How I got rid of smoking — After 3 decades of smoking habit ?

If you are interested in quitting the cigarettes, this article may be helpful to you, and worth reading, pen downed by me with a 33 years of suffering and struggles to quit it.

Why to wait for an attack or hospitalization or to reach a certain age to stop smoking? Why do you have to wait for a New Year Resolution like another fool? Why do you have to wait for someone who loves you to be after your life to leave it? Don’t you have your own mind or will power?

Whenever you decide to quit smoking, it is the right time to quit.

I have made more than 50 attempts in my life but how and why I started and how I stopped this unwanted habit is the question which will inspire you to the right path.

I started with India Kings and not like other youngsters with cheaper cigarettes, buds or with beedis. I had money and wanted to show off may be the reason never knowing that I was compromising with my health wherein I used to walk for miles, always stood there in the 1st or 2nd position in pole vault, high humps, long jumps and short relays. I have given up smoking when I realized that I am loosing stamina and after a couple of weeks, I started again. Most of the time I was undergoing tensions in my personal life, and most of the time the negative influence of my friends like “ek puff se kuch nahi hota” (one puff will not make any difference), “ek do cigarette peenese kuch nahi hota” (one or two cigarettes in a day will not make any difference) types of dialogues and never noticed that this one or two cigarettes a day took me to almost 40 cigarettes a day.

The more you smoke, the more nicotine content your blood will get used to and you feel like smoking more. Most of the time, I was not smoking because I was addicted, just to kill time.

I remember one day I walked for miles to get a cigarette at mid night and when I didn’t get it, I picked-up someones half extinguished cigarette from the road side and smoked. How pathetic to see me getting addicted to this bad shit. Once I burnt my blanket when I was having a cigarette on my bed. Once I burnt the back seat of my brand new car by throwing the cigarette out of the window. I didn’t notice that the back window of my car was open and the cigarette bud got into the back seat of the car due to reverse wind and burnt it. I used to hold my new born baby in one hand and used to smoke with the other hand. You must be thinking…that addicted…yes, I was. As I told you that I have given up cigarettes more than a dozen times and only this one puff or one or two cigarettes made my life an intolerable hell. I thank my stars for not getting hospitalized for any of the cardiac reasons. But I got gifted with high blood pressure and my sugar level has gone up where I had to take medical help. I noticed that I am unable to run for more than 500 meters and I lost all my stamina wherein I used to perform all those tasks as mentioned earlier.

If you wish to quit smoking, quit it on an evening and never ever touch this shit again in life. You will not be able to do it through someone’s influence but you will have to feel it through your inner self. After leaving the last cigarette, in the evening, do not even try to touch the same again. Nicotine chewing gums are a solution when you feel your nicotine level has gone down and you feel like going mad (it depends on person to person) but never touch the cigarette again and do not start with nicotine chewing gums in advance. Take it when and where you feel lost.

Tell everyone that you have given up smoking and advertise it so that when you feel like smoking, you will think it twice and people think that you have no will power. Always think about the bad things it contributed to your life…bad teeth, fowl smell, fowl breathe, bad health and thunhygienic you.

You may do self hypnosis by taking a few deep breathes again and again till you get control over your subconscious mind and feed the suggestions to your subconscious mind, which sounds best for you like “I will not touch this piece of shit again” “I am confident of myself and have the will power to quit cigarettes” “I got self control and things like cigarettes have no place in my life” “ If others can do it, I can also do it” “I hate the smell of cigarettes and the people who smoke around like an idiot” “I do not want to be dependent on anyone due to my smoking habit”.

Pick up any lines which can convince your inner mind and repeat it again and again like a mantra throughout. If you still do feel that your will power is not enough to fight against cigarette, you have no will power and do not even try it. Be a smoker forever and get ready for the consequences. In case you still want to quit smoking and you need any help, you should contact a qualified Hypnotherapist and 5 sittings will help you to quit smoking if your inner mind wants you to do so.

So whenever you feel like quitting, stop it on an evening and do not wait for the new year resolutions like another fools. Leave it and forget it as said. But if you don’t wish to quit smoking, know this. It’s gross. It’s like licking an ashtray where someone’s smoked pieces of cigarettes are buried.

Smokers enjoy their habit because it stimulates the flow of “feel good” chemicals in the brain, according to a new study involving just a handful of test subjects. The system of the brain affected is the same one that is stimulated by heroin and morphine.

The study is the first to show smoking affects the brain’s natural system of chemicals called endogenous opioids, which also help quell painful sensations and heightening positive emotions, the researchers said in a statement today. The system includes the release of endorphins that produce the oft-sought “runner’s high”.

So to conclude, for you to know, that it is not less than heroine and morphine. So take the right decision, earlier the better.
