Stop smoking

After three days -at the most- of not smoking, the physical addiction to nicotine is completely nil. However, after quitting many people are troubled much longer than that. This is the result of the psychological addiction. A smoking addiction is known to be at least 90% psychological.

Nicotine acts as a lever to the psychological addiction. Some 15 minutes after smoking a cigarette, the withdrawal symptoms appear until being alleviated by the next cigarette. Therefore each cigarette carries the message that it is needed for general well being. For the subconscious, this is a powerful suggestion, repeated many times per day, every day.

A psychological addiction (to smoking or any other vice) is not a conscious decision, but a matter of the subconscious. It is an example of the power of the subconscious, the power that can be attained through autosuggestion. One does not decide to be addicted today. ANY method that does not take this into account is as a matter of fact is bound to fail in the end The failure is that smoking behavior in a population will not really diminish in time, except through monetary or other repression, perhaps, of which the effect will sooner or later diminish as we are witnessing right now.

Because the subconscious is very much at the root of the problem, a proper centralization of this concept will be basic to any real and lasting solution. With autosuggestion, one can turn the subconscious from an enemy into a friend on the way towards quitting smoking.

In the Aurelis-philosophy, a clear distinction is made between a non-smoker and an ex-smoker. A non-smoker is changed as a person in that he has engendered a subconscious pattern of non-addiction where previously the addiction reigned. An ex-smoker is in fact a smoker who momentarily (a day, a month, a year or longer) does not smoke. The addiction has not left the body and mind. For an ex-smoker, it takes one moment of weakness to restart smoking.
