WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER: Quit Smoking for Good – The ALERT Method

Have you tried to quit smoking, only to reach for your lighter again?  Expert Louise Ross has some tips on how to stop for good – especially now that it’s “Stoptober.”

You might want to try the “ALERT Method“:

• ADD:  Stop-smoking aids, like chewing gums and nicotine patches, can also help for when cravings hit.
• LIST:  Write down why you want to quit.  This can be for health reasons, for your family, or so your clothes smell better!  When you’re struggling, this list can help you focus.
• EFFORT:  Spend a few scheduled minutes, each day, to mentally re-affirm your goal or meditate about it.
• REWARD:  Count the money you’ll save, and plan to spend that money on a reward…  like a vacation!
• TOGETHER:  You might also want to buddy up with a friend or relative and quit together.
