The Best Way To End Smoking Is The Natural Way
The author of the article has been a life long smoker from Europe. After moving to the US, and being detected with asthma, nearing her middle age, she was trying to quit smoking approximately on everyday basis, but all of the attempts unhappily did not succeed. Nicotine gum and patches didn't work for her, so she consulted her doctor, who joined her in a program and prescribed tablets, but that didn't her her quit smoking either. What she found was that a drastic change of schedule worked good in her case. Somewhat humorous came to to a quite serious issue recommends that everyone needs to get what works efficiently for them, as popular "one size fits all" approach never makes everybody satisfied.
In the first person: I was born 40 something years before in Europe, with a cigarette in my mouth. My parents smoked, my relatives smoked, my friends smoked. My father is 82 and still a chain smoker. Smoking is an unavoidable part of cultural habits, meeting people, and having excitement. For a culture that lives on streets full of cafes, smoking is not optional, it's nearly compulsory.
I was 13 when I got hooked on cigarettes, enough to start budgeting part of my everyday allowance for cigarettes. Mind you, I wasn't an outsider, a straight A student, from a rich academic family, I was truly trying to fit in. At that point, and even several years later, trying to stop smoking was not even in the back of my mind. It will take me 30 more years to get to that point.
Writer by occupation, smoking was vastly a part of my daily schedule. It was precisely like it used to be in the old black and white movies - me, the typewriter, and the big ashtray with the cigarette butts piled up high. Soon after I moved to the US, the problems with my smoking resulted. They were not simply of social nature any more; they became a health concern as well. Not just did I move to the Bay Area, California, which was the undoubted leader in the witch hunt on smokers, I was detected with asthma.
I could say from that moment on, 15 years ago, I was trying to quit smoking on an everyday basis. There was by now a drastic change in place for me - I couldn't smoke at my workplace any more and I had to time my smoking habits according to the office timetable. It was tougher at home since my colleague, an American, was a smoker also.
We decided to only smoke outside the home. That didn't work at all, since, sadly, it's California, the weather is pleasant year around, so we both finished up simply sleeping in the house, while living, eating, having friends over on the back yard patio. It's astounding with how much yard work you can spend - our postage stamp sized back yard became more like a jungle with heirloom tomatoes, tea roses, sweet peas, and citrus trees.
I lastly quit smoking cold turkey. Two years afterward, with a new lease on life, I'm proud to say - I haven't had a cigarette since. I know it very well: once an addict, forever an addict and I had my share of night sweats, nightmares, inevitable shivers, uncontrollable crying. But I can all the time say it was resulted by my divorce drama, not nicotine. Every now and then, during lunch break in the financial area, I stop by someone smoking in front of their office building. Second hand smoke still smells so good.
