How to Stop Smoking With Family Support
Often people only ever consider giving up smoking when they get to an age where having a family of their own becomes important and protecting that family at all costs. When you get to the childrearing' age, you now realise the effect that your own health will have on your family especially dependents. This is when you should embrace family support to help you stop smoking.
Obviously, you will not succeed at giving up smoking unless you really, subconsciously want to. We all know smoking is bad for us. It affects your heart, your lungs, your liver, your skin. The fact that you are poisoning the very air you breathe is rather alarming in itself, but we still smoke. What is even worse, is that we now know that second-hand smoke is just as life debilitating, so now you have the added pressure of realising that you are inadvertently harming the people closest to you in your life. This stresses you out so much that you need to go and have another cigarette! It is a vicious circle and perhaps only family support will help you break the chains of this massive addiction. And yes, it is time to face up to the harsh truth that you could be giving your children, croup, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, eczema and ear infections not to mention their little lungs too.
Smoking is incredibly addictive, which is why some people find it so hard to stop completely. Cigarettes do affect your appetite and your metabolism, and they dull your taste buds, so people often gain a few pounds when they give up. You can prevent that by doing more exercise and staying away from high calorie foods. Your family can support you by all eating a healthier diet together (keep the chocolates out the house!) and combat your slowing metabolism by you all enjoying some active time together. It is boring going for a walk in the rain by yourself - but add a football and a grubby child or two to chase after and it becomes a whole lot more fun!
Family support can come from your parents or partner too. As I already stated, you could all have a healthier diet together. However, they can make sure that you are distracted from your triggers'. Some people find it easier to stop smoking by disappearing' from the world for a day or two. For example, just by staying in bed (where, let's face it, nobody smokes nowadays) when you are ill with flu, rather than dragging yourself outside in -10 degrees snow to have a cigarette. If you have an understanding partner, they could let you off the household duties and childrearing long enough to recover and without the stress trigger going off!
Children can be very understanding and if you ask them to bear with you, I'm sure they will be happier than you can imagine that you are finally quitting! They would rather have you around longer!
