How to Quit Smoking
I, finally and officially, Quit Smoking and today is the seventh day. 21 March 2008 was the starting day.
It’s been a long while that the intention and willingness to call it a day emerged. What I need was a momentum to start afresh the whole thing. Includng to begin leaving the “chain-smoker” label behind.
And when the moment came, I took it with both hand. Now, it’s the seventh day I live without any cigarette smokes filling my lung. Some friends amazed, surprised and shocked. But it’s just natural to go from one extreme to another if you’re determined to do so. Nothing is impossible.
So, to quit smoking is simple insofar as I am concerned. First, you got to have a serious intention and willingness to change a particular habit. Second, pick the most important moment of your lives to start with e.g. the birth of your most awaited son, your birthday, etc. Third, be consistent. Never try to fool your self by “Hey, it’s ok to try just once a day.” When you decide to stop smoking, it means stop it altogether never try it even once. Period.
Selamat ya mas…jadi sedih nih soalnya janji suami untuk stop merokok diulur-ulur terus…lo kok malah curhat, dari anak pertama sampe dah tiga anak, malah tiap nanya kado ultah saya, ultah perkawinan,saya cuma minta stop merokok…anak-anak juga dah pada protes, masih aja susah..mungkin memang perlu kemauan yang kuat dari si perokok itu sendiri ya..
Jujur aja saya adalah perokok lumayan berat. Mau berhenti itu susah banget oom, soalnya udah kecanduan, kalo gak ngerokok 1 hari aja, malah jadi lemes, kenapa ya? makasih oom udah sharing
wah, i am amazed to know that you used to be a smoker. it doesnt show from your idealist thoughts
.
is an idealistic thought always coming out from a non-smoker’s head?
nope, the other way around, i would expect, the idealist who are speaking lodly about environment, healt and education, et cetera et cetera, are not smoking publicly because it harms not only the smoker, but also the environment and surrounding people. no?
and you, are one step forward to be a more idealist person. Congrats!
peace, mas

I’ve tried TO BE a smoker since last 10-15 yrs ago (in high school), as friends do. Evtime I try to smoke, I always failed to feel n find : which is the taste of a smoke?.
So I have never been a smoker, since I am a foolish on smoking. hahaha.. thanks God
I don’t smoke, don’t know how difficult it is to stop. My father said it was really easy for him to stop, I have met some people who said it was difficult though. Beside for the sake of their own health, people need to find another incentive to stop smoking, for instance, my mother stopped smoking when she got pregnant, she didn’t want her bad habit affected me badly.
Congratulations. Anyway, what happened seven days ago?
