I am really sure I want to give up smoking and have set the date for tomorrow!! Any advice?

I have given up lots of times before and, obviously failed!!! I have a young son and really want to do it this time. Have tried every single trick in the book from acupuncture to hypnotherapy to NHS counelling... this is my second attempt using the Allen Carr 'Easy' method. I am really looking for a bit of final advice and words of support, especially from ex smokers. Wish me luck... I really want to do it this time!!!!!!!!I am really sure I want to give up smoking and have set the date for tomorrow!! Any advice?
1) as you got into it (one cigarette at a time), get out....one at a time. i.e. cut back, THEN stop completely!





2) instead o' thinkin' you have to quit forever, set your goal to quittin' for one day....then, for a couple o' days....and work your way up to stoppin' for always





3) no negativity! don't say ';i've failed';. say, ';i've succeeded in not smokin' all mornin'!'; and keep thinkin' in that manner.





4) thank your spirit guides for helpin' you. love WILL find a way! :)





5) ask your young son to help you. tell him that his support is important to you...which it IS! :) tell him to be your cheer leader and that his words o' encouragement and praise are so helpful to you...which they ARE! :)I am really sure I want to give up smoking and have set the date for tomorrow!! Any advice?
I gave up in June 2007 and have a couple of techniques that worked for me, may work for you too,


1) Break the 'first of the day habit'. I used to light up whilst reading my newspaper in the car just before going into work. I stopped that by just parking up and going straight in.


2) Go for a walk or a cycle ride after your evening meal.


3) Have a long lazy soak in the bath.


4) Keep a diary. Every time i felt like a ciggie i would write something about how i was dealing with the craving at that moment, they're fun to read back later.





Most important is to keep in mind all the really good reasons for giving up. Your health obviously, protecting your son from the effects of passive smoking and the vast amounts of money you'll save.


You've already said you really want to give up, so do it, you know you can.


Good luck.
-Get your son to write you a letter or draw a picture saying all the reasons he wants you to quit


-Write post-it notes saying motivational stuff


-Take a picture of your son and put it in all your ashtrays. You don't want to stub a cigarette out on a picture of your son, do you?


-Call helplines


-Find something else you enjoy to take your mind off smoking





Remember, it's only you that can make you quit. You know you can do it, or you wouldn't be trying :]





GOOD LUCK, you can do it!

This will keep you motivated throughout. My friend was chain smoker and he quit. He use to say, just be mentally strong and you can do it. Here are some tips that helped him:

Tomorrow morning ,after about 10 minutes ,you will get a tiny prompt to smoke.How you handle this FIRST prompt, message, or voice ,call it what you like, determines your success or faliure.Be looking forward to it coming ,as it undoubtedly will, and have your answer ready ,because you are going to give it a piece of your mind, in no uncertain fashion. Shout scream swear at this voice in your most foul tongue , in the same way that you would if a thug had entered your home, and wanted to destoy your lives .Shout out loud ';get out of my life ,dont you ever dare to come back,and dont even think about trying to make me smoke, because i will never never give in to you'; I am sure you can think of more to tell him .I am stressing this first time , because the voice ,or cravings, are just like a fly that is buzzing around . No good putting up with him,it is painful.No good shooshing him away ,he'll only come back, no good avoiding him .You have to SQUASH him once and for all. Hope i have made my point. Now, you asked for support .Good because this is so important. From what i have seen you will get about 20 replies. E mail them all tomorrow, I bet they will be only too pleased to encourage you so with your strength and yahoos support you cannot , and will not fail. goodnight and good luck
