Stopping Smoking at Diet Trials : Paul McKenna

Stopping Smoking

Published by Diet Trials July 4th, 2006 in Day to Day, Smoking

So how has the no smoking gone?

It is Day 12 today and so far so good…. sort of. I’d forgotton how hard giving up smoking can be at times. Generally I am finding it OK, but there are certain times of the day that I have the craving for a cigarette.

I must admit that I did crack momentarily at the weekend, but I was in Germany and had just watched England get knocked out of the World Cup Quarter finals. But after a couple of cigarettes late at night that was enough for me to realise that I didn’t want to carry on the next day.

The main problem for me is the time when I am at work and need to have a break from my computer. Before I would go outside with one of the lads who also smoke and have a cigarette. This would enable me to think of what I needed to do next and to clear my head a bit. Almost allow me to organise the next part of my day. My life at the moment is a bit stressful as well since I am having my kitchen ripped out and replaced so my house is a bit upside down. But I am proud that it’s Day 12 and I have only lapsed momentarily. It will get easier I know it.

One of the Diet Trials readers, has just mentioned to me that to help stop smoking the Allen Carr book works. Even though I have stopped I am tempted to buy it all the same. My sister in law went to one of his seminars to support a friend who wanted to give up and ended up giving up herself the next day. Powerful stuff.
