The harm of smoking is an old song, from which smokers roll their eyes, irritably and hopelessly wave their hands.It makes no sense to tell the smoker, about the harmfulness of his habit and the dangers of health - he already knows everything, perhaps even better than you, but does not want to throw it.
Why?The fear of the torment of the weaning, from which he will wake up in the middle of the night in cold sweat, terrible hallucinations, eternal discomfort, neurosis, and at the end the white ward and good doctors.Are you serious ???
Of course there will be nothing like that!When a person quit smoking, he can really think that he is tormented, that he has a semblance of breaking.So that this does not happen to be thrown correctly.It’s not enough just to take and not smoke, relying on your willpower.It is important to understand the psychological side of abandonment of cigarettes.
Allen Carr "Easy to quit smoking"
On this topic there is a wonderful book by Allen Carra - “A Mistress to Suspending Smoking”, where all myths associated with smoking are signed in detail and all of them are destroyed.This book helped many smokers without problems quit smoking.There is also a film and an audiobook “An easy way to quit smoking”;And he explains everything no worse than the book.
The main idea is this - cigarettes do not give anything!Smoking is more meaningless even than drug addiction.The addict at least gets high, it is clear why he does it.But why does the smoker do this?
Of course, everyone has their own arguments, from the row: “I like the taste, smell, it is cool, relaxes, concentrates” and so on.In general, a cure for everything, a kind of lifting stick.It is these psychological arguments that are destroyed in the root in the above book.
When you say something like a smoker: “Would you like to quit smoking?”, In response, you can often hear: “Why should I abandon?”It's like asking him: "Listen, but would you like to just get 100 rubles a day?"- To hear the answer from the last example will be at least strange.
Why is smoking a habit?Because the smoker was used to smiling a cigarette after eating, after work, while working, when it is boring, while waiting, in the company, before bedtime, after sleep, some even wake up at night to smoke (but this is a special case).
When you quit smoking, it is at these moments that you will reflexively think about a cigarette - this is a habit, over time it will pass, such as the habit of gnawing nails.To get rid of the habit of gnawing your nails, you just need to not bite them for a couple of weeks.
Well, we quit smoking?
As already mentioned - with the right mood, everything is quite simple.Read the book or watch the movie “easy way to quit smoking”, understand the main point that the author wants to convey.
Choose a date for yourself, maybe even some symbolic and forget about cigarettes.Do not even allow thoughts about leaving this venture.The subconscious mind from time to time will whisper: “Today is the wrong day, let's still smoke, but in a week we certainly throw it.”Drown these thoughts, get distracted by something.
Find yourself a lesson that can replace you with a habit of smoking.For example, a very good option for home is to drink tea.Buy yourself a pack of expensive delicious tea, and when it becomes bored, drink tea.Drink a glass of water, make 10 squats.The main thing is do not smoke!
Do not miss, do not focus on a barely noticeable itch somewhere in your chest, enjoy the clear mind and clean air in the lungs, without cigarettes.After about a month, itching will pass and the case is done.
You are a non -smokers!
