instance.
As a clinical hypnotherapist I learned a lot by watching the many inventive ways people dealt with their smoking problem. One thing I can tell you is that the ones who were the most successful had a plan and had talked to an expert or other people who had kicked the habit.
The most important point I could make would be the old saying, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” My smoking cessation clients who were the most successful had thought about their smoking problem and made plans for how they would deal with different situations that made them smoke more. A plan doesn’t have to be elaborate, but it does have to identify your strengths and weaknesses and have steps you can take to manage both. If you’re going to put the effort into quitting smoking, then you deserve a fighting chance. Give yourself a plan.
