Real smoking cessation experiences shared by netizens
Rely on oneself and firmly believe.
Actually, I have always had a strong aversion to smoking, but due to the emptiness, boredom, and laziness during my university years, I quickly became a loyal member of the vast number of smokers. After graduation, it has been going on, basically one package a day. Subsequently, after multiple dissuasions from my parents, I finally decided to quit smoking. Calculate the appearance of smoking for approximately 6 to 7 years. Of course, at the beginning, I tried multiple times but failed, mainly due to a lack of firm belief and inability to resist temptation. However, the failure ended, and after multiple failures, I once again became ruthless (in fact, to tell you, it was my girlfriend's aversion to smoking at the time, which was the source of motivation and belief power). So, first of all, we need to rely on ourselves, firm beliefs, and perseverance are the foundation of success.
Rely on others and family members to supervise.
Besides relying on oneself, it's not enough. When you can't hold on to yourself, you have to rely on others. In fact, as mentioned earlier, the support and supervision of girlfriends have played a very positive role. At the same time, the supervision of my parents at home was also indispensable. When my parents heard this idea, they were all kinds of happy and selfless supporters of me, and the momentum at that time was actually quite frightening. So, relying on oneself and others to form a three-dimensional smoking cessation model.
Caution: Supervision cannot rely on friends, especially those who smoke.
When it comes to relying on others, I also want to give a special account of my failure experience, which is that I cannot rely on second-rate friends, especially those who smoke. They will tempt you in various ways and lure you back into the water when you are about to succeed. You have no strength to fight back, really not. Do you have this kind of experience. Just one piece, just one piece "is completely ruined.
Adopt a step-by-step approach and gradually reduce.
If someone says, 'I'm going to quit smoking, starting from tomorrow, I won't smoke a single cigarette.' Smokers know that this type of person is the most untrustworthy, and within a few days, they will see them smoking in many corners. Ah, because I used to be this kind of person now, talking too much is like tears. At most, I can hold it for half a day, and then I feel like I want to work overtime until late at night. After smoking, I run to the streets and buy cigarettes everywhere at around 3am, but I can't find them. I feel so anxious, don't I. From then on, every time you work overtime, prepare well beforehand. So, the scientific way to quit smoking is to gradually reduce it and gradually proceed. For people like us who have been smoking for many years, suddenly not smoking at all is not good for our body and mind. My previous arrangement was as follows: 1 day/package -->2 days/package -->4 days/package -->1 week/package -->2 weeks/package -->January/package. The next step is basically to become a Dim sum. The time ahead is longer, and each transition takes a long time. I am a girl friend who buys cigarettes from me and sends them to me every day/every two days/every week. My girl friend is very caring, is there any.
Try to minimize the time spent alone, as smoking addiction is most likely to occur when alone.
Looking at what I mentioned earlier, it seems like they are all very relaxed, right. In fact, otherwise, there will always be smokers, which is very painful, especially when one is alone, which is particularly easy to commit. I believe this feeling is the same. So, try not to spend too much time alone as it is better.
Try to stay away from smoking places.
The staircase entrance of our company's bathroom is a smoking spot, where colleagues smoke and chat every day. Once upon a time, I was one of them, thinking about how nourishing and happy those times were. Every time I pass by that place, I feel a strong urge to smoke. We can't afford to provoke or hide, so try to stay away from smoking places as much as possible.
When addicted to smoking, doing distractions must be done by multiple people together.
Let's talk about the time when smokers are addicted. When it's very strong, it's always when they're alone, at least I'm like that (and of course, when I'm with former and current smokers). At this point, finding something to distract your attention is ineffective. Any activity you do alone, such as listening to music, watching TV, taking a walk, or whatever, can make your smoking addiction even stronger. It is important to find someone to do something together to distract your attention, especially to supervise your family or friends. Once you see someone like this, the effect is just right, believe me. Drink more water and exercise more.
Drinking more water and exercising more is not only necessary for quitting smoking, but also has a positive effect on quitting smoking and improving physical fitness. Especially for the respiratory system, when exercising, there will be a noticeable feeling when you smoke less. Here, throughout the process of quitting smoking, I have developed a good habit that is still ongoing, which is to wake up one hour early every morning, go for a run for half an hour, take a shower at home, and then go to work. I am energetic and comfortable.
The aids for quitting smoking, such as chewing gum and e-cigarettes, vary from person to person.
Finally, let's talk about some other methods. I think this may be related to personal preferences, but it doesn't have much effect on the actual smoking cessation effect. For example, when addicted to smoking, eating gum, smoking e-cigarettes, and so on, I don't have much effect. I haven't bought e-cigarettes before, and I have eaten chewing gum without feeling much. So, in the end, relying on one's firm beliefs and the supervision of family members, those who truly care about you, as well as scientific smoking cessation methods, a gradual process, and perseverance is the most effective. If you want to quit smoking, believe in yourself, you can definitely do it.
