Do you think quitting smoking is going to be the hardest thing you've ever tried to do? If you think it's going to be difficult, you're just like ninety nine percent of the people in the world that want to stop smoking. That's what we're told, right? Everything you see on television or read in print makes you abundantly aware of how god awful difficult it's going to be to stop smoking. I've even heard that nicotine is harder to kick than heroine.The media is setting you up for failure before you even try, by telling you how difficult it will be. And why shouldn't they? Many companies make a ton of money selling products that will "help" you quit, so the illusion of difficulty needs to be perpetuated.I smoked for fifteen years and stopped, so if I did it, anyone can do it. The biggest factor in my success was the fact that I changed how I thought about cigarettes and smoking. I know this might sound crazy, but it's absolutely true.I stopped buying into all the hype about how difficult it was going to be, and started thinking about how easy it was going to be to stop. I thought like this for a couple of months when I was still smoking. I can remember that I would be smoking a cigarette, and look at it and think to myself, "this is going to be easy stop. No problem at all." I realize that this may sound stupid, but it's what I did.Like most things in life, once the dust settles and you get a chance to review the situation you begin to realize the truth. You've heard the old saying "Hindsight's 20-20", right? Well, once I stopped smoking once and for all, I began to realize the truth. And the truth is that smoking is nothing more than a mental game. Unless of course you believe it's more, in which case you're going to have a tough time.That, in a nutshell, is the way I finally quit smoking after fifteen years, and I know you can do the exact same thing. Then you can look back, as I often do, and say to yourself, "How in the world did I ever let myself think that those things controlled me!" Never forget what William Shakespeare said, " There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so."
