List your reasons there.
When you've done that, you're ready to come to this thread, in order to build on that.

One of the techniques for building your motivation to quit smoking is to collect a long list of reasons. Ask everyone you know to give you a reason to quit. When you think you’ve exhausted your list, then finish the following sentence as many times as you can: "If I didn’t smoke, I could..." You can fill in the sentence with a variety of ideas or goals that you have. Make your reasons specific and personal. Instead of saying, "I want to quit for health reasons," say, "I want to quit so I can breathe easier." Or, "I want to quit so I don’t get emphysema like my uncle."
Making lifestyle changes can help you quit and stay smoke-free. As you read the following questions and responses, think of additional things you can do to make lifestyle changes:

What will you do to make cigarettes harder to pick up?

• Avoid exposure to cigarettes. Limit time spent with people who smoke.
• Alter your daily routine. Take a short walk during a break instead of smoking.
• Get rid of all the cigarettes in your home, car, desk, or office.

What will you do to spend more time in smoke-free places or doing nonsmoking activities?

• Reduce exposure to smoking triggers. These might include drinks after work or weekend card games.
• Spend time in nonsmoking places. This could be homes of nonsmoking friends, libraries, movie theaters, health clubs, gyms, or smoke-free restaurants.
• Spend time in nonsmoking activities. You might take a walk, attend classes or religious services, or spend time with nonsmoking friends.

How can you get support from others when quitting?

• Engage friends, family, or co-workers to quit with you or to support your decision.
• Get physical! Join a gym or a team sport, such as softball. Or sign up for an activity program, such as yoga or ballroom dancing.

What will you do to manage stress without smoking?

• Use the relaxation CD (it can be ordered for a nominal fee by calling your local Lung Association office: 1-800-LUNG USA, press 1. Or print out the deep breathing exercises posted here http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=100005 and have someone read it to you)
• Practice being in silence.
• Use the Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
• Increase your physical activity.
• Manage your time to include “Fun Time”
• Tell yourself, “This too shall pass.”
• Think of words such as calm, quiet, stillness, silence, serenity, peace…

What will you do to keep from gaining weight?

• Focus on maintaining your weight. Pay attention to how much you eat.
• Eat foods that are low in fat and sugar. Choose fewer sugary drinks.
• Balance the amount you eat with your level of physical activity.
• Understand that some weight gain may occur when quitting smoking. Remember that you can lose that weight again without going back to smoking.

What will you do to become more physically active?

• Get your doctor’s OK before beginning any vigorous physical activity.
• Start with a 2-minute walk.
• Challenge yourself to increase to 5-minute and then 10-minute walks.
• Make time for 10 minutes of moderate-intensity activities three times a day on most days of the week.

When you find yourself fighting a craving remember the three A’s:

1. Avoid the situation if you can.
   • Skip your coffee break if you usually take it with co-workers who smoke.
   • Leave the table right after dinner instead of lingering for a cigarette.
   • Stay away from bars and social events involving alcohol until your quit is strong.
2. Alter or change the situation.
   • Drink decaf tea or fruit juice in the morning instead of having coffee.
   • Watch TV in a room where you rarely smoke (such as the bedroom) rather than in your usual spot.
   • Put your cigarettes in the trunk of your car so you can’t reach them while driving. Better yet, don’t carry cigarettes in your car at all!
3. Alternatives or substitutes for smoking can help.
   • Chew sugarless gum or suck on sugarless lollipops.
   • Snack on raw veggies, such as carrot and celery sticks.
   • Chew on a straw or toothpick.
   • Use a relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and more, posted here http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=100005 to deal with a stressful situation.
   • Keep your hands busy. Wash them, or have something available to play with or fix.

Print these lists off and keep adding to them.
Nais gadol haya po!

Peace!
