giving up smoking with will power

[Spikeman]

I find people who are told to give up or told that they have to give up are the ones that are least likely to succeed. Will power is enough for everyone. It is just a matter of the individuals perception of their reasons for giving up. Focus on not so much that you are giving up but on things like "everyday my health will improve if I don't poison myself with chemicals and tobaco". The most empowering phrase of all time "everyday in everyway I am getting stronger and better than before"

EDIT. Have been tempted to have a cig but choose not to

 

[Spikeman]

nice to hear m8 - just remember the very first cig you had and how disgusting it was when you coughed your guts up for the first time and got that headache - because every cigarette you have will taste just like the very first now.

i know it's cheesy - i used to see each day as a new record! 15 days without one... 16 days... made me even more determined not to go back to zero!

Have you had a drink yet? That was the ultimate test for me. If you can have a drinj without cracking then in my opinion, youve made it
