Cut your smoking in half or more instantly!
You want to quit smoking but you can't stand the thought of
losing your best friend the cigarette. So make that friend your
enemy and then it will be easy.
You don't need patches or pills or gum to quit smoking. All they
do is relieve you of the nicotine dependency. That's the easiest
part of quitting. It is said that you will be over the nicotine
withdrawal in about 72 hours.
The rest of quitting is the longing for your friend. This is the
part that you never get over. This is also the reason why many
people find it impossible to stay quit.
It's like the grieving you feel when you lose a loved one. The
problem is, all you have to do is buy a pack of cigarettes and
you will be happy again. You have your friend back.
So how are you going to make this great friend into an enemy?
Well it's pretty easy but you have to be willing to stick with
it for a couple weeks. Don't give in.
Make smoking as inconvenient as possible.
You can start with the obvious and decide you will no longer
smoke in your house and your car. This is often too easy of a
rule to break though. All you have to do is change your mind or
do it just this once. This is the reason why you have never been
able to quit before. You change your rules and give in to
yourself.
You could throw away all you ashtrays and fill the ashtray in
the car with hard candy. Again, if you decide not to stick with
this it is so easy to buy more ashtrays and dump the candy out.
You could buddy up with a friend and vow to quit together. The
problem here is you will probably end up cheating and this will
make you feel like you let your friend down. (He or she will be
in the same boat).
So what do you do? Well first of all, don't quit. Just smoke
less for a while. If you tell yourself you are quitting, all
those sad emotions are going to make you change your mind. So
don't quit.
You will eventually want to quit once you make your cigarettes
out to be the enemy but for now, you are not quitting. For now
you are just smoking less.
OK, so here is the information you have been waiting for...
Why do you smoke so much? It's because your cigarettes are
sitting right there. You probably smoke many cigarettes you
aren't even aware of. You just grab your pack and light one up.
By the time you are putting it out, you are thinking about
grabbing another one. Maybe not consciously but subconsciously
you are planning your next smoke.
So quit making it so easy to smoke. Put your cigarettes in the
other room. Put them in the trunk of your car. Put them
somewhere very inconvenient. When you decide to smoke, you will
have to put an effort into smoking not just mindlessly smoke.
If you have already made the rule about no smoking in your house
and are sticking to that rule, you are probably disappointed
with this article so far. Well, keep reading.
The main idea here is you have to make smoking a problem. Make
it a job, so to speak. If you make it hard enough to smoke, you
will eventually dislike smoking altogether. Your cigarettes will
be more of an inconvenience than a friend.
Take your pack of cigarettes and wrap them in foil. Put that
foil package in a ziplock bag. Put that ziplock bag in a plastic
grocery bag and tie it up. Store this bag on the top shelf in
the back of your closet. Do the same with your lighter or
matches except store it in the basement. Now when you want a
cigarette, you will have to work to get one.
Get one cigarette out and re-do the whole package. Put the
package back where it belongs. Go get your lighter or matches,
light your cigarette and put the lighter back in its package and
storage spot. DO IT! Don't say you will do it later. Do it right
now!
Next time you want a cigarette, you will have to start all over
again. This is going to accomplish two things. First of all, you
will smoke much less due to the big ordeal just to smoke one
cigarette. Second, you will start to despise those cigarettes
for making you work so hard.
The longer you keep this routine, the more you will avoid
smoking. Soon, cigarettes won't be that great friend you thought
they were. Gradually, you will train your subconscious to not
enjoy smoking. Some day you will just want to quit. Those pain
in the neck cigarettes will be too much of a bother to worry
about.
This will work. It worked for me and many other people I told
about it. Just remember you have to stick with it. You don't
have to quit smoking; you just have to be very orderly about
your cigarette storage.
