1. I WANT TO Quit
Have you ever tried to push yourself to do something, and found out how hard it is to do so? It is next to impossible if you are not 100% on board! You need to motivate yourself to quit. Only you, yes, only you can make this commitment. Even if you had a second you, who would babysit you 24/7, if you are not 100% ready to quit, you will not succeed.
2. Devise a Plan
You will need to think about your smoking habit from an objectionable view point. There are triggers, and compulsions that you must deal with before you quit. If you do not have a clear path, and an answer for all of these barriers, you will be vulnerable. Increase your likelihood of success, and analyze your future path with details.
3. Support of Family and Friends
You are not alone, and having support will be the key to much of your success. When you are having a real struggle to stay smoke free, bite the bullet, give your best friend a call, and talk through it. It really is your best defense in those tricky moments!
