Bible Note: MRkornman, I have been there. What worked for me was this. For about two week prior to quiting I constanly reminded myself of all the downside effects of smoking: cost, lung cancer, hazard to other family members, going out in the cold to smoke, the smell on clothes and in the house and on and on. The day I quit I dealt with one urge at a time and concentrated each time on all the benefits of quiting: better health for me and family, sleeping better, food tastes better and so on. I also allowed myself to eat and did gain weight but after three months went on a diet and lost it all. I also found it helpful to replace the old bad habit with a new one even something as simple as chewing gum which is not addictive and easy to quit. I had to take asprin for a few days for the withdrawal headaches. After that it is all psychological. After two weeks the urges become less and less frequent. That is how I quit. My father who had smoked for 30 years went to a clinical psychologist who specialised in this area with hypno therapy and he quit without any withdrwal symptoms at all and never started again. The psychologist spent several hours in the initial interview getting great detail about when and in what circumstances my father smoked and how he felt at those times and how he felt when he tried to stop previously. In the second session which lasted several hours he placed my father under hypnosis in a conscious state and dealt by suggestions with in great detail with all the details he had previously gathered in the first session. Don't give up, you can do it and you will feel better and enjoy life more when you do. Emmaus |
