Quit Smoking Checklist

If you are planning to quit smoking there are some things you can do to prepare for the big day. The first thing you should do is write up a quit smoking checklist to help you stay on track.
This is a list to help you get going:
* Be certain you are 100% ready to quit.
* Set a quit date.
* Write down your quit date.
* Tell everyone you can think of that you are quitting and tell them the date you have chosen.
* Make a list of all of the negative possible health consequences of smoking; i.e., lung cancer, heart disease.
* Make a list of how your body is feeling; i.e., coughing, fatigued.
* Keep the quit smoking checklist with you and read it often.
* Before you quit smoking, eliminate cigarette triggers such as coffee or alcohol. Eliminate them one at a time.
* Write down all of the reasons you want to quit.
* Start increasing your daily water intake.
* Eat tons of fruit and vegetables and keep snack bags full of cut-up vegetables that you like and will actually eat.
* The night before your quit date, dispose of ashtrays, cigarettes, cigarette butts, lighters, etc.
* Take it one day at a time and know you will have some uncomfortable moments, but they will pass.
* Even if you aren't a journal writer, write in a notebook every day about how you are doing, etc.
* When you are having a craving, talk to someone, call someone and talk until the cravings ends.
* Have several supporters available to you and talk about quitting as often as you need to. It helps tremendously.
* Begin a walking routine and invite a friend (more talking about your quit smoking journey on your walks).
* Add things to the quit smoking checklist if any come to your mind.
* Have some light hand weights ready and when a craving strikes, lift the weights slowly until the craving is over.
* Know in your mind you will succeed. If you fall off the wagon, know you aren't a failure, and just start over again.
