Smoking
1. Set your date and time to stop
You’re going to quit smoking naturally so carry on smoking as usual until then.
2. Look forward
Remember – you’re not giving up anything because cigarettes do absolutely nothing for you at all. They provide you with no genuine pleasure or crutch, they simply keep you addicted – a slave to nicotine.
3. Socialise as normal
You won’t be craving a cigarette so there’s no need to avoid smokers
Do not try to avoid smoking situations or opt out of life. Go out and enjoy social occasions right from the start and do not envy smokers, pity them.
4. Think about smoking
Don’t try to “not to think about” smoking – it doesn’t work. If I say: “Don’t think about a brick wall, what are you thinking about? Just make sure that whenever you are thinking about it, you’re not thinking: “I want a cigarette but I can’t have one” but instead: “Isn’t is marvellous: I don’t need to smoke anymore and I don’t want to smoke anymore. Yippee, I’m a non-smoker!” Then you can think about it all you like and you’ll still be happy.
5. There’s no such thing as “just one” cigarette after you quit smoking
Never be fooled into thinking you can have the odd cigarette just to be sociable or just to get over a difficult moment.
Drinking alcohol
1. Everything starts with you. Write down the reasons why you are looking to stop drinking. These reasons can be related to your health, relationships, career, children and sleep.
To ensure you see your goals every day by writing them down on a piece of paper and placing them front and centre somewhere like your fridge, mirror or work locker well serve as a reminder that you want to stop drinking and make sure you actually cut back on your alcohol consumption.
2. Reward your progress. Set small goals and reward yourself for achieving these.
3. With all of your new found energy it is time to look at finding a new hobby or perhaps something creative to work on. There are so many things that you can do with your new found free time and really begin to take back control of your life:
Start a gym membership
Learn to play guitar (for ex.)
Spend more time with your family
4. Set a goal or challenge yourself. Do a "One Year No Beer" (for ex.) challenge
5. Share your goals with those closest to you. When you do this you can ask friends to hold you accountable.
Drug addiction
1. Surround yourself with supportive people. One of the most important things you can do to stay sober is to find friends who are sober, too.
2. Exercise. Working out is good for the body and the mind. As your physical health improves, you’ll also experience the “natural high” of endorphins, which can elevate your mood. And an exercise routine creates a structure to your days, helping to reduce your risk of a relapse.
3. Eat well. The food you eat has a serious impact on your wellbeing. By making sure you consume a healthy, well-rounded diet, you’ll keep yourself in shape – both physically and mentally. And if you’re feeling good, then you’re less likely to turn to drugs for a mood booster.
4. Meditate. Mindfulness exercises have been proven to relieve stress and anxiety, as well as to decrease blood pressure and improve immune function. Developing a meditation practice can help you to find calm and peace.
5. Seek professional help. Recovery from drug addiction is hard, and there’s no shame in asking for extra help from a medical professional when you need it.
