Ho...This is not fair coming from me(a non smoker). However, owning a cigarette shop that sells 7500 packs a week for close to 20 years, I have had endless conversations with those struggling with quitting. The most consistant success comes in a rather logical method. At 50 cigarettes a day(350 a week) you have a great place to start. On a calender write 350 all the way across this week in big numbers. Make a goal of say 315 for the next week. This means only cutting out 10% of what you smoke. Keep smoking during stress, or while drinking, and the other major factors. However, cut out a few during unneccesary times, like while driving. By cutting out situations and seeing the numbers on your calender, psychologically you are realizing the lack of neccesity, and voiding the system of major withdrawals(which will eventually lead you to start back up). Good luck, I know its hard because I hear it 100 times a day.Hilton's Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333275128822787537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218751145603922472.post-11993277696455284902011-03-05T10:13:40.127-05:002011-03-05T10:13:40.127-05:00Good luck Hannable. I know how hard it is, it too...Good luck Hannable. I know how hard it is, it took me 3 times to try quitting before I finally was able to and by the way I was 34 years old when I finally quit. I won't kid you, it was extremely hard, but now after all these years I really don't think there is anything in the world that would make me smoke another cigarette. I love you and wish you the best!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254961532392396074noreply@blogger.com
