Dump All The Old Quit Smoking Stereotypes!
If you want to quit smoking, it is also important
that you put aside all the old stereotypes
about people quitting smoking.
We all know them......
- People going mad for a cigarette.
- Pulling their hair
out.
- Feeling miserable and empty.
- Going through their
life totally obsessed with only one thing - finding a cigarette.
Please, please suspend all these horror stories.
They may have been true in the past, WHEN the majority of people,
either consciously or unconsciously used the old WILLPOWER ALONE to stop.
But not today.
A New Era of
Understanding
Today, if you APPROACH it in the
right way, it need NOT involve any of the above traumas.
This is important.
When you stop - yes,
you WILL feel something but there will be no physical agony, only a
temporary feeling that you are MISSING OUT on something.
A feeling
that you are being deprived of something SPECIAL --- but
these feelings will ONLY be temporary.
So
to quit smoking successfully, we must go beyond the old willpower method,
and discover the BELIEFS that are keeping us addicted to smoking.
You
must face up to the fact that :
|
You find it difficult
to quit smoking now because......... you BELIEVE that if you give up smoking now, your life will never
be as ENJOYABLE again.
In one sentence: You
believe your
life will be intolerable.

KEY
IDEA |
It is
these
beliefs that makes quitting smoking difficult NOT Nicotine addiction.
Right now, you are not only
physically addicted to smoking but you are psychologically
dependent
or addicted to
smoking.
| If your addiction were purely physical,
wouldn't all these nicotine patches have a 100% success record ? |
Yet, we all know that even if we use a
nicotine substitute, we will still continue to feel a terrible
desire to
smoke.
Again and again, we'll feel we must
'have a cigarette'. At
times, it will even get to the stage where we just don't care - even the
most dire health warnings will have no affect on us - we just WANT to
smoke.
Where does this desire come from
?
It comes from our conditioning.
We
have 'conditioned, or 'brainwashed' ourselves into believing
that smoking is an essential pleasure for us. That our enjoyment, even
our life depends upon it.
In fact, most
of us have a terrible resistance to EVEN thinking about
quitting.
Why ?
Because we believe that in order to do
anything about our addiction, i.e. quit smoking -- we would have to end our pleasure and ending
pleasure is something we have NO DESIRE to do.
This
is the only thing that is keeping you smoking
In
a nutshell: You won't quit smoking now because, deep inside you are
afraid...
-
Afraid
that you'll have to give up your favourite pleasure in life.
-
Afraid
that you won't be able to enjoy life or handle stress.
-
Afraid
that you will put on weight.
-
Afraid
that
you will have to go through an awful trauma to get free.
-
And
afraid
that you'll never get completely free of the craving.
All
of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear.
The
one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking is that you
fear it is going to be too painful or too difficult.
It
is this false BELIEF alone that keeps you smoking.
