How Fear Keeps You Smoking And, how to change it
If you’re a smoker and worried about the risk around COCID-19 then now would be a good time to think about quitting for good.
It’s a harsh reality that if you’re more likely to get acute respiratory infections and have a higher risk of those infections become more severe.
There has never been a better time to stop smoking.
But quitting is hare for many, and perhaps particularly so at a time of great stress and when many of our routines have been so suddenly disrupted.
Perhaps, like the majority of smokers, the mere thought of stopping fills you with panic.
If you smoke, the mere though of giving up can fill you with PANIC.
Is this YOU?
You have every intention of quitting one day – just not today…
Is this YOU?
YOU are not alone.
Most smokers continue to smoke for one reason…
FEAR!
THE ONLY THING THAT REVENTS US FROM QUITTING IS: FEAR!
Fear – that your will have to undergo an unknown period of time suffering feelings of deprivation.
Fear – that social occasions will not be quite as enjoyable without a cigarette.
Fear – that you can’t concentrate or be as confident without that crutch.
Fear – that your identity – your personality – or your character will change.
Fear – that you will lose the “helpful friend” that helps you cope with stress.
And that quitting may cause you to gain a few pounds.
And here’s the news…
That fear of giving up
It’s actually CREATED by cigarettes
You never decided to fall into the nicotine trap!
But nicotine is designed to ensure that you remain there.
And you need to be Motivated to break free.
And can you take some small steps towards a nicotine-free life?
A rehearsal for the time when you can give up smoking.
For good!
- Make a list of the reasons to quit
There are probably a number of them – but have you ever actually written them as list?
- Set a quit date
And stick to it!
- Change your brand
ONE week before you quit date – change your brand of cigarette. You will find they are not as enjoyable.
- Try to change the hand you use to hold your cigarette
It will feel awkward – but this small change breaks down
Habits and associations.
- Change your routine
If you normally smoke after a meal, try to break of this routine. Try reading a chapter of a book, watch a TV show, or retreat to a part of the house where you wouldn’t smoke.
- Get active
A five-minute walk or stretch produces chemicals in the grain that reduces cravings.

Make regular affirmations to yourself several times a day.
