Are you going to be a happy ex-smoker?

With the new year coming I just thought I'g go over the idea of stopping smoking as a new yea's resolution.

I've already mentioned a few times that you should only do it for yourself! And you shouldn't stop smoking now or any time for that matter, because your under pressure from different people.

But my main point now is - when you do stop smoking, are you going to be a happy ex-smoker? I mean are you going to be constantly kicking yourself for 'giving up' the one thing that makes you happy? Are you going to be miserable, always wishing for 'just one' cigarette?

There is no point in stop stopping smoking unless you are going to be a happy ex-smoker. Happy that you have stopped wasting your hard earned cash, happy that you are no longer doing yourself harm and happy that your life is much better now that you are free from cigarettes.

There are several things you can do to ensure you are a happy ex-smoker. For a start, and it should be pretty obvious - stop smoking because you want to! Make sure that you replace the pleasure you got from smoking with something else. For example, you could pick up a new hobby or spend more time with your kids or buy yourself something you normally couldn't afford.

The list of ways you can ensure that you are going to be a happy ex-smoker. But the most important thing is that you take the time to plan and prepare to ensure that you really are a happy ex-smoker.

So if you are not going to be a happy ex-smoker - don't stop smoking, until you are ready and prepared!
