Smoking - the brief pleasure that kills. Some day you WILL decide to quit. You know that. When will it be, today or years from now?
What is holding you back from quitting? One thing: FEAR. Fear of failure. Fear that you will fail and then be even more unlikely to ever kick the habit.
What is the antidote to fear? Knowledge. "Know thy enemy" is an age-old military truism, which is applicable here. Don't even think of quitting, until you have a quitting plan. A solid, reasonable plan that has worked for others.
The thing is, what works for one person may not work for you. So part of your plan should be, no MUST be, Plan B. That's right, a second, different stop smoking program.
That way Plan A cannot truly fail, as it is just a warm up, a trial balloon for Plan B. So you just go whole-heartedly into Plan A. Want it to work, will it to work, make it work. And it will. For a while. Maybe forever, but we don't care, because we're covered.
If you find yourself with a lit cigarette in your mouth in a few days or months, that's okay. Congratulate yourself. You've succeeded for X number of days, you've improved your health, you've learned something about yourself and your habit, you've eliminated most of all of the toxins from your system.
It is the next step that is CRITICAL! Put that cigarette out immediately. You have not "relapsed" or become a smoker again.
It is just time to put Plan B into place. And this time will be much easier, without all those withdrawal symptoms. Grab your nonsmoking notes, order whatever product or service you have selected, and ... pick a Plan C.
You see the pattern? Always be one step ahead of the tobacco habit.
You will never run out of Plans to try. Since each one is preceded by longer and longer periods of nonsmoking time, balanced against just one partially smoked cigarette, it just keeps getting easier.
There are all sorts of stop smoking programs to choose from:
* herbal concoctions
* medical drugs
* hypnosis
* self-hypnosis
* gums
* patches
* teas
* aromatherapy
And that list barely scratches the surface. Plus within each category there will be other options which fully qualify as a new non-smoking Plan.
So do a little research, pick your programs, and get started. With the Endless Stop Smoking System you truly cannot fail.
Here's to your happy, healthy, smoke-free future.
