Quit Smoking

How Can I Stop Smoking Cold?

Trying to stop smoking cold is really tough, if by stopping “cold” you mean tossing out your cigarettes one morning and never going back and not using any type of smoking cessation help.  It can be done, but it has about a 95% fail rate.  If by stopping “cold” you mean tossing the smokes and never lighting up again with help from some sort of plan, that’s much much more doable.

Even if you did toss the smokes yesterday and planned on going “cold turkey” you can still benefit from having a plan of action and it will increase your chances of staying a nonsmoker for good.

Here are some steps for a plan of action that I found helpful.

Set A Date. If you haven’t tossed the smokes this morning, set a quit date.  Write in on your calendar, post it on your mirror whatever works for you.  Set it and work towards it.

Have a Plan. By plan I mean have a plan in place to help you deal with the nicotine withdrawal and how to manage the stress you used to have a smoke to deal with.  There are lots of ways to help you through this time, none is a one size fit all its going to depend on what works for you.  You can use a variety of smoking cessation aids like the stop smoking pill, nicotine replacement, hypnosis, herbs, meditation.  Stopping smoking is tough enough without making it tougher by not getting help.

Get Support. Your family and friends are going to be thrilled that you’ve stopped smoking and will be supportive.  BUT.  They won’t be going through the same thing you are and might not be able to relate.  If you have a friend who quits with you that’s one of the best scenarios.

Other than that there are options of online communities, phone lines, American Lung Association support groups.  Find some way to connect with other people going through the same thing you are and that you’re not alone when something weird happens or you feel like you can’t handle it one more minute.

Avoid Your Triggers. If a smoke always went with that cup of coffee in the morning switch to tea for a bit or drink your coffee somewhere else.  Change up your routine.

Get Moving. Whether its a daily 5 minute walk or swimming laps or training for a marathon.  It doesn’t matter what you do, just get moving and get some of those exercise-induced endorphins to help you through withdrawal.

Instead of just tossing out your smokes and stop smoking “cold” try using some of these ideas to help you out.  Don’t make quitting smoking any tougher than it already is and you’ll be more likely to succeed.

Paul Krol $9.99 Paul Krol is a private investigator whose friends jokingly call him ‘King of The Polish PIs” (Krol in Polish means king). Paul is six five on a muscular frame, walks with a slight limp and carries a cane. Professional football player is what Paul wanted to be but the dream crashed with an injury sustained in the Michigan State-Purdue football game. He became a high school phys-ed instructor and football coach, but after helping a private investigator with part-time surveillance, Paul liked the work. Part-time work became full-time and when his partner was killed while trying to prevent a hold-up, Paul took over the business.It was Charlie, an old Vietnamese stick fighter who taught Paul the art of self-defense with a cane. Guns killed people. Paul’s brother died in the war, and his partner died with his own gun; perhaps there was a better way for Paul than relying on a gun. Paul entered the Clover War, as he called it, to help John Callahan. Callahan was Uncle Kaz’s World War II buddy. Callahan’s problem began when he called police to stop criminal activity in the neighborhood. The gang made John an example of what happened to anyone who fought back. They trashed Callahan’s house and property. People walked by John’s place to see, shook their heads, and did nothing about it. Paul is shocked. Enough! Time to fight back! Paul shows residents how to take back their community. Paul has plenty of help. There is Uncle Kaz, as big as Paul and a devoted family man who became head of the family when Paul’s father died. Kaz can make anything in his tool shop, and alongside Paul, these two put fear in the hearts of opposition. There is Wanda, Paul’s beautiful high school sweetheart, a tall girl, a quiet beauty but don’t you dare mess with her Paul. There is Angie, Paul’s office manager, a sexy lady with a short fuse, won’t let anyone tamper with her boss. She saves Paul’s life. There is Crockett, a cigar-smoking ball of energy, a professional photographer and an electronic
