As we say goodbye to addictions such as smoking, it is very important to remember that giving up cigarettes at a certain moment is not as difficult as holding on afterwards and not coming back again. Scientists have been studying the nature of smoking for many years, and if we consider all their findings, we can say that smoking has a lot in common with addiction, but first of all, it is a habit that is not so easy to overcome.
Tune in to a long struggle with yourself and most importantly - remember that after a couple of months, after a complete rejection of cigarettes, you will learn this world in a new way, you will discover new smells and tastes. And you will also feel freedom, independence from this weakness of yours.
Drink water. Be sure to keep track of how much water you drink. This will help you to remove toxins from the body, clean the lungs and cope with the desire to smoke.
Do not interrupt one dependency another. Try not to seize the desire to smoke sweets, snacks or any other food. Your task is to cope with addiction, and not to get another one. But remember that a complete rejection of cigarettes may be accompanied by mild nausea and increased salivation. This is a normal reaction of the body. At such moments, you can take a little candy, preferably mints or ginger, but it is important to monitor their quantity.
Instead of smoking... By quitting smoking, you realize how much free time you have. You used to fill all these “commercial breaks” with a smoke break, but what to do now? Find something to do. You can go in for sports in the 10 minutes that you previously spent on a smoke break. This will distract from the desire to smoke and at the same time insist on a healthy mood. In addition, moderate physical activity improves the exchange of fluids in the body - and the lungs are cleared faster.
Try not to drink alcohol. Drinking alcoholic beverages, we open a gap for our desires and old habits. Most returns to the cigarette occurred after a glass of whiskey. Try not to drink at least in the first most difficult 3 of the week.
Visualize your victory over habit. Calculate how much you will save by stopping smoking and tell yourself to buy something desired and important for you after 3 a month or six months without cigarettes. You can put a piggy bank in which you will throw $ 10 for each day without cigarettes.
Look for support. Find a friend who can call at any time of the day to tell you how difficult and difficult it is. Look for a friend who, at a difficult moment, will not give you a lighter, but will calm and distract.
Not a single cigarette. Only a complete rejection of cigarettes will allow to say goodbye to the habit. Just a 1 cigarette can get you back to your starting point. And you have to go through the whole process again.
Avoid cigarette companies. In the first weeks of 3 after giving up cigarettes, you will be painfully aware of the urge to smoke, so you should not torture yourself. Just try to avoid smoking areas and smoking companies. After a month's 3, you start to smell cigarette smoke differently. And he will no longer seem so alluring. But even then, remember that passive smoking also harms human health.
Work breaks. If your job is to go out for a smoke break, discuss some important working moments or corporate gossip that you cannot refuse, then try to go out with a cup of tea or coffee. This will help you take your hands and thoughts so as not to ask for a 1 cigarette for yourself.
Remind the reasons. Each of us has our own reasons to quit smoking and our own goal. Know that on this difficult path of giving up a bad habit, you will have thoughts that the goal is not so important, that it may not be worth it. Therefore, always remind yourself of the importance of your goal and never go astray. Remember that this fight is for many years. Scientists say that it will take as long as a person was addicted to cigarettes to completely break the habit. Tune in - and every morning go out and discover the world anew. When you beat the habit, a whole new world of smells, tastes and colors will open up.
