HOW I GAVE UP SMOKING! (by Lindah)

I decided that I was sick of smoking. It was becoming far too expensive and was not doing my

health any good, so it was time to give it up. I knew though, from previous experience, that I would
not be able to go cold turkey, so I decided the best way to go about it was to gradually cut down on
how many cigarettes I smoked a day until I could go without them. I also needed to get rid of the
bad habits I had to do with smoking to help me cut down.

The first thing I did was to get rid of the ashtray next to my bed and leave my cigarettes in

another room when I went to bed, so that I could not have a cigarette as soon as I opened my eyes in
the morning or during the night. As I couldn’t be bothered getting out of bed, it made it easy to
break this habit.

As I always had to have a cigarette every time I had a cup of coffee, I needed to learn to drink a

cup without having one. I would only have to have a sip or two before lighting up, so I started
making myself finish a cup before I had one. It was only a habit, so it wasn’t that hard to do and
before long, I could drink a cup without a cigarette and could even wait for a while after the coffee
before lighting up.

I also had a cigarette every time I ate something even if it was a couple of spoonfuls. The minute

I finished the last mouthful, I would light up, so I made myself wait for about five minutes after I
finished eating before I could have a cigarette. Gradually, without realising it, I could go longer and
longer after eating before I needed a cigarette.

Making myself go a certain amount of time between each cigarette, seemed like a good way of

cutting down. Fifteen minutes between each cigarette to start with, gradually increasing the time
between each one. It was fairly hard at times and also got quite monotonous continually watching
the time. A few times I cheated and had a cigarette sooner than I was supposed to, but overall I
stuck to the times I imposed on myself and after a time, it gradually got easier and easier to go
longer and longer without a cigarette.

Eventually I found myself counting the hours between cigarettes, spreading it out so that I would

only be smoking five cigarettes a day. I mostly stuck to five a day and was quite happy with that for
some time but knew that if I didn’t stop altogether, I would end up back where I started, so
eventually cut that to three, then two, then none. It certainly wasn’t that easy and I had to keep at it,
but in the end I got there. Hurray.

They say you never really get over smoking and they are right. There are occasional times when

I miss smoking and feel like a cigarette and I know I could easily start smoking again if I let myself,
but I won’t because I don’t want to be addicted to smoking ever again.
