I don’t care if this is
your first time to quit. Or....... if you have tried before
and failed.
You really can give up smoking.
How can I be so sure? Well, just for a
moment...consider these facts now.
Really focus
on them.
Already since 1972, over 80
million
people in the USA alone have successfully given up smoking.
At one stage
over 60% of the adult population was addicted to this drug. Today it is
28% and dropping.....
If all these people can
do it (80 MILLION OF THEM!) - and they include EVERY TYPE of person imaginable - surely that is
PROOF that IT IS POSSIBLE to successfully give up smoking.
Or, at least you can start to think more positively
about giving up, can't you?
Fact two:
We now know from the latest scientific
research, that although nicotine
is one of the world’s fastest acting drugs --- the actual PHYSICAL
withdrawal pangs when you give up ARE SO MILD, YOU WILL HARDLY NOTICE THEM WHEN YOU STOP.
YES, you have read that sentence right!
When you give up smoking, the actual PHYSICAL withdrawal pangs
will be so mild
that you will hardly notice them.
Most people believe that the
biggest problem in giving up will be..." How will I
handle those
horrible withdrawal symptoms, when I stop. My life will be a
misery."
They don’t
exist.
I know you will want to argue with me on
this point, but let me first make the following points.......
A NEW REALIZATION
Yes, when you stop smoking you
will feel the desire, AGAIN and AGAIN to smoke.
We all know that feeling:
' I
must have a cigarette’.
But that desire in itself is not bad
or painful.
It is just
a feeling, a sensation we feel in our body.
However........
If we start to
fear that ' craving' or try to fight it or use willpower
to REPRESS it, -- "I wish this feeling would go away" we
WILL create
pain and tension.

KEY
IDEA |
This is what we
have always done
in the past.
That feeling
of WANTING to
smoke then becomes painful, annoying and terribly irritating.
Now this is the hard part to realize:
The
pain, the horror does not come from the desire to smoke, but from HOW we deal with this desire, moment-by-moment
WHEN we can't smoke.
Can I emphasize this:
You do not have to experience ANY pain or agony when you
quit smoking.
Yes, when you stop - you WILL experience a
...........
-
Temporary feeling of loss
-
A feeling
that you are being deprived of something
-
A feeling of emptiness
-
A
feeling that you will never be able to enjoy yourself again.
-
A feeling
that you must have a cigarette
These feelings, although
very real in themselves are not bad or painful.
What is
important is how you deal with these feelings when you quit
smoking.
The
key part of giving up smoking naturally is learning how to deal with these
feelings when you quit.
