Smokers! It's Do it Or Die! So Let's Do It!

Next Day (the best choice), or The Day After, or Whenever

You most likely will not have succeeded in permanently stopping smoking at this point, but I'm pretty sure that like most, you were able to stop for at least three hours. This is a very positive step. You're on your way to a new life.

We must analyze this scenario. I'm sure you're not terribly surprised that you were unable to stop forever. After all, I did say you would most likely fail. But the milestone was reached - and that's what's important here. Failure is a part of life. Failure is by definition: (only) a judgment about an event. In this case, it means a judgment created by your own expectations. However, like a debilitating disease, failure can destroy those who have not been 'immunized'. Those who understand the lessons of failure are actually made stronger. You learn from failure - especially from a recent one.

Think about it: those who have not failed at trying to stop smoking - have never smoked. But with each failure comes knowledge. And that's where we're at. So far, you know you shouldn't smoke, and you know that if you stop, you'll no longer be addicted to nicotine. You know you're in a trap and it's just an illusion. And you know you're a disgusting drug addict, and because of that, you probably don't like yourself very much.

I guess you don't know enough yet though, because you're back. You most likely caved because you had an irritating, restless feeling that needed to be fixed, so naturally you thought you'd solve it by smoking. But you didn't really solve it, did you? Since your objective is to stop smoking and you are still doing it. Why is that?

You now know that you must be more prepared before you stop. By 'Prepared' I mean you must look at every situation and figure out what your problem was. Did you smoke when you first got up this morning? after you had sex? when you got in the car? at coffee break? before or after you had a drink? when you answered the phone? waiting for a bus? when you stepped outside? after or before a meal? . . . Or did you smoke without even realizing it?

Whatever it was that caused you to smoke that cigarette - you must analyze all of the excuses you made as you lit up - excuses to justify the fag you were about to smoke. Then you must prepare to counteract any negative thoughts and mental images with positive ones that see you as A NON-SMOKER.

After your first failure, it's important that you try to be conscious of every fag you smoke - You know that irritating, restless feeling I talked about? Well, this is where we face the filthy demon. You may have described it as a craving, but where did it come from?

Right now, I'm going to ask you to open your mind a bit. The craving that you experienced is actually coming first from your unconscious mind. Then your thoughts convert to your conscious mind. I ask now that you imagine that this craving is a disturbing demon in your brain - one that is full of poison that is seeping into your body and causing this disturbing feeling I mentioned.

The message I need to make loud and clear is:

You must kill this Filthy Demon

in order to stop smoking

Once again, very simple.

That's it - that's all.

Yeah right! You say.

I'm not going to tell you that the withdrawal from a major drug is easy. Nicotine is the fastest acting addictive drug in the world, but fortunately, once the intake is stopped, it also leaves our bodies quickly. As a result, it's an easy drug to beat physically.

How can I say that? Easy. You suffered no or very little actual physical pain during your first attempt at stopping. Did you? Three hours and virtually no physical pain. So now you know that withdrawal from nicotine is not really a physical pain. In fact, it's 98% mental.

Withdrawal from nicotine is tough, but not very hard to beat. In order to change your thinking, it's essential when you extinguish your last 'real fag', that you understand exactly why you smoke so that any feelings of panic you have disappear.
