How To Quit Smoking For Free

When I was younger I used to smoke at least two packs of cigarettes every day. And I smoked a pipe too. I loved that pipe!
But then I decided to quit. I tried several times but it never lasted more than a week or so. Once I made it up to ten days, but I had the flu at the time so it doesn't really count I guess.
But all those times I tried to quit, I had no plan. I just stopped smoking cold turkey. That's why I failed!
I finally developed a plan, a method, and when I did, it worked and I never smoked again. It's been eleven years and I haven't had a single cigarette in all that time. Not one.
After that I taught my method for quitting to all my friends and every single one of them quit.
So now I will teach my method to you.
You need a few things. First, you need to pitchers. Regular pitchers will do, any time or shape though the bigger the better. You are going to fill the pitchers full of water and keep them in your fridge.
Next you will need a big cup. The biggest you can find. I used one of those thirty two ounce cups that you get from McDonalds when you order an extra large soda. It doesn't matter, as long as it's very big.
Finally you need some sort of food that looks like a cigarette. I used Twizzlers, but anything will do. Pretzel rods might work fine...something like that.
The idea is that you need something that you can hold like a cigarette, that you can chew on to give your mouth and hands something to do during the day since you are used to holding cigarettes all day.
Twizzlers are good because they are chewy and thus keep your mouth busy. Sure, I gained a few pounds but it was worth it. I bought twizzlers in one pound bag form cuz they are cheaper that way and you will go through at least a bag or two a day for the first few days.
So here's the main part of my method. The water. The reason why it's so hard to quit smoking is because you have all that built up nicotine in your body. I think it's in your blood stream or something. Whatever. You need to flush it out, and the quicker the better.
So whenever you have a major craving and the twizzlers just aint cutting it, go to the fridge, take out a pitcher, fill your 32 ounce glass FULL, and drink it RIGHT THERE. Don't leave until you've drank every drop.
Next, put down the cup and REFILL the pitcher. 32 ounces is a lot, and it will take a minute or so to refill it at the faucet.
Next, put the pitcher in the back of the fridge, and move the OTHER pitcher to the front. Why? Because in half an hour or so you are gonna have another craving and the pitcher you just refilled won't be cold yet.
That's it. That's the method! The ritual of getting and drinking the water lasts JUST long enough that your mind will be focused on IT, and not your craving. After you've drank the water, your mind will have moved on to another thing, and you will be able to cope without having a smoke.
In the mean time, if you do this six or ten times a day, all that water really flushes out your system in a hurry!
In a week, my body was really flushed out of all that nicotine. In two weeks, I pretty much stopped having massive cravings all day long. In a month they stopped all together except for the occasional one here or there. After three months I was done for good.
Try it, you won't be out anything if you do!About the Author:
