Stop Smoking Challenge

Setting a stop smoking date is an essential tool for stopping smoking, and if you fail to keep your promise, there is a good chance that you will wake up every morning and promise to stop smoking tomorrow. Most of the smokers have been in this situation, and I am currently one of them. What has led me into this situation?

I am ashamed to admit that

I was browsing the web yesterday and I found a discussion, where a young woman was asking, why his husband is telling her that he has not started smoking again, when she knows that it is not the truth. She had found empty cigarette packs from the pockets of his husband’s jacket and noticed that his hands are sometimes smelling for cigarettes. When she asked his husband about this, he

As I wrote earlier, I still want to stop smoking. I feel weak, because my earlier attempts have failed. I also feel guilty, because I feel that I have let my friends and family down. To be honest, I am pretty sure that my few readers are laughing to me. Well, none of this really matters, because I cannot change the past. That is why I decided

Two weeks ago, when I decided to visit a nearby pub, I fell. Naturally, I am speaking metaphorically. After a couple of beers, I decided to smoke a few cigarettes (two to be exact).

One would think that after spending almost three months without smoking, or using Nicotine replacement products, one’s urge to smoke would be gone.

One would think that after one has spent almost two months without Nicotine, one’s addiction would finally be under control. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I stopped smoking 59 days ago, and lately I have been haunted by memories of my mistakes, which I have made in the past. At first, I was very surprised, because I honestly thought that I had made peace with this part of my

For some reason, I have been lately having strong urges to smoke that legendary one cigarette. At first, I was feeling a bit confused, because I could not understand, why my urge to smoke has returned from its grave.

I have been an ex smoker for almost a month now, I have noticed a lot of changes in my life. Most of the changes are positive, but I have to be honest with you and admit that I have noticed some negative side effects as well. However, today I am not going write about those negative side effects. Instead, I am going to describe to you, how my urge

As I wrote in my entry, which described my last day as a smoker, I decided to quit smoking by going cold turkey. I had been using nicotine replacement products during my previous attempts to stop smoking, and my experiences about them were not so positive. This entry describes my opinion about nicotine replacement therapy and argues, why it does not work as expected.

As I wrote

Since I am going to quit smoking at Saturday, I have been trying to figure out, why I really smoke. One reason for that is my nicotine addiction. However, I was talking about certain moments in my life, which make me want to smoke a cigarette.
