We don't smoke anymore so what will You do instead?
Make this Quit your OWN!
Why do you want this quit? The answer to this question will help you answer the instead question! Quitting isn't about giving up - it's about embracing Smoke FREE Abundant Living - Your LIFE!
Finding your motivation is key. We can tell you what our motivations are but you have to find your own! What is your reason for living? Because, yes, this is a Life and Death matter! You not only EXtend the Quantity of Life ( number of Years) but you EXtend the Quality of Life - Addiction FREE! You have time (actually lots of time) you gave to your Addiction! You have richer relationships not based on or handicapped by Addiction. You have your True Self!
By putting special meaning into it the Determination and Focus are increased and the struggle decreases! You are creating a new set of beliefs about Life itself not based on your "need" for a FIX!
A significant quit date adds motivation to hold onto your Quit! I chose the first day of Spring - yours could be a Holiday or a Family celebration day - any day that you feel a powerful motivation to honor!
Visualizing what you the EXsmoker looks like also motivates you. Who do you really want to become? I doubt Addict is on that list! Follow your Values - they hold the secret to who's under that smoke cloud!
What might you do as an Exer? With all of that spare time, how will you use it? That's something nobody remembered to tell me about and I came in unprepared! That can lead to boredom and boredom is a trigger! Have a PLAN!
Use the time between decision and Special Date to prepare! Get to know yourself , the Smoker, pay attention to your habits attached to smoking, think about letting go of all of those habits at once. When you let go it helps to have something else in it's place! What will that be for YOU?
You get to decide who you will become!
