36. The main causes of failure

There are two main reasons for the failures.

The first reason - the influence of other smokers.

It may be that at the time your weakness someone lit up next.

I have stayed on this topic in detail. Use a similar moment to remind ourselves that no such thing as "just one cigarette" does not exist. Look forward to the fact that we were able to break the chain.

Remember that a smoker you envy, and regret it. Believe me, he needs your compassion.

The other most common cause of failure - bad day.

Before you quit smoking, be clear that the "good" and "bad" days happen to everyone, regardless of whether you are a smoker or non-smoker. In life everything is relative, and you can not only experience the highs, without falling.

The problem of smoking cessation in accordance with the method of willpower is that as soon as the smoker comes hard day, he begins to yearn for a cigarette, ensuring that only what is 'bad' day gets worse.

Non-not just physically, but psychologically better equipped to cope with life's stresses and loads. If, during the period of withdrawal you have a hard day comes - just do not be discouraged.

Remind yourself that difficult days in case you and when you smoke   (otherwise you would not have decided to quit smoking).

Instead of moaning about this, tell yourself:

"Well, today is not such a good day, but smoking does not correct. Tomorrow will be better, but for today, at least I have an amazing advantage. I got rid of the awful habit of smoking. "

When you - smoker, you have to block your mind from thinking about the dark side of smoking. Smokers never "smokers cough", but only a constant cold.

When your car suddenly breaks down the middle of nowhere, you light a cigarette, but you get with the joyful and happy? Of course not.

As soon as you stop smoking, you'll see the reason for all of life's troubles is that quit smoking. Now, if you have a broken car, you think, "Oh, that's the case, I'd have lit a cigarette."

That's true, but you forget that the cigarette does not solve the problem.

Yearning for illusory support, you are only punishing yourself.

You create an unsolvable situation: you miserable, because you can not smoke, but become unhappier if smoke.

You know that making the right decision, quit smoking, so never punish yourself, exposing him to doubt.

Remember: it is always particularly important positive mental approach.

34. Just one puff

This is - the death of many smokers trying to tie with smoking in accordance with the method of willpower.

They manage to live three or four days, and then they smoke the occasional cigarette or make one puff, to survive.

They do not realize the devastating action that have such actions on their state of mind.

For most smokers, the first puff tastes - nasty, and they think:

"It's great. It's not nice. I think I passed a passionate desire to smoke. "

But in fact, the exact opposite happens.

Be clear - CIGARETTES DO NOT fun.

Enjoying - not the reason because of which you smoked. If smokers smoke for pleasure, they never would have smoked more than one cigarette.

The only reason that you smoked, nicotine was to feed the monster.

Just think: you're starved him to death in four days. What is valuable for him was to be the cigarette, or even just one puff!

Common sense you do not realize this, but the information on the dose that will get your body will go into the subconscious, and all your careful preparation of collapse.

In the back of your mind you hear a little voice, which is to say:

"To say no logic, cigarettes - a valuable thing. I want another one. "

This "one and only" puff produces two harmful effects:

1. It supports the life of a small nicotine monster dwelling in your womb.

2. It is even worse, keeps life at the monster that lives in your mind.

If you did that, "only one tightening" - make the next will be even easier.

Remember: "just one cigarette" - that's how people and break down at the beginning of attempts to quit smoking.

35. Will I be difficult?

There is an infinite number of combinations of factors that determine how easy it will be no smoking for each individual smoker: because each of us has his own character, work, personal circumstances, timing, etc.

The representatives of certain professions to quit smoking may be more difficult than others, but it should not be - provided that "brainwashing" eliminated.

With this help us to understand a few examples. It seems especially hard to quit the medical profession.

We believe that physicians should be easier because they are aware of the impact of the disease and face daily evidence of this effect. Although this fact and adds compelling arguments to the desire to quit smoking, it does not facilitate the task.

The reasons for this lie in the following .

1. Constant awareness of the threat to health creates fear, becoming one of the circumstances under which we have to facilitate the withdrawal experienced by our meal.

2. Work of the doctor is associated with tremendous stress, and, as a rule, he is not able to while working to remove the additional stress associated with pangs of withdrawal.

3. The doctor feels the additional stress of guilt. He feels that should serve as an example for others. This puts it more pressure and enhances the feeling of deprivation experienced by them.

During breaks in smoking, hard-earned, cigarette instantly removes the usual stress, getting a great value: it is, finally, facilitates the withdrawal of flour.

This - is a form of irregular smoking applicable to any situation in which the smoker is forced to refrain from smoking for extended periods of time.

In accordance with the method of willpower he feels unhappy because deprived of cigarettes. Smoker does not enjoy any of the break to rest or a cup of tea or coffee, which he followed.

Therefore, the sense of loss is magnified and Communications Association, cigarette begins to control the whole situation in general.

However, if you manage to remove the first results of the "brainwashing" and stop dreaming about a cigarette, you will enjoy the rest and a cup of tea, even when your body still will experience a passionate craving for nicotine.

Another problem is the tedium, especially in combination with periods of stress. A typical example are the drivers and housewives with young children. Their work is challenging, besides most of it - monotonous.

During their attempts to quit smoking according to the method of willpower they experience long periods of time, during which they indulge in despondency because of the "loss", thereby enhancing the sense of deprivation experienced.

But, as you already know, this situation is easy to go through, if you are set up correctly.

Do not worry, you are constantly reminded that you quit smoking.

