When should I quit smoking?
When I answer this question, most smokers are surprised, because the
answer is – Don't.
I don't want you to quit smoking until you have finished the course. And UNDERSTAND it!
If you don't……this can be one of the biggest mistake you can make.
Most people are convinced that quitting smoking is all about willpower
and suffering.
So then they conclude: If we can force ourselves not to smoke for long enough, then the desire to smoke will simply fade and we will be cured.
THE ART OF FLYING
Let me illustrate this point another way as it is very important.
Suppose you were afraid of flying?
Do you think the first thing your therapist would do would be to drag you screaming and shouting on to an airplane to cure your fear?
Of course not !
First, in the quiet of his office, he would explain the psychology behind his treatment.
He would probably trace the origins of your fear and then design a gradual step-by-step program for you.
AND THEN AND ONLY THEN when he was happy that you were fully prepared and understood exactly what you were doing, would he allow you to take your first step onto a plane.
Why not take the same common sense approach to giving up smoking?
-
Let me teach you about the simple psychology behind non-smoking.
-
Find out why you may have found it difficult in the past
-
And learn the simple steps that you can take now to quit smoking forever.
In other words: Be fully prepared before you begin the journey….and then the journey will be a joy and an absolute success.
And ENJOYABLE!
