For me, quitting smoking is a battle of addiction and willpower, a long and painful struggle. Even Zeng Guofan, a generation of famous ministers, has experienced a difficult road to quit smoking. When he was young, he was addicted to smoking, and he was once addicted to the realm of swallowing clouds and spitting fog, but he also fell into the abyss of quitting smoking.
Tsang didn't quit smoking overnight. He began to learn to smoke at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and in just a few years he was plagued by a smoking addiction. Even as a student, he can't do without cigarettes while studying, and this smoking addiction has become a demon that he can't get rid of.
It was not until 1831 that Zeng Guofan transferred to Lianbin Academy, and the harsh rebuke of the dean, Liu Yuantang, made him realize his addiction to smoking. In order to express his determination, he changed his name and determined to change Zeng Zicheng to Zeng Guofan and change his name to Disheng. However, this decision did not lead to real success in quitting smoking, but ended in failure.
In the years that followed, Tsang fell into a vicious cycle of repeated smoking. It was not until 1840 that Tsang realized his incompetence and publicly vowed to "never smoke from now on". However, even though he vowed to quit smoking again, he still couldn't stick to it.
It wasn't until he was thirty-two years old that Tsang finally realized how important it was for him to quit smoking. One evening, he resolutely decided to get rid of the control of his addiction and smashed his beloved hookah and tobacco leaves with a hammer. This time, Zeng Guofan finally succeeded in quitting smoking, and he never smoked again until his death.
The reason why Zeng Guofan was able to successfully quit smoking was not only due to his strong willpower, but also due to a good habit he developed - keeping a diary. Checking and reflecting on his words and deeds every day helped him stick to his determination to quit smoking.
Overall, we can draw some inspiration from Tsang's experience of quitting smoking. Quitting smoking is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it requires action and willpower. Staying away from temptation and rejecting gifts from others is an important step in successfully quitting smoking. At the same time, a high degree of self-discipline and strict self-discipline and continuous reflection on one's own behavior are also an indispensable part of the process of quitting smoking.