Use these points to once again rejoice in being rid of the evil monsters. If you are properly configured, this becomes uncomfortable for you to enjoy.

Remember, any smoker, regardless of age, sex, profession or intelligence can discover how easy and enjoyable to quit smoking, provided that you follow all recommendations.

33. The period of withdrawal

Up to three weeks after smoking the last cigarette you can experience so-called "withdrawal of flour."

They consist of two completely different factors.

1. The discomfort of nicotine withdrawal, a sense of emptiness and insecurity that resembles hunger - a feeling which is defined as smokers cravings or desire something to occupy his hands.

2. Psychological trigger (certain events or actions, such as a phone call or the completion of food, causing the familiar urge to smoke).

It is the failure to understand and distinguish between these two distant from each other factors greatly complicates smokers success when using the willpower. Misunderstanding and that is the reason that many smokers who manage to reach the goal, again fall into the trap.

Although flour withdrawal from nicotine does not cause physical pain, do not underestimate the power of their actions. We are talking about the "hunger pangs" when conducting a whole day without food; You can "rumble in the belly," but there are no physical pain. But even in this case, the hunger - a powerful force, and most likely we will be very irritable if deprive us of food. Something similar happens when our body experiences a craving for nicotine.

The difference is that our bodies need food and poison - is not so with the right attitude flour withdrawal easy to overcome, and they disappear very quickly. If smokers manage by willpower to refrain from smoking for a few days, soon nicotine cravings disappear.

This is the second factor, which generates difficulties. Smoker has acquired the habit of shooting flour withdrawal at certain times or in certain cases, giving rise to "an association of images" ("I will not be able to enjoy a drink without a cigarette"). Probably, this effect will be more readily understood by way of example.

Within a few years, you had a car, which turn signal is on the left of the steering column. In your new machine, he is right. You know he right, but in a couple of weeks each time you want to include turn signal, will include "caretakers."

Quitting smoking resembles something similar. At the beginning of the weaning period at certain points will trigger a psychological trigger smoking. You will be thinking, "I want a cigarette." If you are from the beginning confront "brainwashing", such mechanical reaction quickly disappear.

In accordance with the method of willpower smoker he believes that the sacrifices. Because of this consciousness in his bad mood, and he is constantly waiting for the pass craving to smoke. As a result, it only enhances the effect of psychological triggers rather than get rid of them.

A common trigger of smoking - a meal, especially during a meeting with friends at a restaurant, etc. Former smokers already feel unhappy because deprived of his cigarettes. When his friends light up, the feeling of deprivation increases. Now he gets no satisfaction from either dinner or what should have been a pleasant meeting friends.

When associating cigarettes with eating and socializing, the desire to smoke, as well as his sufferings, are tripled. At the same time increases and the degree of "brainwashing." If he is steadfast and will be able to hold out long enough, you eventually make your choices and succeed in life.

However, the impact of "brainwashing" is part and therefore a smoker quitting because of concerns about health or about their finances, even after several years in some cases continues to experience a passionate craving for cigarettes.

He suffers from the illusion that exists only in his imagination, and torturing myself for no reason. Even in my method most commonly associated with failure that lends itself to the action of a smoker psychological triggers. Ex-smoker inclined to regard as a kind of a cigarette or a placebo pill sweet consolation. He thinks: "I know that a cigarette does not give me anything.

But if I did not think about it, at some point it will be able to assist me. " Sweet pill, although not provide any appreciable physical assistance may still be potent psychological means allowing to remove real symptoms and thus benefit.

However, cigarette - not sweet pill. She gives birth to the symptoms that she herself and takes, and after a while, and it ceases to do; ie in this case, "the pill" creates disease, not to mention that it also is a poison - killer "number one" in the society.

You may find it easier to understand the effect on the example of a non-smoker or smoker, "tied" some years ago. Take the case of a woman who has lost her husband. At such moments, the smoker is quite natural intentioned to say: "Take a cigarette. It will help you to pull yourself together. "

If the cigarette is received, it will not have a calming effect: this woman has no dependence on nicotine and, consequently, no pangs of withdrawal from it, you need to make it easier. The only thing that can make a cigarette - provide momentary psychological support.

A cigarette smoked, but a terrible tragedy will not go away. It only worsened, because now the woman will suffer from a lack of nicotine.

She has a choice: to endure nicotine hunger or alleviate it, smoked another cigarette, but to put the beginning of this dependence. So, everything that will make cigarette - give short-term psychological support. But the same result can be achieved by expressing condolences and offered a drink.

Many non-smokers and former smokers acquired tobacco dependence as a result of such incidents. It is important at the outset to resist "brainwashing."

Remember: you do not need a cigarette, you only torture yourself, still regard it as a peculiar form of support or support. There is no need to be unhappy.

Tobacco does not improve the lunch or meeting friends; rather, it destroys them. Do not forget that smokers smoke while eating, not because they get pleasure from smoking. They smoke because they are forced. They - addicts. They can not enjoy any food, no life without cigarettes.

Give up the idea that the smoking habit is pleasant in itself. Many smokers think, "If only there were pure nicotine cigarettes." Such cigarettes there. Any smoker who has smoked herbal cigarettes, soon comes to the conclusion that it is - a waste of time.

Understand that the only reason that you smoke, is to obtain nicotine. Once you get rid of the craving for it, you will not care where to put a cigarette - in the mouth or in the ear.

It does not matter whether the suffering caused any real withdrawal symptoms or psychological mechanism Smoking, reconciled with the discomfort.
