The process of quitting smoking requires determination and patience. Medical News Today provided a timeline to help smokers quit smoking and to better understand how they benefit from ditching this deadly habit.
Quitting smoking will affect you both physically and mentally. The withdrawal period is extremely unpleasant but the benefits of quitting far outweigh any temporary discomfort. Quitting may be hard, but I advise you to do it as early as now. I really believe that having a healthy, smoke-free lifestyle will not only benefit you but your family as well.
There are strategies that can make quitting easier. You should pick a quit date that is not stressful and inform others that you are quitting. Track emotional triggers in order to ascertain what situations will pose a challenge to your smoke-free lifestyle.
While you cannot eliminate stress entirely, energy psychology tools such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can help your body compensate for the bioelectrical short-circuiting that can disrupt many of your body's important systems, thereby causing stress and disease.
You may want to wash and throw away everything that reminds you of smoking. There are extensive networks of former smokers who can provide support and insight. Take advantage of these resources. Commitment is key to success. It will certainly be hard but it is worth it.
