Putting Things Off

One strange thing I've done as a prepare to quit smoking is putting things off like going through paperwork and cleaning my desk.  I figure I want to have something to occupy myself with once I quit smoking.  But maybe I'm just coming up with an excuse to avoid activities that aren't fun and procrastinate....

There is some stuff I'd like to buy for myself, but I'm holding off until I quit smoking. It's a way of punishing myself until I quit smoking.  That way, I can reward myself when I do quit.  ...

Swine Flu and Smoking

The swine flu outbreak has certainly been in the news a lot.  I was wondering if smokers are at more risk because they end up touching their face with their hand when smoking.  I think it makes sense to wash hands before smoking to minimize the risk.  Of course, quitting smoking would also make sense....

Cigarettes Butts Are Litter

I'm linking to a prevent cigarette litter website that I think makes some valid points.Too many of us smokers drop butts on the ground.  Taking responsibility for this filthy trash may even help motivate me to quit.  Dealing with an ashtray in a car is a pain, but using a glass bottle in a cupholder is an alternative. ...

Addictive Personalities, Smoking, and Working Out

I did something somewhat surprising yesterday.  I started a two week free trial gym membership.  Just seeing fit people was inspiring.  I also didn't think about smoking for awhile. I tend to think gym memberships are expensive, but they really are not compared with the costs of smoking.I think those of us with addictive personalities may benefit from substituting exercise for cigarettes....

Listening to the Hypnosis CD

Sometimes I fall asleep when listening to the hypnosis CD.  I'm not too concerned about that because my subconscious mind should still hear the message.However, sometimes I think the message is getting drowned out when my central heat kicks on.  I'm going to make some adjustments and listen to the CD for a few more days before quitting. ...

Paul McKenna Hypnosis

On the About.com smoking cessation forum, a couple of people highly recommended a 2 CD Paul McKenna program.  All I could find online was a relatively expensive 4 CD program.   Despite wasting lots of money on cigarettes, I didn't want to spend quite that much on hypnosis CDs so I bought a cheaper hypnosis program which I will be reviewing in the very near future....

Setting a Quit Date

It seems like every method involves setting a quit date...  probably few people are successful quitting on a whim.I got my hypnosis CDs in the mail and on the first CD, the hypnotist said to write down a quit date.  It seems like the key is to set a date that is far enough away not to make you freak out.I suppose there are two schools of thought.  1.)  Quit on a work day so you're busy to take your mind off not smoking.2.)  Quit on a weekend so it is less stressful.I'm g...
