I had attempted to quit smoking on a number of occasions but had often failed at the first hurdle. I was fully aware that I had to learn from the mistakes and failures of the past to ensure that the next time I attempt to quit will be the last time – due to it being a success.
I decided that I would only try again to stop smoking, when my life was in what I classed as a good period. If I am stressed out for example at work where I sell French doors then I always seem to yearn for a fag. When I am doing well and I am happy, I have far less of a need to smoke, therefore this will be the type of period, when I will start yet again to quit the fags.
I am not sure why I did this but whenever I have tried to quit smoking in the past I have let everyone know what I am attempting to do – family, friends and work colleagues etc. This is a big mistake as to quit it is important that you stop thinking about cigarettes completely. When you are constantly being asked about how you are finding giving up the cigarettes, it is like a constant reminder to you. By going about it in a quiet way, maybe only telling your closest family members and friends, makes it a whole lot easier.
Another reason why I had failed in my previous attempts to quit smoking, was possibly due to spending too much time with other people who smoked. I decided that in this new quest, I would attempt to stay away from other smokers as much as I could. This was not that easy as quite a lot of my friends are smokers. I had to be determined and make sacrifices. What I am attempting to do could have a very positive affect on my life, I therefore have to have the courage to do everything in my power that I think will help to lead to a successful conclusion.
