Faithfull Desperate To Quit Smoking Message Board and Comments

I am now 75 years old and I gave up smoking 40 years ago. At that point I smoked 60 cigarettes per day. How did I stop? I followed this sequence:- 1. I asked a simple question who am I? Am I my body? Am I my inner being? 2. I ultimately reached the view that my inner being is in control of my mind and my body. Therefore I can give my mind and my body clear instructions such as I will never, ever smoke again no matter how tempting any bribe may be to try to make me change this decision. 3. Thus I quit and to re-inforce the act of quitting I threw away an unopened pack of 20. So just tell your mind to carry out your instructions and not to think that it is in control. You do not need any other action. This one really works. You can make your body do anything you truly desire. Just think (mind controls body and inner being (soul/sprit or whatever you think appropriate to call it; that is what is truly in charge and is the real you). May God bless you. Max
