Smoking Cessation
The majority of smokers who try to stop have been smoking on average between five and 35 years. Anything that is done for this length of time is a deeply engrained habit. The following section will give you the assistance that you need to break that habit and replace it with a new one of health if you truly have a desire to quit.
Helpful Tips
Before beginning your smoking cessation program, there are a few preparations that you should do. First, dispose of any smoking paraphernalia such as cigarettes, ashtrays, lighters, matches. Even though you may have other uses for lighters and matches, such as lighting candles or your gas stove, it is important that you get new ones and destroy the ones that you used for smoking.
The reason for this is that each time you use the same lighter that you used for smoking you are sending yourself subconscious triggers, reminding you that this is the same lighter you use for smoking and possibly causing more cravings.
Fact
Drinking water whenever you have a craving will also help you to flush out your system quicker as well as help you to not gain weight. The reason most people gain weight when they quit smoking is that they replace their smoking habit with a habit of eating rather than drinking water.
Next, replace any ashtray throughout the house with a bottle or a glass of water for the next week. If at any time after you have quit smoking you walk by where you used to have an ashtray and begin to get a craving, simply take eight deep breaths and a sip of water for the craving to go away. The purpose of this is to create a new habit that will replace the old one.
Alert!
Clean out your ashtray in your vehicle if you used that for smoking. You should not just empty it; it should be cleaned out well so the car does not have the smell of cigarettes in it.
Taking eight deep breaths will deliver more oxygen within your system, which will help you relax. Relaxation is one of the top reasons why most people state that they smoke. By taking a sip of water, you are replacing the bad habit of smoking with a good habit of drinking water.
The most important thing that will help you remain a nonsmoker is to hypnotize yourself utilizing the follow-up session for an additional 20 days after listening to the following smoking cessation session. Keep in mind that just listening to a session once does not create a habit. A habit is developed through repetition.
