Stop Smoking The Easy Way When This Friendship Is Acknowledged

Posted by Suzanne – January 31, 2011

Your Friend, The Cigarette

There is a friend that sits nicely in your pocket or bag, home or office, quietly waiting for when you need it. This friend is very loyal. It will always be there whenever you need it. This friend is very caring, being there for you in your darkest moments. It has consoled you through many a crisis; even in the middle of the night when no-one else was there for you. And it is not just there for those negative times. It is also there at those positive times. It has shared your good times with you too. It was there at many a happy occasion. It celebrated with you. It rewarded you and gave you the luxury of a treat. It helps you enjoy life in every way.

Your friend, your loyal friend, is always there for you. It never answers back. It never tells you what to do; never bosses you around. It never judges you. It never criticizes you. It is just there for you, just as you are.

Your friend may be getting somewhat expensive to support. But this is a small price to pay for someone so loyal, caring, and totally there for you. However, one day this cost may become too much. Or maybe you start paying with your health. Then it will be the time to part.

But parting with such a good friend is such sweet sorrow. You may even find yourself grieving for it or running back into its ever-welcoming arms. What do you do?

Modern approaches recognize that your friendship helped you for a long time. You were not stupid or crazy to have this friend. Rather, you smoked because your friend the cigarette helped you with all aspects of your life. However, now that you need to stop smoking, you can release the reasons tying you into this friendship. And then you can say Thank You to your friend for being there for you, and wish it well as you say goodbye with ease. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a great way of helping you quit. It works by stimulating certain acupressure points whilst using some clever wording to release every block in your path, one by one, till they are all gone. Try it; you can be pleasantly surprised.

Stop Smoking And Remain Quit By Releasing Temptation Or Cravings

Posted by Suzanne – December 28, 2010

Are you planning to stop smoking? Or perhaps you have quit already but find temptation in your way? Here is a list of temptations that most quitters find in their way. And if you have not yet quit, it is best to target and release those temptations before they occur, even before you quit.

Stop Smoking EFT and Hypnosis Practitioner

These temptations are the addict way of thinking, but by changing this thinking, you can change from being an addict who has quit or who wants to quit to a non-addict who is free and strong. After each addict way of thinking is a suggested EFT tapping to help you become that free non-addict, happy and strong. If you do not know EFT, that is OK. All the EFT statements given here can be said as strengthening affirmations too.

Addict thinking: “One puff won’t hurt.”
Freedom thinking: “One puff will hurt. There are super-humans who can smoke only one puff and not smoke again for a month, but I am not one of them. And even though I am not, I accept myself anyway. There is a reason why I am trying to convince myself to have permission to have this puff. I am open to the suggestion that like most humans, I have emotions that are driving my needs and behaviors. I accept myself despite these emotions. Just for now, I choose to look at these emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness, boredom, or stress. I allow myself these emotions. I own them and choose to let them go. I am open to the suggestion that by healing these emotions, I can be free from the One Puff temptation, and I can find the calm peacefulness that I truly desire. I allow myself to move forward.¨

Addict thinking: “I only want one.”
Freedom thinking: “I have never only wanted one, one at a time, every time I have wanted one. I am open to the suggestion that I want what the cigarette gives me – a feeling of calm, concentration, confidence, excitement, or relaxation. I accept myself despite this need. I choose to recognize my emotional needs and own them. I accept that I have these emotional needs, and I accept myself despite these needs. Even though I have these emotions that I got used to drugging away with one cigarette at a time, I choose to be calm and centred,. I choose to enjoy each moment as it comes, one moment at a time, and that´s OK.”

Addict thinking: “I miss smoking right now.”
Freedom thinking: “Of course I miss smoking. It has been my loyal friend for many years. It was there for me, always there, never judging, never letting me down, my good friend. I accept myself and my need for this loyal friend. I am open to the suggestion that I need acceptance, I need a crutch, I need comfort. I choose to give myself love, not cigarettes. Just for now, just for today, I choose to give myself love.”

You may think that what you want is a cigarette, but that is the addict way of thinking. That way of thinking does not help you to be free from temptation and cravings. By owning up to the underlying emotions, you have a chance to release them. My favorite method of emotional release is Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short. EFT can remove all the underlying emotions behind that addict thinking voice, leaving you free to be a non-smoker with ease, free from cravings. Freedom thinking can lead to freedom release, and then those smoking temptations can become a thing of the past.

You may find that you cannot quit until you get rid of those two limiting beliefs. However, if you will for a moment consider changing your belief system, quitting can be effortless and easy.

Now you have some background challenges to question and gain insights from. When you are ready to quit, you can move on to how, choose a method that resonates with you and quit with ease. My favorite method that I recommend is Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short. EFT can remove all the reasons why you smoke, leaving you free to stop smoking when you want to.
