Re: [nidokidos] Six Tips To Stop Smoking

Dear all,

I have a totally different experience.

I was a smoker for about 26 years on an average of 60 cigarettes a day and kings in the latter half of smoking life.

I had tried and succeeded in quitting smoking a number of times spanning days and weeks.

I would always latch it back.

I am yet to start since the last quitting about 11 years, ago.

I distinctly remember what helped me.

I was scared of the hatred I had seen in the eyes of my son, when my friends smoked.

I quit it on a day that will not visit me again in my life when I was called upon to sacrifice some thing very dear to me.

My wife was and is the first best... the second best was cigarette . . .that I decided to sacrifice. .

I made the resolve at that moment and promised to myself and to God, since I do believe.

I shun smoking from that moment, with left out sticks in the pack . .

I carried the pack and matches for months together so that denial should not help me to stop.

I behaved like an idiot, no rhyme or reason, bloody crack pot. . .for almost 3 weeks.

My family supported me. They did not shout, yell back, did not reason it out.

They silently bore it, suffered it for me.

At the end of it all, I could come out of craving and withdrawl.

I did not bank upon anything else to quit smoking, lest I picked up that instead of smoke !

The last and the best lesson I had learnt in quitting smoking which I had realized in so many attempts.

I have never tried to smoke that 'one cigarette' again . . .what is there in this . . .one cigarette . .

That one cigarette had put me to the chain every time.

This time I have held back that "one cigarette' and touch wood, I continue to be non smoker . . .

If at all this instance can help one smoker to think of quits, that would be nice.

Regards

B.S.Subrahmanya
