How I Managed to Stop Smoking in 8 Weeks
I managed to stop smoking over the last eight weeks. I didn’t want to write about it initially because I was afraid I’d slip back to smoking. But, I think this is a journey worth sharing.
This story is not a recommendation, a piece of advice, or a method to quit smoking. It is just for entertainment.
I did not use any product or read books or articles on how o stop smoking. All I had was the right mindset and the right people around me.
I smoked for 20 years
I have been a smoker since 2002 and smoked a pack a day during this entire period.
I’ve tried to stop smoking multiple times, but they always backfired. I’ll stop smoking for 2–3 weeks only. By the end of these weeks, I would have gained five kilograms and would be back to smoking.
So, what makes this time different? And why did I even decide to stop smoking? — This is the exciting part.
Why did I decide to stop smoking?
Against all beliefs and assumptions, I just decided to stop smoking out of nowhere. I did not have a health scare. No one of my friends or family had a health scare — So why the sudden decision?
