subject: Easy Way to Quit Smoking [print this page] This piece is all about my journeys in giving up smoking using the "Easy Way to Quit Smoking" technique by Allen Carr.
I have been a non-smoker for 3 years now and I truthfully feel a bit like I have kicked the habit once and for all.
Although it was not necessarily like this...
For many years I used to be a secret smoker and did not tell my folks about my habit.
I told myself that if they did not know it had been a positive because then I'd smoke less, but to be truthful I believe that I was just teasing myself.
The reality is that I felt embarrassed and deceitful ... And also had a lot of anxiousness that they'd find out my secret.
So for a year I attempted an entire range of stop smoking strategies including....
Patches - 1 month fail
Laser care - did not even stop
Cold turkey - 2 day fail
I am so puny ;- )
Nothing appeared to work till my best mate got me the Allen Carr book for a birthday gift.
The most important thing about Allen carr is that he used to be a chain smoker and then one day he gave up using hypnosis.
But he was not prepared to except the hypnosis was wizardry, so he probably did a whole load of study and discovered the explanations that hypnosis can sometimes make giving up so straightforward.
Let me ask you a question...
Has there ever been a time in the day when you went for three or four hours without a smoke, and didn't even give it some thought. ?
Me too ;- )
What Allen did was learn exactly how this works step by step, and how you can prolong this relaxed feeling to make relinquishing a piece of cake.
The technique is straightforward and it fundamentally goes like this :
1. Make a final, 100% call to give up.
2. Be happy that you do not have smoke anymore.
I know this sounds rather like a joke but there are some key ideas you want to learn before you can really feel assured with what I just recounted.
Well I am no exspert , but for what it's worth, I think I was able to give up so easily because I first made the firm one hundred percent decision never to smoke again, and then had the hypnosis course to help with the longings.
If you're really bored with smoking I suspect this stuff might work for you too.
