Become smoke-free: relapse once! Now I'm making the 2nd attempt | Life & Knowledge

I stink. I smell like cold smoke in my clothes and in my hair. And above all, it stinks that I still haven't managed to stop smoking.

My colleagues, my friends and my relatives have heard it from me countless times: “I’m going to stop this shit now. That was really the last cigarette.”

Well – just as many times after a short time I stood in front of them ashamed and admitted my failure again.

Physical problems caused by smoking

I've been hanging on to the glow stick for around 20 years – with a two-year break (how did I manage that?). I now physically notice that I give myself a good dose of poison every day. My condition is poor, I have to constantly Headache. Oh, and my taste buds were better too.

The last time I tried to escape nicotine addiction was in June. My first attempt with the smoke-free campaign by BILD and Jan BeckerTrying to finally quit cigarettes didn't work.

After four days, habit took over. I didn't last because the coffee would never finish in the morning if I didn't have it during it smoke. And because the bus would never come if I didn't relax and inhale poison at the stop. And sleeping would be impossible if it weren't for the bedtime fag.

You see what I'm getting at. It never worked because I'm stuck in my habits and, above all, I'm not at a loss for excuses. (Which stinks to me too.)

But now it's really over. On Saturday I allowed myself to be hypnotized again by Jan Becker. Today I left for a business trip. Without tipping in your luggage. Instead of it ending up in my handbag tobacco namely in the trash. So far I'm doing well – and I'm extremely motivated: In the second attempt I manage it: from 15 to zero (tipping per day).
