Excuses Aren't Welcome When it Comes to Quitting Smoking!

Just listen to anybody who smokes and quite regularly you'll hear things like "I'm going to try and quit smoking, just as soon as I (fill in the blank)". Perhaps you've heard them say these things a number of times and now you just don't listen. Know what I mean?

So here's what you need to do. You need to put down in writing the things you want to accomplish (quitting smoking) and come up with the reasons why. And while you are doing this, write down all the reasons why you can't (your excuses).

The act of putting your thoughts to paper gives you clarity. It allows you to sit back and subjectively analyze not only why you want to quit, but to scrutinize all the excuses that are keeping you from doing so. Doing so in this fashion will show you how silly your excuses are in comparison to the goal you are looking to attain.

I'll give you a few of the most common ones to start with but it is up to you to do this for every single reason why you think you smoke.

"I'm afraid that I'll gain weight if I quit smoking."

Yes, it is possible that you may gain a little weight when stopping smoking. However it is usually less than 20 pounds (which, by the way is WAYYYY better for you than continuing to smoke would be). But if you take proactive steps to assure that when quitting, the only snacks available to you are healthy rather than high calorie comfort foods, this should not become an issue.

"Smoking is too enjoyable to quit."

Not to point out the painfully obvious, but if that's true, why are you looking at information on how to quit smoking? Don't take it personally. I remember when I used to make the very same statement. Of course the major problem, as I mentioned earlier, is that the more you make statements such as this, the more deeply ingrained the beliefs become. So the time has come to be honest with yourself. Be truthful now. Is smoking something you really enjoy or just a lie you've convinced yourself of? Do you really like the stale smell of cigarette smoke in your car; your hair; your clothes? No really, what is it that you think smoking brings to your life that's beneficial. Write your answers down and I think you'll find everything is silly and you don't really like smoking at all.

Don't take what I am saying the wrong way. It is not meant to be cruel or mean. It is solely meant to shake you up and wake you up to the fact that any excuses you make as a smoker now or in the past will do nothing but keep you smoking forever. The sooner you realize this, the easier it will be to quit.

You have what it takes to beat those lies, once and for all.
