How To Prepare Yourself Before A Smoking Cessation
The most important part of the preparation for you quit your cigarettes is to be mentally ready. It is pointless to think that you should stop smoking if you're not ready for it.
While you mentally prepare yourself, make sure to take appropriate action against the physical withdrawal symptoms that come because of the lack of nicotine.
If you are like most people, willpower alone will not do it. You will probably need a little help. Today there is a lot of products, there will remove the worst withdrawal symptoms (e.g. Nicotinell and Nicorette).
Nicotine plaster and nicotine chewing gum are the two most popular nicotine products. Other options are nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray and nicotine tablets.
When you smoke, it is probably often more a matter of habit than a desire. So do you really want that cigarette at the bus stop or after lunch? Or has it just become a really bad habit?
If you look critically at situations, where you light a cigarette, you can reduce your consumption significantly. Then you will take a deliberated choice, when you smoke.
What do you dream about? Can you afford it? If not, you might if you can spend your money there instead of on cigarettes.
Give yourself (or maybe your family) a reward, when haven't smoked for a week, a month, a year etc. Thereby you have a great motivation to continue to fight, when everything seems a little hopeless.
A smoking cessation piggy bank can be a great way to make the reward present. Every evening you put the money, which you normally would have spent on cigarettes, in the piggy bank. Then you can see the result; and soon you will be able to break it and go on a nice vacation.
Before you get started with your smoking cessation, it might be a good idea to write your thoughts down. Why would you stop, what do you think will be the hardest part etc.
Then you can find encouragement and new motivation in the writings, when the crisis hits you; and sooner or later it will. A quit smoking diary might also be a good idea. Here you can confess all your ups and downs in complete confidence.
