Quit Smoking Forever Guide

Have you ever seen the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”?

There is a part of the film near the end where Indy must take a “leap of faith” - literally, across a canyon.

It seems to him like there is nowhere for him to go. He cannot return back to where he came from but there is simply no way forward. In fact, if he tries to go forward then surely he will fail and fall into the canyon to his death?

But he knows better. He knows that he can go forward because the evidence tells him that he must. Despite his immediate senses telling him that he will surely fall to his death, he knows better so he closes his eyes and takes a step forward into the unknown.

Immediately, the path is revealed before him and he was right to believe in himself. The path was always there, he knew there must be a path but he just couldn’t see it. Knowing that there was always a path, he took that leap of faith and was rewarded for his courage.

By now, you should be ready to stop smoking for good and be looking forward to a life of freedom that you had almost forgotten was there for the taking.

But in case you still have a tiny seed of doubt about whether you can stop smoking forever and if you ever smoke again (that’s the addiction working on your brain there!), it’s worth considering this “leap of faith” that you are about to take.

Remember that I, personally, have stopped smoking successfully using this method. Remember that many other people have successfully stopped smoking using this method. I have never had a desire to have a cigarette ever again, I have never pined for a cigarette and I have never needed to use willpower. I see my addiction for what it is.

Trust in me that, even though you are not yet on the other side, you soon will be. Trust in me and not any addiction talking inside your head and affecting your powers of logic. Trust in me completely because I have been exactly where you are now and come through on the other side in once piece. Trust in me that I know that you can do this.

Before I stopped smoking, I learned to understand my addiction in the same way that you have also been doing. I was looking forward to a life of freedom. But I still had a tiny seed of doubt. I could not logically argue it, I knew that it was just the addiction talking but I still could not shut out what I felt - I guess that you cannot deny your feelings, no matter how much logic you use.

I decided to make a leap of faith and trust in what others had told me. I trusted them because they understood me and they convinced me that they knew and understood what it was like to be a smoker. Even though everyone told me that you can only quit using willpower and patches, I took the leap of faith and trusted that I was in good hands.

You can do this now too. Imagine you are standing above the canyon like Indiana Jones. Across the gap is your future - a new you, without cigarettes. Below you is what looks like certain failure. Behind you is your present existence and future decades of smoking that you never want to return to. What you see below you is your addiction trying to keep you as a smoker, trying to fool you using fear and confusion.

But you know better than that. You won’t be rattled by fear when you know there is a better way. You will close your eyes and take that leap forward because you trust and you know that there is a better way.
