Have you ever paid attention to your actions? What are the moments when you just can't cope without smoking? Research, performed in different countries, gave the same result: usually the cigarette is necessary to a smoker after experienced stress, or when a person has nothing to do and smoking becomes a way to kill time, and health in addition. I bet that the reason of your smoking habit was just mentioned. However, the non-smokers get stressed or bored too. Why don't they need a cigarette? Of course, you can say that nonsmokers have nothing to compare with, but what about people who gave up smoking?
The answer is simple: it is all about the habit. Smoking is usually called "a bad habit", but in the international statistical classification of diseases smoking is named "the nicotine dependence syndrome". From the medical point of view, you are sick. Your problem is not just of chemical, but also of the psychological origin. That is why, if you made up your mind to quit smoking, the psychological methods of treatment, like hypnoses, reflex therapy (visits to reflexologists), visits to psychologist or self-perfection, will be helpful.
This article is to help people, who chose the most difficult, but most available way to quit smoking - the way of self-perfection. Statistics shows that only 17 percents of tobacco dependent people can stop smoking following this method. And only in case if the dependence is of low degree. To give up smoking you need only two things: exact motivation and ability to distract your attention.
Motivation
First of all, if you have decided to quit smoking, it is important for you to understand that the cigarette, you had just smoked was the last one. That is it! Enough! Don't try to reach for the cigarette pack complaining that no one warned you how hard it is going to be! Knowing that this cigarette is your last, don't memorize every moment of the smoking processes; there are so many good things that can take place in your mind instead of the picture of stinky stick! Cigarette is evil. And having smoked your last cigarette try to realize that there will be less evil in your life.
Think about it when the pack of cigarettes won't be in your pocket, but in the dump. Your last smoke is the first step to healthy life, but it can be done only once, performing this process twice or more leads nowhere.
It will be a mistake to set as a goal the pure result itself. Proving yourself that you don't depend on nicotine is just a dare, not a conscious choice. And, in a months, you will celebrate your victory over nicotine addiction.
The best motivation is own health. Statistic shows that the highest percent of persons who gave up smoking is among people that passed through serious operations. All the rest are still thinking that there is no sense to quit smoking because perfect health will stay forever.
Ability to Distract Your Attention
While you were smoking the psychodynamic stereotype was memorized by you. According to it your hand is ready to reach for the cigarette any time you have experienced emotional pressure. It is hard to say what is necessary for you organism: the dose of nicotine, or usual ritual. But people who gave up smoking forever mention the ritual as the main reason of dependence. So the way out is to find something to replace the usual action of smoking: like beads or cell phone games. It is useful to talk to people who had already quit smoking. Watching at the actions of ex-smokers, you will realize that a cigarette can be successfully replaced by something else. Meeting a person that quit smoking is also a dare: "if he can, means I can, because I'm not weaker than he is?" if you can't find such a person between your friends try to use Internet and stop smoking support groups.
Besides everything that was told, I need to warn you, that to quit smoking is a hard task. Your organism will provoke stress situations itself to activate the first part of the algorithm, expecting you to finish it by a cigarette. This normal reaction has to be overcome. However, this is the stage there 83 percents of people give up. This is the time to remember that all the cigarettes of the world are not for you now!
And in conclusion. I know that while reading the article thoughts about smoking came up on your mind. Remember the words that were told before: getting back to the beginning of the way will get you nowhere. If you want to quit smoking without help of psychologist or hypnoses therapy, show your will-power right now by throwing away the last cigarette pack, your last pack.
