Yesterday I watched a movie Allen Carr-Easy way. It was my second or third time when I am watching it. It always helps to stop smoking for some time but sooner or later I pick up one cigarette and thats it. I am there again.
There is no “just one cigarette”
There is no understanding – just one cigarette. I somehow always forget about it. I tried to quit smoking many times. I just don’t give up – even I start to smoke again I still keep in mind that I want to quit and I will do it. Last time I quit for 10 months. It was amazing actually. It is amazing. I don’t know how I managed it. Never had so long time. I quit drinking and smoking at the same time and I managed to not drink and smoke 10 months. Then I start to smoke but continue not to drink. I was so depressed, stressed about broken relationships that I needed something and I took a cigarette. I thought better cigaret then alcohol.
Back to smoking
And that’s it…one cigarette and again I start to smoke. Now it has been 2 months while I am smoking. Yesterday I watched again movie Allen Carr – Easy way and today I feel like I never smoke before. It’s easy to quit. I straight away had a productive day today. Did a lot of things and happy about that. I don’t know how smoking affects other people but for me, it affect my energy. I can’t do anything I just don’t have enough energy and willingness. I find so big difference when you smoke and when you don’t smoke. I know some people are drinking, smoking and they still manage to do all things and be super active. And I just cant…I am super lazy, without energy person and if I drink and smoke that’s it…my life is done. I can’t do anything useful.
Drinking and smoking life
I remember that when I was drinking I could not even wash my clothes, I never cooked, I could not do anything. I just spend my free time with hangovers, sleeping, depressing. All unusefull things. I still learn a lot of things, life is still not easy but it’s not that scary and depressive how it was some years ago. I learn a lot about self-improvements. I set goals in my life. Its a big progress for myself. Now today again the first day as I am not smoking – wish me luck to keep stay away from cigarettes.
Make a decision
I understand one thing-when you want to quit smoking there is no later or someday in the future. It’s NOW AND TODAY. Say to yourself “I want to quit smoking now”. Say it again I want to quit smoking now and forever. Take a decision to quit smoking now, watch the movie, read the book and then just one rule – don’t take the first cigarette.
Is there anyone from my readers who also changed a lot in their life and now see the difference?

Some days for me, I think about out going back.. because of one reason. Im not happy with myself right now. I bet you a lot of people smoke is because of depression. You have to find out what makes you happy. Something that can keep cigarettes off your mind

Yes, you are right. When you feel down you want to drink or smoke and it is very hard when you cant do both 😦 like me. You are very right also about find that happy thing – I also find out when I am not smoking I am much happier, I do a lot of more things, and I feel happier that I dont have any addictions. I am free. I feel so powerful and try to reach my goals.
But wait did you said that you don’t feel happy about yourself and thats why want to start smoke again?

Can’t depend on someone to pick you up. I had no support until I met my husband. My whole child hood was ruin. Still till this day, i have problems with bettering my self

I didn’t mean to pick you up. I mean to keep a connection with people who are on the same line as you. For me for example, I quit drinking and I am in AA. I try to communicate with people from AA. You don’t need to wait while someone will change your life but you need to keep people around yourself from whom you can learn or who would support to say good word. Need to accept that no one can help you except yourself.
