I haven't smoked for 4 months now. On my umpteenth attempt I went to see a hypnotherapist. Once we had analysed to crazy "reasons" why I was still smoking when I really wanted to be a non smoker it made it a bit easier. The hypnosis beefed up my wavery willpower to help me to NOT scrounge, try or buy any ciggies off others.
I'm still a nicotine addict. I accept that. I just use an inhalator. It gives me a bit of nicotine, no buzz, and occupies my mouth. I smoked for 45 years and this is, so far, working for me.
Keep telling yourself
"I am a non-smoker"
it sounds great.
Keep going, it's worth it.
I hate it when others blow clouds of smoke in my direction when I'm trying to sing. It stinks and kills my breath control.
DON'T GIVE UP GIVING UP
"just one" is a trap, don't be conned by it.
