will power ! why am i lacking some of it,,,, how do i get it back to stop smoking?
Question:
Answers:
I must have been very fortunate with my parents because they certainly did not give into my tantrums but would explain that by me throwing a hissy fit just does not make them say yes to my demands.
Will Power comes from inside a person if your determined enough to want something it will happen,you really need to want to give up knowing that after 15 years it will be difficult and you have tried and failed it is so easy to say "Oh I failed so what makes me think I can achieve this time" also to fail and make 100 excuses is far easier than trying to keep going.
Your an addict with an addiction,like a drinker but there are people who can help and be supportive.
The market has various patches that you might try.
If your serious about giving up then you and only your sheer determination will see you quit, ask yourself.
Do I really want to stop am I doing it for me?
If you then decide you are going ahead with stopping be prepared for all the pit falls as you wean yourself take time out and do not put temptation in your way stay out of smoking environments,tell friends you trying to quit and need their support and do not get bullied.
Try to imagine the end results you will no longer smell like an ashtray,you will find your fitness level will improve,things will taste better smell better,and most important if you have family they might be spared having to life with a family member who could end up being in a grave yard,take yourself to visit a ward of cancer patients it might give you more insentive,but at the end of the day it is YOU and only YOU who can or can not make the decision.
Good Luck

will power is only what you want to do unless you want to you cant do anything.
Will power is the gentle teaching of mutual respect - it has no ego - it just develops peacefully.
have you tried allen carrs easy way to quit smoking?? if understood, it will affect the way you think about smoking forever.
Source(s):
Allen Carrs 'Easy way to quit smoking' Quitting smoking does not change your personality .you can develop your own will power by not giving in to your own weakness. even though you may have always got your way as a child , This does not have any thing to do with your will power as an adult. It sounds like you are trying to use your childhood to make a excuse for your self. I smoked for 26 years and stopped cold turkey , this was the best way for me. I'm not saying you can do this the way I did,but it worked for me. good luck
you don't need will power you need nicotene patches..those fags are pretty darn addictive
my will power is none existent but i quit smoking 6 weeks ago my doctors do a stop smoking clinic which gives advice and you go every 2 weeks to check on progress and to get patches there are 3 levels of patches im just starting the middle stage its hard work but im saving money actually im not saving very much as i found this great thing called e-bay! but at least ive got something to show for my money
i found it best to plan what i was going to do everytime i needed a *** eating a apple slowly worked and using the computer
now i know everytime i need a *** it will only last a couple of minutes
this is my second attempt after 22yrs of smoking (istarted young)
fingers crossed il succeed this time not just for my sake but for my sons sake as well and lastly when i was growing up no meant no and the only thing i got for temper tantrums was a sore throat and occasionally a smacked bum so nothing to do with will power
Wouldn't it be great if we could answer this question??
Can't say I go a lot on your theory though, being spoilt as a child is something that we all get over, (usually when we get a smack in the face by a kid that hasn't been spoilt) while still at school!
As for the stopping smoking bit, that would also be a great question to be able to answer, but no one can or nobody would smoke!
If I could just express an opinion here? I would like to say that it really makes me sick to hear some one say " I used to smoke but I gave it up, it only takes a bit of will power"
Nicotine patches don't really help, I was never able to keep them alight.
So I'm afraid that my answer to your question is that I don't have an answer!!
WEll first off all you gotta quit asking questions and just do it. when i quit i just done it i said i wasnt smoking another one and havnt since.. its kinda like getting up and going to work.. u just gotta do it to survive.. plus the sooner u quit the sooner your lungs will his you age times two is how long it really takes for your lungs to heal.. I don't know how to get "will power," but I can tell you how I quit smoking in 1990 and am still smoke-free. I had quit for up to 4 months once, but re-started. So one day I told God that if He didn't help me I was going to smoke until I was 90 or dead! I admitted my powerlessness over cigarettes and asked God to find me a way to quit that was just right for me. Within about a month a lot of things transpired . . . and He lead me to a book by the American Heart Assoc. that was 21 days to quit smoking. It walked me through three weeks -- week one broke the physical addiction, week two broke the habit, and week three broke the psychological addiction so I wouldn't re-start during times of great stress -- which I've had. I know other people who have cried out to the Lord for help, and He took them out of their addictions in other ways. They are still smoke-free, too. I was soooo addicted. I smoked first thing in the morning, before bed, in the middle of the night if I awoke, and I couldn't go anywhere without my pack. Sooooo, pray for the way that is just right for you. He loves you and wants to help you even more than you think you want help. Peace.
i went on this drug called zyban its available from your gp you take onetablet a day for 6 days and then two from then on and you must have quit by your 11th day i was really paniking by the 10th day i thought i could never do it!! on the 11th day i woke up and really didnt want a cigarette. and ive never looked back i havent hada *** for 9 months now and i dont think id ever wont another your gp will only give you 2 months supply of these tablets but after then you dont need them anyway. give it a go its worth a try and only the price of a prescripton good luck!!
Every new year of my life I do the traditional making of a new year resolution which I woefully violate a few days into the new year if not hours then I started asking questions Why Is So? Then I realised that it is not that the things I will to do are not achievable rather the fact I lump my will together. Then it came to me that one who will climb the ladder will start from the bottom, thus you need to take it one step at a time. Try quitting a day first then two days and so on till you achieve your goal. If you have difficulty you can buy a nicotine patch and try to avoid areas where others smoke freely 'cos it might kindle your cravings again. Finally don't feel discouraged if at first it doesn't go according to plans Plus encourage yourself in the Word.
Keep pushing it you'll get there.
