It really is more of a psychological thing, and habit. The addiction is not the biggest issue here with stopping smoking. It is the buddy you found in your smoking. I used it for stress and comfort when nervous, sad, mad, or socially. Many cords need to be cut. Other habits or pleasures need to fall to the wayside for awhile if you strongly associate these activities with smoking. Such as, coffee or alcohol. Meditation is a must, and perhaps Yoga. Weekdays seem to be easier. Still trying, not there yet. If you have more then one smoker in the home, it takes great team work, support, and must be on the same page. The biggest helper is to smoke only outside, and keep smokes far out of reach. Maybe even in a locked garage so you have to get up, go out, unlock garage to get one. I don’t by cartons at all. Pack by pack. Freshly cut Rosemary helps wonders. Smell it, rub it all over your fingers where you hold your cigarette, and sleep with it on your pillow. Once you have had clinical hypnotherapy for this, it does not go away. It continues to work. Stay tuned for more later.

Thursday, April 8th, 2010Hello everyone, just some tidbits on the smoking. On Monday march 29Th 2010, Myself, my husband, son, and son’s girlfriend went to a clinical hypnotherapists to stop smoking. The younger of the two went under trance, fell asleep. My husband partially and I did not go under at all, but received all the messages. One of the two younger, lasted 2 days before falling into old habits and the other 3 or 4 days. My husband and I a week. Now My son loses his willpower when hanging out with friends who all smoke. His girlfriend lost hers as she spent a lot of time at her moms rather then here, and they are smokers. With My husband and I, drinking was our trigger. With that said, for me at least I know to successfully stop, I need to not drink for awhile. Even the first glass of wine set me off. Slowly we all fell into the old habits and all feel kind of physically bad. Today is April 8Th and we are starting the cut down again. We had gone from a pack and a half to 5 cigarettes a day, now back up to a pack. So today we try again. Keep you posted.
