Do Recliners Help People Quit Smoking?
If you have been hankering to curb your smoking but you haven’t been able to quit, here’s a new solution: Recliners. That look of unbelief etched on your face is understandable and also wouldn’t help your smoking problem. Yes, we’re talking about reclining chairs upholstered with either fabric or leather.
And now, the million-dollar question, how? How will steel, cushions, and upholstery assembled together help you sever your bond with your pack of cigarettes?
Before you read on, let me just remind you, keep an open mind. If you’ve tried other ways to quit smoking and they didn’t work, I’d say it’s high time you go with an altogether different approach.
All right. Ready?
Buy the best recliner you can find. Make sure you get the most comfortable, made with the best materials, manufactured with the latest technology in furniture-making, upholstered with superior leather from the finest cows in the country. If it’s the most expensive, even better. Line all recliner superlatives in this one piece. Ask a salesperson for recommendations.
When you finally have that recliner in your living room, do not sit on it just yet. There’s a rule to sitting on it. If you violate it, you will not sit on your expensive recliner. Ask someone to keep an eye on you, make sure you keep to the rule. As with any undertaking meant to make you stop doing something, you need self-discipline and someone to keep you accountable.
Set a goal for every week or month. Be realistic. For example, if you’ve continuously smoked in the past, do not make it your goal to immediately quit smoking or you’ll surely fail. Lessen your smoking one or two sticks at a time.
What’s the rule?
You will not sit on the recliner if you didn’t accomplish your goal.
If you smoked more than you should, too bad, you bought an expensive recliner you cannot sit on. It’ll be even better if someone else can sit on your recliner and make you green with envy. To spice things up, make a price tag for the recliner and slap it on. Make it as prominent as you can. That way, you’ll always be reminded of how much you spent on it.
If things were simple, getting a good recliner from a sale would work just fine. You won’t even need rules. Just sit on your recliner for hours on end and you’ll forget all about smoking. Tell everyone to stay away when you have that dazed and contented look on your face.
But most of the time, things are not that simple. Sitting on a recliner is one of the most comfortable and enjoyable ways to remove stress. Use it to reward yourself when you’ve accomplished your goal.
It’s difficult to discipline yourself? Of course it is. Can it be done? Yes, very much.
So what are you waiting for? Your luxurious recliner awaits you. Don’t let it wait too long.
