Hypnosis.
My mom had to quit smoking when Dad had a heart attack in 1983; she went to a hypnotist to help her quit. In all fairness, she said she wasn’t quite sure whether the hypnotist himself helped her quit or whether it was her Scottish heritage saying to her that she was spending money for the treatment and it had better work.
Her posthypnotic phrase that she was supposed to repeat was, “I do not want to smoke; I do not need to smoke; I do not like to smoke.”
If you quit smoking, then there will be one fewer smoker in the household and there will be that much less smoke clinging to the walls, carpets, etc. Your life will improve.
It will be a hard road if you continue to think of smoking as a temptation. Hypnosis could get you to think of smoking in another way (whether it’s “disgusting habit” [or other posthypnotic suggestion] or “habit which I’m spending money so I can break”), which is why I suggested it.
Also, is it possible for you to find another living situation where you are not surrounded by smokers?
The day before payday you can whip $ 35.00 (or more ) out of your wallet and say “look what I saved by not smioking.”
Interesting question > I stopped in 1990 for a year; I started again cos I got slack.
BUT my girlfriend at the time kept smoking and it never bothered me.
For a few years I said that I’d give it up on my birthday if I reached 60.
Who knew I was gonna make it? It wasn’t Plan A.
Anyway New Year’s Day 2007 I stopped.
My two best (only) mates come round to my house and they smoke in the house – it stinks a bit when I leave and come back but some incense does the trick.
Neither of my mates’ wives smoke – one gave it up over 20 years ago and the other gave it up 4 weeks after me.
Being smoke-FREE is a personal choice; I did it for ME; not to make anyone else happy.
There are times when I’d love a puff but eventually I’d have to go through the giving up process again.
There are SOME benefits to being smoke-free: I save $200 per month BUT my favourite is that I feel I have beaten being a SLAVE.
When I see people smoke I thank god (in whom I don’t believe) that I am free from slavery.
I can drive long distances without a cigarette.
I can leave the house without a cigarette.
I can talk on the phone without a cigarette.
I can drink tea without a cigarette – I used to drink a lotta coffee in my house now I can only drink it in other people’s houses.
The downside is that I put on 15 Kilos.
When I stopped in 1990 I put on 10 Kilos and didn’t lose it when I started smoking again.
That’s about 25 Kilos too much BUT I’m not going to hassle myself too much about it.
I know it’ll come off when I start exercising more and eating less.
Stop for your own reasons.
NEVER blame anyone that you ‘can’t smoke’.
NEVER fall into the trap of getting cranky so you can tell yourself it’s okay TO smoke.
Smoke addiction is a game that never ends – I’ve known people who have gone without a smoke for years and just taken it up again.
The only way you can WIN the game is to smile and refuse to take the first puff.
Good luck and don’t get stressy over it – it’s as easy as you want to make it.
