Choose a date within the next two or three weeks to quit. Having a deadline makes it easier to plan how you will handle the people, places and situations that make you want to smoke. Try to choose a time that is not particularly stressful. But don-t wait forever for the -perfect- day - pick a quit date now and work with it.
Chosen one or more proven quit-smoking methods
Your chances of success are greater if you combine quit methods like counselling, self-help guides, the patch and other medicines. Learn more about methods to help you quit smoking. Choose the methods that will work best for you. It also helps to:
List your reasons for quitting - health, family, money
Write down the things that can replace smoking: healthy alternatives like exercise, or a new hobby
Speak with friends, family, and colleagues who can give you support. Tell them about your plan to quit, so it feels more real to you
Start making the lifestyle changes that will support your plan - leave cigarettes at home when you go out, remove the ashtrays from your home
Consider joining a support group. Some people find it helpful to talk to others who are also trying to quit. Contact your provincial Lung Association to find a support group in your community.
Work your plan
It-s your quit date. Be firm that you won-t smoke.
Review your plan often. Knowing how you-re going to handle the urge to smoke will help you better cope with cravings
Avoid those people and situations where you will be tempted to smoke
Go for a walk instead of a smoke.
Find a hobby that keeps your hands and mind busy
Clean your teeth, your clothes, your house of that stale tobacco smell
Be positive. You are choosing to be smoke-free
Celebrate your success
Believe in yourself and your plan
Understand that it takes time to re-learn smoke-free habits
Remember, that quitting is a process, not an event
Though your recovery begins within hours of your last smoke, it takes at least three weeks to make a new habit. Don-t be discouraged if you slip. It-s part of the process. You are not a failure. Review your plan and ask yourself how you can do it differently next time.
Reward yourself
The one thing I read once is that your cravings only last about 3 minutes at a time 10-15 times the first couple of days. Each day gets easier.
Good luck mate!Hope you don-t have lung cancer.
