Re: [World Malayali Club] Ho to stop smoking Cigarette

Hi Mr. Mahesh,

Like Mr. Subash Chandran, I was also a regular smoker ( That too Charms , a very strong tobaco ) for over 4 decades at least ( It started by stealing my brother's Bidi when I was in school , I don't know which year ) . It went up to 3 Packs per day. Slowly slowly , it started showing its effect; besides Dry cough, itching, throat irritation, shaking of hands etc, it also manifested in slowing down my performance in every action of mine ( including sex ). As many smokers did, I tried reducing the Number of Cigarettes, quitting it for a day or two but it came back with more vigour after some time. Every time when I stopped , a thought used to come into my mind; what the hell why should I quit smoking ? This attitude remained in my sub concious till December 2005 and it was on 26th that I realised it is this very thought in my mind who is the real culprit in preventing me to quit smoking. That day I willed myself to delete this question from my mind and threw the remaining 3 Charms left in my pack . That night I prayed again to permanently "delete" that question "why should I quit smoking ?" from my mind. I told myself "I have the Will Power" . I continued to give this auto suggestion "I have the Will Power" to my mind, for few more days when the urge to smoke used to come back. It is now 10 years that I have not touched a cigarette.

So Mr. Mahesh, tell your mind "I have the Will Power". It will work.

All the very best

Hi Mahesh, I used to smoke more than 5pkts a day for over 25 years and wanted to stop. At first I had the same problem as you had. But for the last 15 years, I haven't smoked a single cigarette. It took me almost 6 years to really quit smoking. At times, I could stop for 6 or 7 months at a stretch, but back to square one after that. I even tried by cutting down the number of cigarette in take, step-by-step. Did not work for me. Tell everyone you know that you are quitting this bad habit. Do not count the number of days you went with out smoking Ask everyone not to offer you a cigarette at any occasion. These tips helped me. No one can make you quit smoking, only you can. I guess you have the will to do it, and that is the most important thing. Once you achieve your goal, you will be only happy that you did it! I should say never give up. Enjoy a cigaretteless life. All the best! dvs
