Quit Smoking By
Tonight, Medication-Free
As time goes by, and prices of packs steadily
rise, it's becoming more and more obvious that quitting
smoking is a good decision. I smoked for 10 years, at
some points atl east a pack a day, until one day I
decided I'd just had enough. I haven't puffed on a
cigarette or even had an urge to in several months, and I
did it on my own. No patches, no pills, just a
clean break. Quitting cold turkey, as many of
you may already know, is a really hard thing to do if you
don't put your all into it. I had tried a few years back,
but got back into it after a short time. I've found with
the proper support and mind-set, anyone
can kick the nasty habit, leading to an all around
healthier and more enjoyable lifestyle.
If you are interested in quitting smoking
without the help of medication or nicotine patches, I know of a
few different resources to help you on your journey, one in
particular that I personally used to quit virtually
immediately. One program that I have heard wonderful reviews on
in my research is "Fresh Start", which uses a combination of
simple online hypnosis (not as scary as it sounds), incredibly
effective breathing techniques, and supportive audio sections
and booklets. From what I've heard, this program works
incredibly well, and produces results for many people. You can
read more at http://quitsmoking.freshstartmethod.com/.
The program that I became a success story
from was "Quit Yesterday", which teaches you how to eliminate
your desires mentally. You'd be surprised how much your own
thought process prevents you from quitting once you get into
that "smoker's frame of mind". When you can break those mental
habits the proper way, cigarettes really lose all their appeal.
I can vouch for this, because after going through the steps, I
really have not had any desire to light up ever again. I'm
actually really grossed out by cigarettes now to be honest.
Peter Jeffries, creator of the program, diagrams exactly how
you can quit smoking in the most clean and effective way; no
cravings, no stress, no anxiety, no medication, just a proper
mental approach. In theory, I owe my life, and a heck of alot
of my money I would've wasted on packs, to this program. If
you're a little skeptical of the breathing methods/personal
hypnosis tactics that Fresh Start offers, I fully recommend
giving Quit Yesterday a shot. You can find their program at
www.quityesterday.com.
Whether you've tried and failed before,
or just woke up and decided it was time to quit smoking, you've
made a great decision. Quitting can be an incredibly
straining on the mind and body if not done correctly, and
frankly most of those patches and other more medical solutions
cause more problems then they're worth. Try out the
methods I suggested, and drop that cigarette for good. Your
family and friends will thank you, your lungs will thank you,
your teeth will thank you, and your wallet will thank you among
other things. I wish you the best of luck in your
efforts!
