How To Quit Smoking Within 3 Days !!

Actually it completely depends on you and your quitting habits. My father really quit smoking in 3 days. You will find a lot articles which explain scientific ways to quit smoking, but they are temporary means. You'll catch the habit again within few months. The real problem is how to fight the craving after quitting and making it permanent.

Quitting the habit of smoking is tough both for teenagers and adults. It just depends on motivation and willpower you carry. You need a plan, but first you must know why quitting seems hard. Smoking tobacco is equally an addiction as well as psychological habit. Slowly it becomes a ritual as nicotine is temporarily an addictive. Eliminate this regular fix of nicotine to successfully accomplish the task.

First of all, learn to manage stress, depression, fear, anxiety and loneliness because these are the main reasons which lead you towards that pack of cigarette. Think of cigarette as a wrong way to reduce stress, remind yourself about the adverse effect of it. There are more useful, effective and better ways as exercising, meditation, relaxation and simple breathing exercises. Practicing Yoga is a better option. The best way to quit smoking is to find alternate ways to reduce stress and all other mental harassments, because even when the cigarettes aren't with you, these feelings still prevail.

Design a game plan: List those reasons why you want to quit, and then keep such lists on those places where you keep cigarettes. You can use the following points:-

- I'll feel healthier and more energetic with white teeth and fresh breath.

- I'll lower the risks for cancer and heart attacks to occur, thus Ill add years to my life.

- My family would be proud of me.

- I'll have more money to spend.

Ask question to yourself: Try these, they can help:-

- Do I need to smoke every meal?

- Should I take more than one a day?

- Is my smoking related to other addictions as alcohol or gambling?

- Is there any need of hypo therapy or acupuncture?

- Should I consult to a therapist or a counselor?

- Shouldn't I go and join a fitness programme?

- Is smoking more important than my family, friends and life?

Just take your time and think which are those moments which call for a cigarette so that you can plan your ways to sort them out.

How to manage cravings after quitting?

After quitting, you may feel dizzy, restless and even may suffer from longer headaches, due to the lack of immediate release of sugar from nicotine. So, keep your sugar levels normal those days, drink fruit juices and other sugar supplements (don't do this, if you are diabetic). Stay active and keep yourself distracted and occupied. Keep your fingers busy. Use squeaky balls, pencils, paper clips. Keep your mind busy, read books and listen to Linkin Park Reloaded music. Use hard candy, mints, sunflower to keep your mouth busy when you have excess cravings for cigarettes. Manage your mood, just be busy. You may gain weight due to mindless eating so find other ways.

This tasks can only be done, when you want to do it. You must be self aware and motivated. Only you can do it and no one else. Best of luck and start leading a healthier life.
