Do You Sincerely Want to Quit Smoking?

Many smokers have tried to quit, but after a couple tries without success, you become frustrated. You can't figure out what you're doing wrong. You've seen others quit for good, so why haven't you? You begin thinking maybe you just can't do it. But the first thing you need to do is ask yourself one very important question: do you sincerely want to quit smoking?

Many of you would answer yes without hesitation, but first really think about it. The key to this is what YOU want. If you think your answer is yes, think about why. Why do you want to quit? Is it for your health? Is it because you're just tired of nicotine controlling you? Or is it because your family or loved ones don't like it? Or they're worried about you? Or because people you know look down on smoking? Think about your reason and be truthful with yourself. Now that you have your reasons, do you sincerely want to quit smoking?

This is a huge mistake numerous people make when trying to quit. They think they want to quit, but their reasons are all wrong. Sure, it's great to want to quit for family and friends, but your main reason has to be for you. You have to be the one that wants you to quit. If you try to quit for others, it is almost inevitable that you won't be able to. Think about it. If you don't want to do something, but you do it anyway to please others, are your results as successful as when you do something you want to do? Most would answer no. If we don't want to do something, we usually don't do it at all or we don't do it to the best of our ability. The same is usually true with quitting smoking. When asking yourself "do you sincerely want to quit smoking" you have to really think and be completely sure of your answer. If you've discovered you want to quit for others, now you know the main part of your problem. Maybe now just isn't the right time for you. If you've discovered you sincerely want to quit smoking, great. That's the first step. And you will be successful in time. But you must be completely honest with yourself if you want it to work. Sometimes it helps to keep a list of all your reasons for quitting. But remember, that first reason should be for you, no one else.
