you are in control not the nicotine

If you think about when you first started smoking, you did it through choice. You might have been keeping up with your friends, wanting to look older, or perhaps all your family smoked so you thought it was the 'right' thing to do.

What happened next, is that as you continued to smoke, your sub-conscious took over. It said 'Right they want to do this, so I'll help them make it happen and they don't even have to think about it'.

The sub-conscious part of the mind knows that you can only consciously concentrate on doing one task at a time, so the more jobs the sub-conscious can do on your behalf, the better.

Now, your sub-conscious will do everything it can to protect you. If you step out onto the road and there’s a car coming, you will jump back, without even thinking about it, you’ll get out of the way.

Your sub-conscious is also protecting all of your habits, it doesn’t want you to forget to drive just as you turn out onto the main road, it doesn’t want to forget to swim half way across a river.

Your sub-conscious works very literally. It only sees black and white - either you want to do something, or you don't. And by continuing to smoke, it has learnt that is what you want, so will do everything in it's power to help you continue your choice.

To truly stop smoking it is your sub-conscious mind that has to do it. Your sub-conscious needs to be told, 'I don't smoke'.

If you compare nicotine to something that is addictive, like heroin, someone trying to give up heroin will get the shakes, sweats, heart palpitaitons, sickness, nausea and even hallucinations. Now someone trying to give up cigarettes might get a bit bad tempered, but it's not the same.

The heroin addict can’t go through the night without his body waking him up for more heroin, as soon as the heroin wears off he has to put more heroin into his system just to keep himself going.

The only heroin addict that can go through the night is also an alcoholic, as the alcohol numbs the senses so he can get a good night sleep, but when he wakes up in the morning he has to have all the heroin that he missed from the night before just to get out of bed.

Now when was the last time you woke up on the hour every hour for the cigarettes your missing during the night? You don’t need all the cigarettes that you missed from the night before just to get yourself out of bed in the morning. You might need one or two, out of habit, but not all the ones you missed from the night before. So that might be 20 during the day , but none at night. Funny that.

Q:"Do you smoke at times of stress?"
A:"Yes, if it wasn’t for the stress of my then job I’d be able to give up easily."
Q: "What days do you work?"
A: "Monday to Friday"
Q: "How many do you smoke over the weekend?"
A: "about 20 a day"
Q: "How many do you smoke weekdays?"
A: "The same, about 20 a day"

It’s the same, day in day out. You don’t have a good day and forget to smoke and you don’t have a bad day and smoke 80. Stress is a good excuse but that’s all it is.

Nicotine is a poison and every time you smoke it nakes the heart incres by 10 beats a minute as the body tries to flush it out of your body

You know that someone getting at you to stop smoking or someone making you feel uncomfortable about smoking doesn’t make you stop. In fact it often has the opposite effect. This is exactly the same mistake that misguided government campaigns make when they try to have you to associate smoking with unpleasant images of death and disease. All they end up doing is training you to make unpleasant associations to the idea of stopping smoking.

What happens with hypnosis is to associate powerful positive pictures and ideas to being a non smoker, so that your mind simply makes the switch, in its own time, attracted by the positive images. You can then imagine how different your future life might be, completely smoke free.

It is this combination of psychologically pulling you towards being a non smoker and pushing you away from your past that is so effective.

As soon as you have the thought, you should stop smoking. Act on it. Do it now. Don't make excuses to delay until next month. All those excuses will still be there next week or month to stop you succeeding. If you must wait then make a definite date and time to stop.

If you stop now, your body is going to have to fight hard to clear those lungs. In fact it's going to take it 3 years. Statistically at the end of those 3 years you can look forward to another 7 years of life. You can't afford to put it off.
