Tension increases Smoking

Tweet

Hi all, This New year I have made a resolution to Quit Smoking. Smoking, as we all know is a dangerous habit - a cause of many diseases including deadly Cancer. Talking about statistics, I smoked approx 10 cigarettes daily prior to my resolution. Till now it has been 18days that I have not smoked. Some say that you can't quit smoking instantly. One need to slowdown first & then put a full stop. For me, I have quit it all together. But there are times when the urge to smoke is at its peak - like when you don't have anything to do, or when you are in tension. Smoking relieves the nerves & provide an instant relief to senses when in mood of tension. But that's the testing point of one's will. Some people make resolutions of quitting smoke, but they do it occasionally at parties or get togethers. Is it right? Or they gradually pick up the momentum again? Quit Smoking is a highly talkative topic. One can speak about it at length. My girl friend always used to get angry at me when I smoked. Sometimes I think why I did smoke at the very first time. Then I think why did I carried it till today. Whenever I get the urge, I just remember the ill effects of smoking like lungs disease, my parents - anything destructive. It helps. Also if you make a resolution & keep it, it boosts your self-confidence & will power. These small little achievements make us what we are. Regular workout, friends, family - all these support in my quit smoking campaign. Some friends discussed about the ways to quit smoking - like having a chocolate when you feel the urge. Do they work? I have simply quit smoking & whenever I feel the urge I think about its ill effects. Also, some friends offer me saying just one time. But I know its this one time that started my smoking habit years earlier. So I strictly say them No & adhere to it. I hope not to start it again. Wish me luck :-)
