Ideas To Help You Quit
- Make a list. Write down all motivating reasons that brought you to the decision to quit. Post it somewhere as a constant reminder.
- Set a date. Having a goal – this could be weeks or months into the future — will allow you to stay focused and committed.
- Change it up. Switch to a brand of cigarettes that you don’t like.
- Just stop. Don’t stop smoking cold turkey, but maybe set guidelines for yourself. Agree to stop smoking during certain hours of the day and gradually increase this time period. Soon enough, there won’t be any time left for a smoke.
- Make another list. This time, write down things that make you happy, joyful, and calm. When the temptation comes — choose these activities instead of smoking.
- Crafty you. Learn a new craft or skill…something that requires the use of your hands (i.e. knitting, drawing/sketching, cooking, crocheting, sewing, gardening…). I highly recommend learning new skills by taking a few online classes with Craftsy!
- Save your money. In a tucked away corner of your living space, place a jar. Fill it with the money you save from buying less cigarettes. You’ll be amazed!

Read this article by Dr. Steuer to learn how choosing a healthy lifestyle can help your prevent rather than repair illness: http://doterrablog.com/
“Prevention is, by nature, much more powerful and thus medically sound. As our lives change and choices become habits, our future is altered … It is the culmination of daily choices that will create the sum total of our healthcare outcomes; do we chose to repair or prevent?"
Great Post +Sandra Copeland! My favorite part of the article is to stop smoking gradually and to no do it cold turkey. I bet it is a lot easier to quit slowly instead of going cold turkey. Keep up the good work!
