How I Quit Smoking w Stress Reduction & Martial Arts
Charlie Kondek started smoking at about 17 or 18, “trying to be James Dean,” he says. Shortly after graduating from college, he knew he wanted to quit. Now 37, he’s a married father of two and a media relations executive in Ypsilanti, Mich. Here’s how he quit smoking with stress- reduction techniques, and how you can, too.
Smoking was one of the dumbest things I ever did. I started in high school and five years later I was trying to quit, going, ‘Boy, that was dumb.’ It wasn’t any one thing — just too many days of waking up with that yucky taste in my mouth, going out into the bitter cold to have a cigarette break, or trying to go up a flight of stairs and do something mildly athletic and having that horrible wheeze. It wore me down.
