*disclaimer - this worked for me. it might not work for you. so no hate, ok?*
i smoke. i like smoking, but i smoke too much. i noticed that smoking for me is like eating potato chips. if a pack is there? i take one out and smoke it, and then the next one, etc...
a friend told me to put the cigarette pack in the kitchen. in a cupboard. and leave it there. if i want a smoke, then i walk out to the kitchen and get one. but just one. then i go back to where i was and smoke it. as many as i wanted, as often as i wanted, but i had to leave that pack in the kitchen cupboard.
ok. i tried it.
so whether i was working or watching a tv show or sitting on the can, it turned into a deliberate effort to go to that kitchen and get that smoke.
not a "FUCK! I HAVE NO MORE SMOKES IN THE HOUSE!!!" thing.
but a "fuuuccckkk... i gotta to walk all the way over there to get a smoke???, i'll wait for the next commercial... or for the end of this chapter..." thing.
i cut my smoking in half almost immediately. its a start.
ok, maybe i am just that lazy and that's why it works for me . or maybe it might help you too...
