addictions - specifically smoking

[Guest guest]

> My set up is ET I'm addicted to tobacco.... and, after a round of

This craving for tobacco I do a round with It's easier and easier to

cut down my daily cigaretts to....

Good start. I'd just straight to " It's easier and easier to be a

non-smoker, " rather than saying you are cutting down though. If you

want to stop smoking, then you stop smoking. Cutting down is still

smoking. ;-)

Most of the cigarette habit is what you do with your hands. Moving

them from the table where your smokes are waiting to getting one out,

then finding matchers or lighter. Some people have really nice

lighters too. Then lighting it, and finally taking that first drag.

Ah, that's the one that's nice, isn't it? Why is it nice? Becaues you

just completed the process. In fact, it's not unusual to actually

light another smoke while one is burning in the ash tray. It's the

ritual of it that keeps people hooked.

The nicotine itself isn't doing you any favors and really it's more

the deep breathing that gives relaxation. Try it without the smokes

and you'll see, you get the same benefit. Just pretend to light a

cigarette and then take nice big deep drags on the imaginary smoke.

How often do you take a pull on the cig? Take a nice deep breath that

often.

Once you try that, you'll see, it's not the smokes at all but just

that you are getting some nice, relaxing deep breathing going on.

But back to EFT: Keep doing what you're doing, and you'll get the

results you seek.
