Have you ever paid attention on your actions? What are the moments when you just can't cope without smoking? Interrogations, performed in different countries, gave one and 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 was just mentioned. However, the no smoking people 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 sic. 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 quit 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
At first, 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 world.
Think about it when the pack of cigarettes will be not in your pocket, but on 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 to nowhere.
It will be a mistake to put 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 with a cigarette.
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 cense to stop 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 you 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 for ever 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 dear: "if he can, means I can, because I'm not weaker then he is?" if you can't find such person between your friends try to use Internet and special 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 overcame. 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 you will get 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.
