Chapter 5: Getting Motivated

Synopsis

Over the years I’ve witnessed many smokers trying to quit, entirely against their will, who still manage to succeed in stopping smoking. I occasionally see young people who are being coerced by their parents to quit. Occasionally it’s grownups who are forced by physicians, while other times it’s grownups who have been tricked into going to seminars by loved ones and friends who literally take them to the program under some sort of false pretense, like they’re just going to dinner. Although I won't state this tactic works in the bulk of cases, it works far more frequently than most individuals would believe.

The Power

To state that these individuals had no prior motive or desire to stop smoking would likely not be true. I surmise most smokers have a little level of motivation to stop, but motivation without an understanding of nicotine addiction and its treatment isn't adequate to succeed. That's why most seminars attempt to cram in information as fast as possible.

The crucial things to understand are why individuals smoke, why they ought to stop, how to stop, and how to remain free. All 4 of these areas are essential points of understanding for an individual pondering quitting. Without a firm grasp of each element, the smoker will be disabled in his or her effort to stop.

Understanding why he or she smokes helps the smoker discover that all the magic qualities affiliated with smoking were based on fallacies and feelings. While most smokers believe they smoke because they wish to, the true reason they smoke is because they have to. They're addicted to nicotine and their bodies are requiring that they smoke. They're drug addicts, plain and simple, and realizing this premise is the essential opening move.

As with any other addiction or 12-step curriculum, the assumption of being powerless over the drug is the beginning step in recovery. You must realize that while you thought smoking was keeping you calm, it was really increasing your stress levels, or more precisely, your responses to tension. While you believe smoking makes you energetic, in point of fact, it's robbing you of endurance and energy. While smokers frequently feel that smoking allows you to have fun and lead more socially active life-styles, it's really impairing and restricting your power to enlist in many activities and to formulate new relationships.

As contrary to enhancing your power to be vivacious and active members of society, it's in fact inducing you to resort to a lot of asocial behaviors. It led you to smoke in position of human contact, frequently leaving assemblies or declining to attend functions where smoking is no longer permitted. Why an individual ought to quit smoking is likely the least surprising sort of info, as many smokers already understand that smoking is bad for them.

The issue is that most individuals don't realize how bad it is. Many are overpowered when they amply recognize the true magnitude of the perils of smoking. The realization that stopping smoking is in point of fact a battle for survival is often of predominant importance in long-run success. This info is often vital for dealing with the occasional thoughts that are still sparked off by conditions and situations faced throughout the ex-smoker's life.

How to stop - now this is a shock to most: individuals initially quit because they begin to realize smoking is killing them. They then find out that the huge majority of these individuals quit cold turkey. How to remain off, "don't let a err put you back to smoking." That makes as much feel as stating to a recovering alcoholic "don't let a drink put you back to drinking," or a heroin junky being given the message "don't let a little shot put you back to using." The message has to be stronger than that. Not, "don't let a err put you back to using," the message ought to be - do not err!

There has no such thing as an err, or a chance event, or a slip, or a puff, or merely one - they're all terms that are really defining a backsliding! This point, more than any other is what is going to make quitting last. Blanking out this concept, or worse, never acknowledging it all but assures failure.

I've seen the mightiness of education work 1000s of times in helping decently prepare smokers to stop. Again, that issue is more than merely instructing the physical perils of smoking. It means the smoker develops a full grasp of the physical, mental, social, economical, and aesthetic significances of smoking. I've likewise witnessed personal understanding germinate into a mighty tool utilized by 1000s of ex-smokers in keeping up their resolve to stay away from smokes too. They'll carry on maintaining their resolve so long as they go on to appreciate why they quit in the first place, and keeping those reasons in the forefront of their awareness.

May we motivate a smoker to wish to quit? I think many smokers who have smoked cigarettes for any appreciable time period are already motivated. While perhaps not all smokers as a whole, it's likely that any smoker who turns up at a quit smoking clinic on his or her own accord, or who's typed the words "quit smoking" into a Net search engine, has some initial concern and wants more info on how to quit.

So essentially, the answer to whether or not an individual may be motivated to want to quit is "yes." As a matter of fact most smokers already have some motive in place. Understand that to quit smoking and remain off cigarettes and save your life... never pick up another smoke.

Wrapping Up

Are you a nicotine addict? The unmatched attribute that displays the addictive nature of nicotine isn't how difficult or how simple it is to stop, nor is it how difficult or simple it is for a person to stay off smoking. The one real property that presents the power of the addiction is that regardless how long an individual is off, one puff and that resolve to stop can go out the window.

Don't ever try to evidence to yourself that you weren't addicted. You were addicted to nicotine all of the years you used it and you're addicted to it now too. But as an exsmoker the addiction becomes symptomless. To keep it that way and to forever stay in command remember to never pick up another smoke!
