Instructions
Step 1
State your desire to quit drinking and smoking. Realize what you need it for. Do not give up bad habits abruptly and unconsciously - this option is likely to lead to a breakdown and all efforts will be in vain. Deciding that you want to live without alcohol and tobacco is the most important step in breaking these bad habits. If you can convince yourself that you are capable of this, you will definitely succeed.
Step 2
Write down why you want to quit smoking and drinking. Finding the reasons is not difficult. It can be a desire to live a long life, a reluctance to recover from an evening of drinking, and even a desire to prove to loved ones that you are capable of such a step. Think and write on another piece of paper why you still drink and smoke. What exactly do these bad habits give you? Is the short-term pleasure worth your health?
Step 3
Try as little as possible to visit companies where they drink and smoke. Do not go to companies in which booze and cigarettes are a prerequisite for relaxation. Explain to your friends that you are trying to get rid of bad habits and therefore will not appear in group gatherings for a while. If your friends are real, they will understand and accept your decision. If misunderstanding and negativity is directed in your direction, no doubt change your social circle. Your health and the reasons for which you are trying to quit smoking and drinking are much more important than the unreliable people in your life.
Step 4
Save money that you used to spend on drinks and cigarettes. Every time you habitually want to buy a bottle of beer or a pack of cigarettes, put a certain amount in a separate envelope. In a couple of weeks, see how much has accumulated there. You will see how much money you have wasted, and even to the detriment of your well-being, and this will be very good motivation.
Step 5
To help your body cope with a lack of nicotine, help it in ways that are safe for your health. Try nicotine patches, chewing gum, or an e-cigarette. Do not hesitate to consult a doctor with your problem - he will help you make it easier for the body to survive the rejection of nicotine and alcohol addiction.
Step 6
Make your life more fulfilling. Try to take your free time so that you don't want to drink or smoke. Take up a new hobby or sport. This will add new colors to your life and further improve your health. Find like-minded people, because it is easier to fight bad habits in a company. In the future, like-minded people can become true friends who will be proud of your willpower, and you will reciprocate.
