Stop Smoking And Also Stop Any Cravings

Posted by Suzanne – December 30, 2010

If you are from a country where people do not smoke on a table in the pub or restaurant outside, it may come as a surprise to go on holiday somewhere like South Africa or Mexico and see people relaxed outside on al-fresco restaurant tables smoking. Or maybe you are in a country where it is acceptable to smoke at tables outside, and it is just a normal part of life where you are. This may be a smoking trigger to you or may be a nuisance, depending on whether you are a smoker or not.

For many ex-smokers and non-smokers, the smell of cigarettes as they walk past can be totally disgusting. And many a non-smoker may wonder if they themselves used to inconvenience others in the same way, with the realization that they must have smelled the same. Of course it is not a matter of smell per se but the stuff that you are breathing in against your wishes that makes it so unpleasant. I live in Cape Town and personally hold my breath when I see that cigarette, and I try to walk as far away from the outdoor tables as possible. But then, I have smokers lung, and I have ended up in hospital once when I had to endure a party where everyone smoked non-stop outside.

For some ex-smokers, the whiff of the cigarettes takes them right back into cravings-land. Some people even deliberately breathe it in as the nearest they would allow themselves to get to smoking without actually starting up the habit of lighting up themselves again. Others may notice how relaxed the smokers at the tables look, sitting in the sun with friends, looking happy, and smoking together. That can make the thought of smoking very attractive and relaxing, bringing up those cravings of just one, just here, just this once. Of course, it never is just this once.

However, if you have stopped smoking and still get the occasional craving like that, it is best to release it rather than leave it as a potential time-bomb waiting to happen. It would be such a shame if your years of being a happy ex-smoker came to an abrupt end because of one moment of weakness that you were simply not expecting. There are many techniques you can use, such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), hypnosis, or NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), to name a few. It would be nice to pass those tables and feel neutral, wouldn´t it?

Stop Smoking By Getting Rid Of These Urges – Guaranteed

Posted by Suzanne – December 28, 2010

Stopping smoking can be done in one session or it can be a longer process, depending on your individual reasons why you smoke. I am not talking here about the reasons your conscious mind comes up with; these are just excuses. Rather, it is the unconscious reasons that make all the difference. And whether it takes one hour or three months, the result is the same. It is the end result of freedom from smoking that you want and that it is wise to remain focused on.

Typically, a smoker reacts to everything by lighting up a cigarette, even if not aware of doing so on a conscious level. Happiness or sorrow can both lead smokers to smoke. Anger or irritability lead to finding comfort in smoking. And so a smoker becomes closely associated with smoking and everything revolves around smoking. Once determined to quit, it is best to learn and understand the reasons behind the urge to smoke and respond by releasing them. Four powerful reasons behind the urge to smoke are hunger, anger or irritability, loneliness or boredom, and tiredness or lack of concentration.

Hunger is a natural language that your body uses to communicate with you a need for nutrition and should not be satiated with cigarettes. One must take proper meals to avoid hunger rather than skip meals or eat less than the body requires. But that is physical hunger. There is another kind of hunger, which is an emotional hunger, and this is the main reason why some ex-smokers put on weight after quitting; to fill the emotional void that was previously satiated with cigarettes.

Anger or irritability is another important cause for urge to smoke. In other words, you have been smoking your anger away instead of finding a way to release it, and now you have the opportunity to start letting it go. Once the main sources for anger or irritability are released, you will find that you feel much better as an ex-smoker.

Loneliness or boredom is another strong driver for the urge to smoke. That cigarette can be a supportive , loyal, non-judgemental, and interesting friend.

And finally, tiredness or lack of concentration is another driver behind the urge to smoke. Maybe you have just finished one task at work and need to get in the frame of mind for the next. Or perhaps you have been driving for a while and need to be alert.

These are just a selection of four reasons amongst many why people smoke. Each reason is powerful enough to convince your conscious mind that you need a cigarette. But your unconscious, or inner mind, is actually after something else. By listening to your unconscious mind and releasing what is behind the urge to smoke, the urge can simply go, and you can be free to become a satisfied, calm, comfortable, and successful non-smoker.
