- Do you want to quit, but you just don’t know where to start?
- This is easy: Start right here; it’s the only place you can start. Start by making a list of all the reasons you want to quit and all the reasons you still want to smoke, like I show you in this post.

When Will They Stop?
Have you been quit for a few weeks or a month? Are you starting to wonder how long you’re going to continue to have these cravings? Does it seem like the nicotine has got to be long gone, but you’re still having these craves? And do you still seem to think about smoking (or not smoking, as the case may be) all the time (or a lot of the time)? Do you wonder when that will stop?
Getting Back to Normal
Have you quit smoking? Does it still feel strange to you not to be smoking? Uncomfortable, even? Do you ever wish you could just “get back to normal”?
Dealing with Overeating
Have you quit smoking and stayed free for a while, but all of a sudden find that you’re starting to eat everything in sight at certain times of the day (or even all day long)? Have you been doing everything you can to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible now that you’ve quit, but now you feel like your eating is getting out of control?

I ran across an article today on Psychiatry Online (see excerpt below) that suggests that the reason why many smokers fail to quit is that they don’t get professional help.
