A
Question!
Let me ask you
a question?
If there was a way that you could
quit smoking and NOT have to
feel you are being deprived of ANYTHING and not have to suffer terrible
withdrawal symptoms, would you consider quitting?
The answer to this question
would be "Yes" from virtually every smoker.
We all want to stop, but we are
simply afraid of
how we will feel when we can’t smoke - and it is this fear alone that
keeps us smoking.

The
Fear Of Agony
|
|
The truth is
that most of us have convinced ourselves that we enjoy smoking, but
the truth is deep down, WE ARE TERRIFIED OF THE AGONY WE THINK WE
WILL HAVE TO FACE IF WE QUIT. |
Deep down, we believe that if
we quit smoking, our life will be unbearable.
From my own experience, I know
how painfully true this is.
I don’t know how many times I put off
quitting. I always had thousands, of what I thought were acceptable
excuses!
We all do, don’t we ?
But it was only when I stopped and was
really honest with myself that I discovered it was nothing but fear
- a
fear that was caused by one simple FALSE belief .
The
Illusion Of Pain
I
believed I would have to go
through hours and even weeks of agony as I fought those ‘terrible
withdrawal pangs’.
But, even worse: I just could not believe I could get
through a day - especially after a meal or in the pub after work - without
a cigarette.
The important thing, at this
stage is not to let these doubts and fears diminish your desire or your
belief that you can succeed.
Everyday, if possible,
you need to affirm your desire to quit.
In a
strong, positive voice, say to yourself:
|
'I am now going to
commit myself to stop smoking.
I know that I have a lot
to learn but I will learn it.
I know that, at this stage of
the course I will have many doubts and fears especially if I have tried
before and failed.
But I will not allow them
lessen my desire to stop. I will open my mind and examine all my beliefs
about smoking.
Surely, I can succeed.
90
million people just like me in the USA have done it. And millions and
millions more all around the world......
Of course it is possible.
I know the secret lies in not
trying to force myself to quit smoking through willpower, but
in
understanding and applying the simple techniques that thousands have
already used to free themselves permanently from this
addiction.
Now I will commit myself 100%
to giving up smoking.
I will prove to myself not only can it be done but
anybody can do it easily, simply and when they understand the principles
behind it - effortlessly'.
