There are quite a few different programs out there to help people quit smoking. None of them are quite like this program. I have tried to make this as unique as possible. At the very least, this list is not boring.
1. Throw away all the cigarettes you own. I don't understand why people think that they will be able to quit if they keep the substance that they are addicted to. If you keep your cigarettes then you are not really quitting. You will only have a shot if you get rid of all of them.
2. Go out partying. The night that you quit smoking should be one of the most fun nights of your life. Rent a room at a fancy hotel, and throw a party with all of your friends. Reward yourself for starting this plan.
3. Exercise. The day after the party, you should start exercising more than you ever have before. You should start a routine that you can follow every day. Over the next few weeks you should get getting into the best shape of your life.
4. Eat everything. Since you are exercising, you can afford to eat a little more. Some people complain about gaining weight when they quit smoking. Forget about that. When you quit smoking, you can taste better than ever. Food will be more delicious to you. Enjoy the taste of the food. Eat plenty of it. Just make sure you counterbalance it by exercising like mad.
5. Try new things. The more you separate yourself from your old life the better. Become a new person. Try to be more energetic, and try to have more fun. Go on an adventure. Spend your whole day dreaming up an adventure, and then do it.
6. Be romantic. If you have a partner, then be romantic with them. If you don't, then pursue a love interest. Being romantic can be the most thrilling experience of a lifetime. Falling love, risking everything for them, and being swept away or left in the gutter will be as close to living as you ever get.
7. Spend some money on something you want. You will be saving a lot of money by not purchasing cigarettes. Save this money in a jar for the first few weeks. Watch it add up, and then spend it on something fun. Life is more fun now that you aren't smoking.
8. Start taking yoga classes. By now you're healthier than ever before. So, why not take a crazy class that you never thought about before. You can increase your balance, strength, and flexibility with yoga.
9. Stay away from situations where you see other people smoking. After you have quit for a while, you might be more tempted than ever. Don't let other people influence you. You are so much happier now.
10. Never forget to reward yourself. Whether it is your one week or ten year anniversary of quitting, you should reward yourself. This is quite an accomplishment, and you need to remind yourself that you care.
