have your wife children or any other relative set up a calender for you. For each day, In the day's box you put an x or a check-mark. The x means you are doing it more and the check means your doing it less.

First you have to work out why you smoke and why you want to stop. The big thing is you can't stop for anyone else, it has to be because you want/need to. A recovering smoker is just the same as a recovering gambler or a recovering alcoholic. You have to analyse what makes you smoke. If it happens, say, when you go for a drink, stay out of the bar. You have to break the association. Don't hang around the smokers area at work. If stress is the trigger use strategies to reduce the amount of stress; analyse the situations when stress occurs and work to minimise it. Use patches/ false cigarettes etc., whatever helps. Never smoke immediately before bed, after sex or first thing in the morning. If you smoke after a meal, have a piece of fruit instead. There will be a tendency to comfort eat. Take more exercise; reclaim those stairs that 3 packs a day prevented you from scaling. Exercise releases endorphins in the brain which have a similar effect on your mood as nicotine does. If you are offered a cigarette say, "No thank you, I don't want to smoke just now." This is a strategy you can use even when you think you have quit, just keep saying, "I don't want a cigarette yet." Be prepared to feel nauseous when your nose starts working properly again and you smell stale smokers. Put the money you save in a high interest account. The biggest problem you will then face is what to spend it on. That, and apologizing to your loved ones for the years you made them and their environment smell bad.

Quit Smoking for Good?

There are a lot of ways to quit smoking for good. One important way is to try to find local groups that can help you quit smoking, and supporters. A few other things is to slowly ease off of it. Try cutting down by 2 every day until you can quit smoking or good. Chewing gum, and snacking on vegetables and fruits is a good way to quit smoking also. If it is too hard for you, then you can always go to a doctor and see what medications you can get on to help you kick the habit.
