Quit Smoking Forever Guide

Allow me to give you some insight into your future. You may, naturally, be a little apprehensive about life after smoking.

As I’ve already explained, you will become like a non-smoker, but with even more knowledge about addiction. I want to tell you about your future because when you see yourself being there then you’re already half way to getting there. I believe strongly in visualising where you want to be. It may sound corny to you but nearly all successful people in life use this tool - by seeing their future ahead of them and combining it with a strong desire to achieve it, they ALWAYS do. Here’s a preview of what you can expect.

You’ll very quickly forget about smoking and your old lifestyle. The first few days as a non-smoker are covered in greater detail in the next section but, in general, in the weeks and months that pass by as a non-smoker, you’ll find them incredibly normal and without event.

The only unusual thing will be your friends marvelling (especially old friends that you do not see often) when they find out that you have stopped smoking. It’s a humbling experience but at the same time there is an inner glow of achievement and satisfaction on your part, and also a desire to spread the word to other people.

Get on with life as normal. Set yourself some new goals with the new confidence, free time and money that you have and carry on with life, achieving these goals of yours.

As the years go by, you’ll smile when you look back and remember how you used to be a smoker. It will seem almost incredible to you that you were actually once an addict. It will seem as if you that was a totally different person to who you are now. You’ll feel gratitude that you found a path out of addiction. Your life will have also moved on by then and at various milestones in your life, you will occasionally look back for perspective and see your old self, as a smoker.

You’ll look at smokers and see them for what they really are, addicts. You may have the urge to help them all but ultimately you can only help them so much, because you know that addicts are deluded and you can’t push your advice on them. The only thing that you can do is agree to help if they seek it from you. Their desire to find out how to quit is the most important step that they can take.

Are you excited yet about your new life ahead as a non-smoker? A life of freedom to choose and say “no” to addiction and watch it evaporate before you? There is nothing to fear and there are only positives to gain. You have a whole life ahead of you and most of the time you will not even be looking back on your smoking “career” but instead looking ahead to a better, healthier life and a free mind.
