I post my first comment (or rather first thoughts) when i saw
the topic
Then i reliase there some pple here who actually wan to quit,
but find it hard
Something which i never mention in my first post, i try quitting
alot of time during my 10 years of smoking, but always i stop like
1-2 week (the max) i m back again........
but this time round, i guess i can finally stop. cos it few
month le since i last tough a cigar...
No reason to quit smoking is not a reason.
it a lame excuse just because u dun wan to try or u have no
intention to stop at all.
Smoking keep u awake is another lame reason (which i been
telling myself this since i smoke, lol)
smoking made u look cool is a damn damn childish reason, lol,
only ah beng/lian can say tat haha
For those who really determine to stop.... my advise, jus
stop
throw all ur lighter away, avoid shop selling cigar (if ur will
power not tat strong)
if u wan train ur will power, stay with frenz who smoke, then
when they smoke, u dun smoke. stay with them, and train ur will
power not to give in. (this is wat i do before also, as my
colleague, customer are mostly smoker :( )
ermm
maybe another reason force me stop is medical problem, i went
for a check up cos i feel bad during my RT, and found out
i have hypertension, and heavy smoking is one of the possible
reason of cause according to doctor.
mix more with friend who dun smoke (like i mention in my
previous post) Try not to be alone, as normally when alone, u
tend to crave for smoke (my experience). If got gf/bf who dun
smoke, they can be ur motivation to stop smoking. Nobody
would like their partner to smoke. It stink really. smoker
dun feel so, but non-smoker know it.
and also, think of the money u cna save
about 1 week no smoke, u will see the difference in ur
money.
if u endure for 1 month, u should be able to stop already
initially is tough, really very tough, i been though it, so i
know.
the day are hard to pass without smoking.
but when u get use to it, everything will become normal.
and u will find everything is the same again, except that u no
longer smoke
some pple who can endure for 1 week will be able to stop, some
need longer time
as long as u can endure for 2-3 day without smoke, u should be
able to stop smoking.
drink more water, eat sweet, if u have craving, eating some dim
sum, snack, etc might help.
try not to drink beer
if u wish to, might want to try stop coffee/tea also.
For me i cannot go without coffee, but i manage to stop smoking
without stopping coffee, some pple might not be able to do it.
try not to talk about smoking in any conversation, it might
help.
for those need help or need more advice, i dun mind helping u if
i can.
U can msn me [email protected] or email
[email protected]
i am not a professional consultant or doctor or advisor, but i
can share with u my experience and hope it can help u to stop
smoking
But, if u decide to carry on, then carry on ba, it ur money
n life :P
