Quit smoking with a little mind control

This is a neuro linguistic programming exercise that is very useful in helping people quit smoking, drinking or any other vise. Close your eyes and think of a smell that is totally repulsive to you, imagine it vividly, for example rotten eggs will do the job for me. Now imagine that your are breathing that awful smell and you are totally repulsed by it, feel it in your stomach. As you are doing this pinch your left hand with your right hand and keep imagining and smelling that repulsive smell until you feel very disgusted. Do it for as long as you can. Now while still doing this imagine yourself taking a drag from your favorite cigarette, then a bit more and more gradually increasing the amount of smoke. Now imagine that disgusting smell getting mixed with the smell and taste of your cigarette, keep repeating this process and continue practicing this exercise until you find anything but repulsion in the idea of smoking a cigarette.

Now I want a smoke and a drink and I do neither.

Thanks!!!

Oo

Or you can just quit with a little willpower.....

I would like to quit smoking but the drinking isnt going away any time soon. Got anything for that?

I didn't need anything to quit (for 9 months went cold turkey). No patches, gums etc etc. Just woke up one fine day and decided to stop. Mind over matter. Its really upto the individual. Nevertheless, thanks for the advice for someone who might not have a stronger will power.
