The Steps To Quit Smoking Hub

Updated on May 9, 2011

Steps To Quit Smoking-Why I Am Writing This Hub

I am looking for anyone who can provide me with steps to quit smoking.  You see the time has come and I really do want to quit smoking.

I have chosen a date.  That date is May 6, 2010.  Some may wonder why I chose that date.  Well it is my 43rd birthday and its time.

I have been smoking since I was 13 years old and as i write this hub I am smoking.  In all honesty I have had enough.  I know I have and I know I will quit.

30 years of smoking has probably done wonders to my body.  The good news is my doctor says I am still young enough that I my body could almost completely heal from all the damage smoking has done.

As I continue this hub you will see why I have made a hub to help me quit smoking.  I believe the hub will help me and help me keep accountable on that day that is quickly coming up.

Steps To Quit Smoking-Why Am I Quitting

I really am not sure but I am sure different people have different reasons for quitting smoking.

Well in this hub steps to quit smoking I will tell you my reasons. The problem is there are quite a few. I guess that's not a problem. That is probably one of the big reasons I am quitting.

The first reason is because I would like to be able to breath again. I work in the outdoors and over the last year especially I have noticed that I cant walk very far or do a whole lot without losing my breath.

Secondly I really am getting sick of paying almost 10 bucks a pack. I smoke on average of a pack a day. Hmmm looks like a very easy way to save 300 bucks a month.

Thirdly, as many of you realize smokers have quickly become the minority. I am sick and tired of people looking at me funny and telling me I stink.

Fourth reason I am looking at steps to quit smoking is overall health. Cancer is a word I am very scared of. I watched a couple uncles suffer and die last year from cancer and if I can help it i don't want to put my family through that.

Fifth-I want to see things. When I say that I mean I want to see my kids get married. I want to be able to play with my grand kids, and I want to be able to travel and not worry about my health stopping me.

Sixth-I want to live a long life with my wife. Many of you know how much I love my wife and I want to keep that for as long as possible. I know if I continue to smoke I am shortening the time with the love of my life.

Lastly I am quitting for me. In all honesty I have just had enough of everything about smoking. I just want to walk away and never taste a smoke again. I am not saying I will try and quit smoking. I am saying I will quit smoking.

Steps To Quit Smoking-So Why The Hub?

Some may be asking why I am using Hubpages for steps to quit smoking.

Well it really is quite simple. Over the last eight months I have made a huge amount of friends. Now I am looking for those friends and any new ones to keep me accountable as well.

I am hoping with the help of Hubpages I can make my quit smoking efforts go viral. That way quitting isn't even an option. I refuse to let myself fail with the entire world watching.

I can predict the support I will be getting from Hubbers and I know it will be huge.

I know there are many steps to quit smoking and I am sure Hubbers are going to give me a lot of opinions. I am looking forward to all the suggestions from Hubbers all over the world.

Steps To Quit Smoking-I Will Monetize This

I did a lot of hard thinking when I decided to do the steps to quit smoking campaign.

First I thought I would just go with the flow and talk about my quitting efforts.

Then I thought why not make a few dollars on my journey.  Now please dont think this is a ploy or anything.  I am very much going to quit smoking and my date is hard set at May 6, 2010.

However I believe this is a niche I could make a few dollars at as well so I figured why not.

I will be writing a couple more hubs, I have a blog I just started to add articles to and to update my progress.

I also have one program that I will be promoting.  I am planning on trying to quit smoking cold turkey but if that turns out to be an issue then I will be using this program because I truly believe in it.

So hubbers here is your chance to not only help a fellow hubber but to also follow me on my journey and hopefully I could be the inspiration that others may need to get started with their own quit smoking journey

Steps To Quit Smoking-Final For Now

At the end of the day with my steps to quit smoking I know some people will say this is just a ploy.

Some will say its just a way to push a niche.

For those I say think what you want. I have made a decision to quit smoking and I will. I would love to have thousands and thousands of followers who will keep me accountable on my journey.

My decision to monetize my journey wasn't a hard one. I am a marketer so I would be silly to not make a few dollars along the way.

Anyone that knows me knows I only promote products that I truly believe in. On my entire journey I will only be promoting one product because I have personally seen it work for many people.

Anyways it is time to move on and get writing articles and such.

Thank you to everyone who has decided to follow along on my journey and keep me accountable. Just think you are helping me save my life.
