Preparing To Quit Smoking with Laser Therapy
PICK A DATE TO QUIT SMOKING AND STICK TO THAT DATE
Smokers tend to put that date off because of a
stressful day, weekend plans, dinner, etc... Make it a point
to pick your date and keep it. It can be a birthday, anniversary or
simply make it your quit smoking date. You will always
remember that day because years later you will look back and realize
how much better you feel since that day.
CREATE A PLAN FOR QUITTING SMOKING
Think about what stressed you out about smoking. Pick a low
stress day to quit. Think about how you will deal with any
urges that you may have and how you plan to overcome them.
THINK ABOUT WHY YOU ARE QUITTING
Think of all of the positive
aspects of quitting smoking and how your health is going to
immediately be improved the very day that you decide to quit.
Think of all of reasons why you decided to quit and the negative
aspects of smoking. Consider how it has controlled your life
and the fact that you want your life back.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES THAT YOU ARE QUITTING
Let your friends know that you need their support and that this is a
very important day for you. If your significant other smokes,
this would be a good day for them to quit as well.
START PAYING ATTENTION TO EVERY CIGARETTE THAT YOU SMOKE AND WHY YOU
DO IT.
Pay close attention to your triggers. The
phone? Coffee? Alcohol? Where do you smoke and why?
When you quit smoking and start your new life you are going to want
to avoid some of the places that you chose to smoke in or around.
This will help with the behavioral changes that are necessary to
quit.
BE POSITIVE AND CONFIDENT ABOUT QUITTING
Stay positive about quitting smoking. Laser therapy should
keep you very calm during this process but you still need to keep a
positive attitude about quitting. Keep a list of the positive
changes to you health that happen when you quit smoking and keep
that list with you. Associate yourself with positive people
who are happy that you quit and want to help you to be healthier.
ELIMINATE REMINDERS OF CIGARETTES AND SMOKING
Get rid of cigarettes, cigars, lighter, matches and ashtrays.
You no longer need these items and you will never need them again.
