Commit To Your Decision To Quit Smoking
Hundreds of people can tell you that you can quit smoking if you really put your mind to it and that it really isn’t all that hard if you really want it. Yes, you can have tons of people pat you on the back and tell you these things but it isn’t going to change the fact that quitting your smoking habit is going to be hard, very hard. Listen, I’m not here to lie to you and tell you that kicking your smoking to the curb is going to be easy with “the right mentality” or whatever. I’m here to tell you how it is and to help you see the reality of quitting smoking. The reality of the matter is that if you want to stop smoking then you are going to have to commit to your decision from the get go. This is where the stop smoking journey begins and this is what ultimately determines whether or not you will be successful at your attempt.
The way I see it is that if you are going to decide to quit smoking then you better want it. When smokers think to themselves, “Man, this smoking habit of mine is damn disgusting. I think I ought to quit some time soon. Maybe after this pack…”, the genuine drive to quit isn’t there. Putting off your time to quit is the same thing as saying that you don’t really feel like quitting. If you want to quit then you’ll tell yourself you’re quitting for good at that very moment and if you just want to talk about quitting then you are going to do just that and nothing more. You see, planning out your time to quit isn’t really doing anything for you. In the end, all it is really doing is making yourself more guilty about smoking cigarettes than you already were. Why the hell put yourself through that? Smoking cigarettes is your own decision. You are the only one responsible for smoking cigarettes. And if you are a smoking then you have two choices. You can either commit to quitting or you can continue to smoke. Honestly, if you really do enjoy smoking then continue to do so. Don’t agonize yourself though guilt trips and failed attempts.
Now, I realize that determining whether or not you are willing to commit to your decision to quit smoking is walking a fine line. When you strongly addicted to nicotine and you are a regular smoker then it is going to be pretty damn hard determining whether or not your intentions of stopping smoking are genuine. This is something that only you can determine. You are really the only one who can tell whether or not you have that extra “umph” as far as quitting smoking goes. However, the fact still remains that if you want to start off on the right foot when quitting smoking then you are going to have to truly commit to your decision.
