First month free of nicotine, 31 days without cigarettes

It is now 1 month since I last smoked a cigarette and it will be the first of many, there are certain moments during the day that the craving for nicotine appears but after a few seconds it flows away. The cravings dissapear faster when somebody is smoking nearby, the smell of cigarettes is really bad, as a smoker you never smell it like when you stop smoking, it is terrible. I am still running but I have to slow down a bit because I start to feel something in my knees, I don´t want to force it, I have all the time in the world, the most important thing I had to do I did and that was stop smoking.

Stop Smoking Tips

Here are some tips on how to stop smoking;

- write down your goals, what do you want to do, make a promise to yourself on paper.
My goals are never to use nicotine again and start running.

- write down the benefits of quiting, and take a blank page with the benifits of smoking...there are no benifits for smoking!

- read the book: Allen Carr´s easy way to stop smoking.

- drink a lot of water!

- believe in yourself, don´t be afraid!

- if there is a craving go walking, running, cycling...do exercises!

- throw your cigarettes away the moment you quit, it is dangerous to have a pack in case if doesn´t work, in case of means that you are not confident that you can quit, so throw them away and believe in yourself
