Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have to leave smoking for one, two or three weeks, sometimes even for months or years later only  to find yourself back smoking again.

You have managed to overcome the problem of smoking, but some time later you take another cigarette to the ground just to try. I admit I have experienced such. Here I share experiences with you so you do not repeat the situation that I experienced.

The majority of smokers to give reasons, including that the nicotine in cigarettes can calm yourself from stress. Rather, it is the only reason. The fact I may have been addicted to nicotine just because it gave me peace. My advice, you do not need to smoke in your life.

So when someone does not wants the pressure today, so one would again become a smoker. To overcome this problem you must instill in your mind that you are quitting smoking and smoking dangerous to your health. Other measure to overcome the pressure of you because of the smoke is as follows:

• Exercise

How do I overcome the cigarettes are on foot into the outer work. I use public transport such as buses and taxis. Sometimes I went to the beach and swimming in the sea water with the children. This will prevent me from smoking just desire.

• Meditation

No need for you to go register the association or any other yoga, the way is every day I woke up and do meditations practice in 10-15 minutes. Close your eyes and sit quietly plenty of breathing.

• Take long Bath

I practice a long bath in the morning and sometimes afternoon. I feel the flows of water in my body make me calm and fresh.

• Reading

Reading is like a food for me. If I do not read I felt as if there is loss of something. Reading also can calm my mind. But up to what you read. Just do not read horror books.

• Movies

Every week I will be watching the movie either alone or with my wife if she is not busy at home. Most of the story we saw are family and characterized by humor. This made me forget the great of cigarettes.

I believe you can vivid it now. Therefore, you should strengthen your spirit to fight the smoking habit for people who love you in this world, especially your family.

Today is the third day I am not smoking. My emotion challenges me to buy a cigarette and wants me to puff it. However, the power to change of myself, to throw away the habit of smoking, makes me struggle for it. At last, I succeed to manage myself by not taking cigarette for this day.

What is helping me today to fight my bad habit?

The answer is simple because all of these came from our own thinking and desire. I learned to control my emotion and put my knowledge in front of me. When I want to smoke, immediately I remember the cause of death by cigarette. In USA, alone the cause of death by cigarette approximately 400,000 people per year recorded. The fastest memory of mine to recall the fact helps me not smoking today.

The impact to my body is not easy as others think. I was experiencing cough and flu. My head also feels bad. I was fighting these effects by taking a balanced meal. However, other problems exist; I double my time to eat. I hope this will not lead me to the obesity.

Early morning usually I took two or three cigarettes before breakfast. Nevertheless, today the environment is different, because I did not take a cigarette anymore.

At my workplace, I was experienced coughing. The symptom of stop smoking was annoying my performance in front of my students. I explained to them that I was fighting with myself to stop smoking without taking any medicine. The pressure and the insider instinct to smoke, finally I was able to manage it by doing some jokes with my students.

On that night, I attend to my friend’s activity and listening to his speech from 8 pm to 10 pm. I really enjoyed with his presentation. After dinner, I completely went to my bedroom. This time I sleep early than last night. Unfortunately, at midnight, I feel tired and shivering. I woke up from the bed and I cannot sleep well until morning.

I feel strange and I cannot breathe normally. Now, I realized people who do not smoke are suffering by this bad habit.

I was coughing continually at the workplace. I handle the situation by drinking a lot of water. My body temperature also increase and I feel not comfortable while I am in the class. My duty end usually at 5 pm but for today I extend it for 5.30 pm. If I am not extending my time, I will go downstairs and take some cigarette.

After dinner, the vivid of smoking comes to my mind and my inner force me to buy a cigarette. This time I really have to fight my emotion very hardly. I take deep breath, open my laptop, and start reading my eBook.
