Am trying to quit drinking coffee every morning but I cannot get over with it. I didn't have that habit til I enrolled in a graduate school.
But, I had to praise myself that I am improving with my coffee-drinking habit as I reduced it to a cup a day lately. When I was in graduate school, studying and attending classes, I drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day to keep myself in focus and destress myself. I depend coffee for my focus in school. Plus, smoking a cigarette a day during class breaks at school but I don't smoke anymore right now. |

Cut down one cigarette for a couple weeks, then cut down one more and so on?

Fly Free- Yeah, it looks like its hard for those who smokes to quit.. My mom has been smoking since she was a teen herself--She still does and shes in her 40's, unfortunately she's developing something in her lungs because she coughs often, even over the phone.. My stepdad used to smoke, he quit, I'd have to ask him how he was able to succeed into quitting for good..

Why is it so hard to break a habit?
I'd say it is the security. We feel safe when we have established a pattern, which may be associated from something positive or negative that occurred in childhood. Now just deprogram yourself... lol... negative reinforcement and all. I saw this show once on this OCD stuff... when this lady was a little girl, she picked a hair strand off her head and everyone in class was very impressed with her. She associated that feeling good with the hair picking habit... this followed her into adulthood, and I could see she had bald spots.. it wasn't pretty. Had to wear a wig. Let's say.... you want to quit smoking? I did it cold turkey, and would reward myself every day I was off the cigs. Positive reinforcement.. and I looked at disgusting pictures of what would happen with prolonged smoking... black lungs and all! I mixed in negative reinforcement with the positive reinforcement, and that worked for me. Just popped in Advils for those headaches... and I don't miss those cigs even today. Eh, it's totally up to you, though... either stay in your old pattern, or break it consciously.. healthy, gradually, or so.. |
