This is an analysis on the ways to set your mind to the best place so that you make a very intelligent judgment to stop smoking. This is really a choice that if you engage your brain it just does not make any sense to continue with your smoking at all. By making a plan and following it and by knowing what you are going to get as a payoff for stopping this habit you will cause yourself and remind yourself even when you are tempted that the reward is so much more for quitting the habit than to carry on with behavior that is costing you dearly both financially and health wise.

I did not think I would be able to break my smoking habit. It seemed like I was always waiting until the pressure in my life was at a minimum to begin to quit and of course that just never seemed to happen. I used my smoking as a stress reliever and I just didn't know what to compensate it with. I was leery of gaining weight and it seemed like every time I stopped smoking or even attempted smoking control, I replaced my smoking with eating and as soon as I saw a weight gain over five pound I was once again smoking.

It wasn't simple but I started some smoking control by replacing other activities and habits for times when I would usually smoke. When I decided that I had to break the smoking habit I started with a list of pros and cons for my judgment to smoke or to quit. In other words what I was getting out of smoking and then the cons to maintaining my smoking habit. Of course the pros far outweighed the cons. The health and financial costs of a smoking habit makes the decision to continue one you cant really explain in any sense except for the fact that as a smoker this is a habit that you enjoy.

After I made my list I hung this list up on my bathroom mirror and also on my bedroom door. I wanted everyday to see my motivation for changing my behavior this aided a lot since quitting smoking is a decision one has to renew everyday. When ever you stop smoking you have to expect there will be times when you will slip but in the times past that I backslid, I just accepted failure and started smoking full steam ahead. This time if I slipped and bought a pack of cigarettes or smoked one I begged from a friend I allowed myself forgiveness for not being perfect and started right back up.

As soon as I saw the bathroom scales go up I made sure to workout more and not to rearrange eating with smoking. I also rewarded myself by pampering myself with something I normally wouldn't do for myself. When I pay attention to careful smoking control my cigarette use always goes down. I can not say that I don't think about smoking occasionally and perhaps always will but I also remind myself that what you save is both health and money. Your clothes don't smell like smoke your hair does not reek of smoke and you can taste the food you eat. You can also put the money you would have used for punching smokes into a saving account and watch it add up.
