Will You Stop Smoking In 2010?

December 22, 2009 by Chris
Filed under: General 

As we approach the end of 2009, I want to give thanks for my wonderful friends and family.  As each year passes, I feel myself appreciating those people more and more.

And with each year that passes, I realize how fragile life is.  More friends and people I know, die each year.  I find myself appreciating my own life more and more.  I think about my own health and what I can do to improve it.  And while I try not to dwell on the past, I do find myself reflecting on the harm I’ve done to myself over the years.

I quit smoking back in 2003 and that was a huge accomplishment that I wish every person who smokes, could experience.  I realize that many people “enjoy” smoking…& I have to admit that I did as well once upon a time.  But something inside told me that it wasn’t right and that I needed to give up the habit and I did.  Haven’t looked back since.

I’d love to help others quit smoking, because I know how hard it can be to quit.  I personally quit with the help of hypnosis and I think thats one of the easiest ways to “kick the habit”.  But regardless…if there is anything I can do to help you stop smoking, please let me know.

I’ve created this new site that will be geared towards the use of hypnosis for smoking cessation.  The link to the site is www.HypnosisSmoking.net.  Please check it out sometime.  It is an affiliate site, which means that I do receive compensation if someone purchases a program through the site…but that doesn’t take away from the fact that I want it to be useful and helpful to those trying to quit.  I plan to add a lot of free resources and give out as much advice and help as I can.  If you know someone trying to quit…please pass along the url.

I don’t know if I will post again before the end of the year or not?  If not, I wish you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Chris

  2. This is one habit that I am thankful I never picked up. I grew up in a house of smokers, and each of them has had a horrible time trying to kick the habit. Nothing would make me happier than if they could actually get rid of the cancer sticks in 2010!

  10. 2010 is certainly the year I’d like to give up smoking. I tried a couple of times during 2009 but I was dealing with severe depression so it wasn’t the right time.

  20. That’s the hard thing to do to those people who cannot resist to smoke. If you get addicted to it, you will find yourself suffering from smoking.
    If you are really determined to quit smoking, then you will.

  24. I hope more and more people can quit smoking, but there are a ton of other things people can do to improve their health. The thing with smoking is that it affects people around the smokers as well, so this is something that more people should help to eradicate.

    Good honest post, thanks.

    Quitting smoking is a big accomplishment. It may be the toughest thing that a person does in their life. Your body gets so used to the nicotine, that you go into withdrawal without it. Hypnosis sounds like a great way to kick the habit though.

  78. I quit smoking back in the year of 2000, so it’s been almost 10 years now. I first start smoking when I was 12, and from then I became regularly smoking. For me, when you start smoking it’s like opening a door to other stuff…I mean drugs. So, when I decide to quit smoking back in 2000, it’s because I

  80. Smoking is a bad habit and anyone who smokes should try too stop. Not just because it’s expensive but your health is at risk. Also other people’s health is at risk when a smoker lights up around a non smoker.

  82. I think that there will be many people who are going to quit smoking this year. There is more and more information coming out about how horrible it is for your health. I think that this will convince a lot of people.

  84. I don’t think I’ll ever stop smoking. Not really a good idea to just say I’ll stop next year anyways… those things usually fall apart fast.

  94. My Daddy used to say that if a man can look back on his life and truly believe that he has not done harm along the way, he is just not paying attention.

    The fact that you have grown by giving up smoking is a wonderful thing, not only for you but for those around you.

    I don’t know that I would have had the strength. Happily I never started smoking, so I didn’t have to quit.

    However, in life, it is impossible not to be addicted to something. Some would say committed to something.

    If someone has a strong attraction for something, there you are.

  107. This is one such habit which is almost impossible to leave.The only way to completely leave it is to decrease the number of cigarettes you smoke daily and eventually you will stop.

  119. I don’t seem to understand why people with find it so hard to quit smoking….I mean why they have to use therapy, or some kind of treatments to help them to quit smoking? Based on my experience, the most important thing that can help us to quit smoking is your determination and willingness to stop this bad habit. If we don’t have those, whatever treatments we have won’t help us to quit smoking. I start smoking when I was 12, and I quit smoking at the age of 24. I used to smoke 2 packs of cigarette a day. And it wasn’t that hard for to quit smoking. I mean I just woke up one day, and realize I need a big change in my life. And one the things I want to change in my life is my smoking habit. So, I just stop, like that. No need to go to some rehabilitation center or any other kind of treatments.
