Medical Video: Does smoking the whole pack help you quit smoking?
"I can smoke just this once! Only tonight I will smoke and tomorrow I will stop again. "
Sounds familiar? The thought of smoking naturally occurs when you experience "nicotine" symptoms. Your mind can try your best to convince you to smoke only once.
Don't let that mind overwhelm you; this is normal in the recovery process from nicotine addiction. Promise not to pay attention to the mind and focus only on the day in front of you.
Don't worry about tomorrow, about not going to smoke again. Just think about how to get through today without smoking.
Addictive cliches can appear suddenly, and your mind will try to rationalize that smoking is okay. This is a symptom of addiction and habits that talk to you, trying to get your attention.
Guard your mind
Use a list of reasons to stop smoking and remind yourself why you stopped and how far you have stopped. Don't think you have succeeded so you can smoke and stop again easily. People who return to smoking generally spend years returning to quit.
If you really think about going back to smoking, take some time to think about the following question.
- Why did I stop smoking?
- How long have I been a smoker?
How long have I been free of cigarettes? - How long does it take to be free of smoking?
- If I go back to smoking, will I stop again?
- How long will I stop smoking again? A few weeks, months, years? What if the disease arises?
- Will stopping at another time be easier?
- How can smoking give me benefits?
- Is a cigarette now comparable to my stopping after months?
These questions are difficult to answer, but if you think about trying to smoke again, answer those questions honestly. Take care of your freedom from these deadly habits. Remember that the addiction chain will break one by one. Be patient with yourself and let time help you.
Don't let the addictive cliche excuse you to go back to habits you hate. You might not find a way to be free again.
Give time to stop and you will be free.
Give time to smoke and cigarettes will kill you.
