Please Help!

If you’ve tried several times before and you just keep going back to your old habits in just a few days, maybe you need to do a different approach.

 

 

Maybe you need to do it slowly. Creating a quit smoking journal will help you address all the challenges that come with quitting smoking. You could look at these challenges to make a more viable action plan. Every person is different so don’t be hard on yourself if you know someone who quit in just couple of days.

 

 

What’s great about keeping a journal is that it is tailored to your specific needs. Write down everything including your triggers and how you usually deal with your cravings. Try doing activities that you really enjoy to distract yourself and write them down in your journal.

 

 

Other smokers blog about their experience so they can share their struggles, helping other people who are in the same process. Blogger and WordPress are good platforms and they are absolutely FREE. ..actually, this was the approach I took...and it was quite helpful. I started a blog (http://myimhacks.com/stop-smoking/) which kept me occupied to the point of forgetting I needed a puff :). It feels liberating!
