TAKE IT DAY BY DAY<br />
You should treat quitting smoking<br />
day-by-day. This is a process that could<br />
take months before results are apparent.<br />
Don’t waste your time thinking about<br />
next year, next month, or even next<br />
week. Make efforts on a daily basis<br />
and focus on getting through each<br />
day without smoking so that this new<br />
habit becomes part of your lifestyle.<br />
If your goal is to finally stop smoking, you<br />
need to practice your skills at quitting.<br />
Most people who try to quit will fail on the<br />
first and second times. When you decide<br />
to quit smoking, take it day by day. If you<br />
do succumb to smoking again, you must<br />
immediately set a new quit date. Just keep<br />
quitting and go longer each time, learning<br />
along the way. Each time you attempt<br />
to quit smoking, you will develop new<br />
tactics which will eventually enable you<br />
to quit completely.<br />

GET SOME GOOD REST<br />
If you are trying to stop smoking,<br />
see to it that you have plenty of rest. The<br />
longer you stay up, the more cravings<br />
you’ll face. Late nights tend to be a time<br />
when no one is around, and it makes it<br />
easier to be tempted to smoke. When you<br />
get the rest you need, it is easier to focus<br />
on your commitment to stop and resist<br />
the temptation to give in to cravings.<br />
6<br />
JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP<br />
Make sure you have a strong support<br />
group of friends and family members,<br />
when you decide to quit smoking. You<br />
need to let them know that you want their<br />
support, not their judgment. Also, warn<br />
them that you may be bad-tempered in the<br />
beginning and that your judgment may be<br />
somewhat cloudy. Make sure that you have<br />
support from close friends and loved ones<br />
during your quitting process; this support<br />
can come in handy as quitting is not easy.<br />
