Constantly remembering the quitting smoking benefits can help tremendously when your in process of giving up the nasty habit of smoking. If you own an iPhone there are quite a few applications that might support you in motivating yourself.
While I can’t say that I used them all, out of the five applications I downloaded I found iDontSmoke (app Store Link) by far the most useful and easy to use. This application will let you keep track of goals in an easy and visually appealing manner.
To do so, you simply put down the date and time you quit smoking, how many cigarettes you smoker per day, and how much a pack of cigarettes costs in your currency (of course you only have to do this only once, and not each time you start the application).
The application will then make your quitting smoking benefits tangible by telling you not onyl how many cigarettes you haven’t smoked since you quit, but also how much time has passed and how much money you saved.
The best thing, however, is that iDontSmoke lets you define goals and keep track of them. These goals can be based on a number of cigarettes not smoked, on an amount of money saved, or on the time not smoked since you quit. The main screen will then display the next goal you are going to achieve and in a separate screen you can take a look at all your achieved and future goals.
I found this application almost invaluable when I quit smoking. Having the chance to have a very specific numeric interpretation of my quitting smoking benefits was a major motivational help I wouldn’t have wanted to miss during the harder days and weeks of quitting.
