Quitting Smoking: How Can I Leave This Habit Behind?

Are you finally ready to leave this habit behind you in the dust? If yes, you’ve come to the right place. Quitting smoking can be easy for some and difficult for others. It depends upon how often you smoke and whether you use it as a crutch to handle your life’s emotional and physical stress. If you can figure out what’s causing you to reach for a smoke every time, it’ll be easier for you to find a way to quit smoking.

That’s why we’ve put together a guide to help you quit smoking. Here are some effective ways you can leave this detrimental habit behind:

Pick A Date

You need to be decisive and pick a day. You need to resist the temptation of “one last smoke” or “I’ll start tomorrow.” You need to make this decision consciously and commit to it because it’s going to be a tough journey ahead. So there are two things you need to decide on:

1. Quit gradually or reduce your cigarette intake slowly
2. Quit abruptly, or continue smoking up till the date and then stop

You need to find out which method will suit you the best. If you think you have the fortitude to quit cold turkey and go on Nicotine Replacement Therapy, go for it! However, if you think you need time, start slowly, reduce your daily intake, and commit to it.

Seek Support Groups

Many support groups all over New York can help you talk about your journey, your struggles, and what got you into smoking in the first place. Behavioral support groups with NRTs and alternative medications to help quit smoking have been effective to 25 percent in helping people quit smoking.

So, find your tribe and get the support you need. And don’t be shy about asking for help. We all need a little help sometimes.

Try Hypnosis Programs For Quitting Smoking

Hypnosis has been a successful treatment method for smoking cessation for many individuals. In the session, a hypnotist may ask a patient to envision unpleasant outcomes from smoking or suggest that cigarette smells like truck exhaust, etc.

All of these suggestions are implanted in the brain’s subconscious to trigger a behavior change. No clear evidence suggests that hypnosis is better than other treatment methods. However, quitting smoking with minimal medicinal intake seems promising.
