Pick a
target date and start preparing for your road to
recovery;
The majority smokers will find
themselves reaching for and lighting up a cigarette without
even thinking. This automatic action is usually linked with a
certain activity or a feeling the smoker is having at that
given moment. This mindless action is known as a smoking
"trigger" and is the result of the smoking habit.
The
repetition of smoking is what connects daily routines with
smoking; so every day activities like driving, finishing a
meal, drinking coffee, talking on the phone, taking a break,
or stress all become a "trigger" to light up.
To help
break the habit of smoking, start by changing the way you go
about your daily activities. This will begin to disrupt your
smoking triggers and help you avoid smoking. You can do this
by looking at your smoking habit and finding out what your
smoking triggers are.
By using the chart on the
following page you can find out what your triggers are and
which triggers are stronger than others. Once you know what
your triggers are, you can start thinking of ways to disrupt
or avoid those triggers.
Chart
Directions:
The
chart will list some common triggers. Besides each trigger,
mark whether the trigger wants to make you NOT
smoke, or SOMEWHAT smoke, or
gives you the STRONG urge to
smoke.
Once you've completed the list, look at the
triggers you marked STRONG. Start to
think about what you are going to do to avoid each individual trigger or what
change you can make to disrupt that trigger. Then do the same
for the triggers you marked
SOMEWHAT.
Remember; the more
prepared you are to fight urges, the better chance you will
have at becoming a non-smoker.

10/09/2008 I quit smoking 4 weeks ago thanks to
Laser Solutions. I have tried before without laser treatment
and this was the easiest way for by far to quit. I
recently ran a 5k and it felt awesome to be able to breathe
again. The laser treatment is quick and easy and actually is
super relaxing. I also feel comfortable knowing that I can go
back any time this year in case I have a craving. But so far I
have barely thought about it. I would recommend anyone who
seriously wants to quit smoking to go to Laser Solutions. If
it worked for me it can work for anyone. Tom
