Handling Guilt If I Try To Quit And Fail At Times
Quit Smoking Secret #1 Know yourself! Knowing why you smoke will ease your efforts as you quit.
Know Yourself!
As an Australian, this tobacco insider is blunt, ONLY a smoker knows how bloody difficult it is to give up. ONLY a smoker knows the fear of no more cigarettes, ever. ONLY a smoker knows how often they have thought of giving up, have tried to give up, and have failed, leaving them feeling inadequate, and demoralised.
He was a heavy smoker and he worked in Research for the Tobacco Industry and with his system, he believes you can quit smoking.
Hes not looking for superhuman commitment, superhuman willpower, or the superhuman focus needed to go Cold Turkey on one of the nastiest, most dangerous and addictive habits known to humanity. If you had any of these superhuman traits you would have quit by now.
He is offering these secrets to you, the smoker who wants to quit, who has tried to quit many times, tried to cut down many times, who feels somewhat guilty about smoking and knows secretly that they ought to give up, but who probably enjoys the habit and rewards of cigarette smoking.
Secret 1 Know Yourself! He is convinced that unless you really understand this secret you may have almost failed before you start.
You have to begin to quit smoking by thinking about why you smoke, when you smoke and what you get out of it. Let us start with why you smoke and when you smoke. Here are some typical reasons people give for smoking;
It relaxes me
It helps me mix with folk
It is really cool
It gives me time to think
It starts and ends my day
It is really enjoyable to smoke with and after a meal, or with a drink
It is simply a habit
Every smoker will relate to some or all of those, and understanding yourself and your reasons for smoking will help you to quit.
It will help you to quit for two main reasons, one, because you will be able to choose a method that will address your particular needs, and second because you will know when your Danger Times are for smoking and using a good quit system you can minimise or avoid them while you are quitting.
Finally, dont panic about missing out on some, or all of these pleasant situations once you have quit, any good system for quitting will take account of why you smoke and will help you deal with your particular needs as you quit, and give you strategies to enjoy these types of situations after you quit.
His system works this way, and will free you from smoking and will help you overcome the pleasure you currently get from cigarettes in other more beneficial ways.
So, Secret 1 Know Yourself! Means blanket programs that simply say Slap on a patch, Chew gum, Get hypnotised, or whatever, without carefully allowing you to understand why you smoke, have little chance of success.
