What to do
if you REALLY don't care and just WANT to smoke.
1.
Again expect to feel like this. In fact you will feel like this many
times. And remember even the most acute craving will only last a few
minutes.
2.
Acknowledge how you are feeling. This is important. Realize if you keep
feeling like this it is quite normal and natural.
3.
Simply note and affirm to yourself : This is fine. It is
only my body registering it's demand for
nicotine.
4.
Stay in the moment.
5.
Don't make how you
feel wrong. Simply open to the feeling . Allow it to do
whatever it wants to do.
Say:
'Come on my friend - you can
do and suggest whatever you desire. I know your time is up
and the more I stay open to you without wanting you to go away -
in fact NOT CARING WHAT YOU DO - you can stay here all day if you
want -- the sooner you'll be
gone.'
6.
Now gently refocus
your attention on whatever you were doing. Treat it as a
game. Repeat the procedure as often as you feel necessary.
Soon there will be no need for
it...........
Failure is an illusion
When you are
ready, pick the day when you will smoke your last cigarette
and become a non-smoker.
You are now
just beginning on the journey.
Even though you are now or
shortly will be a non-smoker continue to read and reread
the course in
order to deepen your understanding and knowledge of this
simple psychology of non-smoking.
And another
point:
There is no such thing as failure. If you
should fail and start smoking again PLEASE,
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP
and think that you will never succeed.
The only
failure is if you were to give up and never try again.
 |
KEY
IDEA.
The only
failure is if you were to give up
and never try again.
|
LEARN FROM
YOUR FAILURE.
And discover where you
went wrong and start again.

off now on the road ... all our best wishes go with you.
You're not alone. We have all been there.

blood pressure and pulse rate to return to normal. The
temperature of your hands and feet will also have returned to
normal. |

Hours... |
......your
entire body to test 100% nicotine-free with over 90% of all
nicotine metabolites to have now passed through your urine.
You can also expect the symptoms of chemical withdrawal to have
peaked in intensity. Your bronchial tubes will begin
relaxing and thus make breathing easier, and your lung capacity
will also begin to increase. |
|
10 days
to two weeks..... |
...your body to
have adjusted to the physical functioning without nicotine and the
3,500 particles and more than 500 gases present in each puff. |
|
3 weeks
to three months.... |
.....your
circulation to have improved substantially, for walking to have
become easier, and your overall lung function to have shown an
amazing increase of up to thirty percent. |
|
1-9
months..... |
.......any
sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath to have
decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs thereby increasing
their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean, and reduce
infections. Your body's overall energy will have increased. |

......your
excess risk of coronary heart disease to drop to less than half
that of a smoker |

were an average smoker (one pack a day). Your risk of cancer
of the mouth, throat and esophagus is now half that of a smoker's. |
|

.. your risk of
coronary heart disease to now be that of a person who has never
smoked. Your overall risk of death has returned to nearly that of
a person who has never smoked. |
