The hardest part of any quit is the starting so there is no time like the present to stop smoking.  You know you want to do it. Why set a quit day in the future when we both know that will give you x days to come up with excuse for not doing it on that day.  Don’t set yourself up for failure, take a few minutes to prepare then just do it. It really is that simple - 90% of a quit is in your head.

Overcome your fear, you have the power to quit!

As far as addiction goes, this is one of the best tricks to ease the mind in the early days.  In your war against smoking it’s best to take it one day at a time.  If your just starting your quit, take it by the hour. Tell your mind “I will not smoke for on hour” then move it to the next hour. Soon a smoke free day will have past. Start this again the next day and after a few days you should be able to move it to one day at a time.

As the first of many posts on PowerQuit.com,  I’d like to say it’s great to be smoke free!  I’m starting this site as an aid for myself and many others who want to quit smoking.  I found a need for a site that was not sponsored by  a major “player”.  You know, the ones who have profits to gain from your continued failure.  “Oh that didn’t work, try this it’s only $49.99 a week”.  While I wouldn’t mind making a few dollars from this site (I spent thousands on cigarettes, it would be nice to make some of it back), the main goal it to stay smoke-free and help others do the same, without the corporation’s goal of keeping you trying.
