How to Quit Smoking - Learn about Relapsing Before You Start

Many people are afraid to make an attempt to quit smoking because they have heard that the risk of relapsing is huge and that such an episode is extremely discouraging. The truth is that this is a silly excuse, to say the least. Provided that you are well informed on what to expect and get advice on how to cope with the difficulties, you should not fear relapsing.

Statistical data shows that the relapse rate among people trying to quit smoking cold turkey is 95 per cent. The percentage is so high because nicotine is physically addictive. Doctors recommend using a nicotine replacement therapy so that you boost your chances of quitting for good by two times. The typical therapy involves using nicotine patches that are applied every day and nicotine gums, lozenges or nose spray designed to help you overcome cravings on the spot. The therapy is perfectly safe in healthy adults. It may cause minor discomfort in some cases, but this is rare.

It is crucial that you use additional aids that will help you quit smoking for good. Getting rid of physical and social smoking triggers should help you considerably. Finding effective ways for dealing with stress is equally important. Getting support from the people you love should motivate you to stay away from cigarettes. You may even want to reward yourself for reaching certain milestones on your way towards getting rid of your addiction completely. You should motivate yourself by writing down all the reasons that you have for quitting.

Even with the use of a nicotine replacement therapy and all other methods for quitting smoking, the risk of relapsing remains fairly high. The important thing to keep in mind is that people relapse not because they are not motivated enough or because they are weak. This occurs due to the physical addiction to nicotine that inevitably occurs in smokers. You should accept the fact that relapsing is possible and that it is not the end of the world. At the same time, you should not think of it as something inevitable. You need to focus all your efforts in staying away from cigarettes.

Now you know what causes relapsing and how to reduce the risk of this happening to the very minimum. The more organized and determined you are the higher your chances of quitting smoking are. You should not hesitate to use a suitable therapy recommended by your doctor. Remember that the physical addiction is very hard to overcome with strong willpower and determination alone.
