I know quitting smoking is not like abstaining from biting your nails or belching after meals. I know in actual fact that it is an addiction and this method would be hell on earth for a nicotine junkie. I also know that it is very likely that some may not agree with it, but this plan worked for me, has worked for some folks I recommended it to, and will work for you if you tend to be detailed, organized and methodical.
It may not work for everyone. Basically I counted the number of cigarettes I smoked every day and gradually decreased the amount every week. It helps in the beginning if you throw away the extra cigarettes. Eventually you WILL be able to store them for use later in the week. So here's the schedule:
Week 1 - Smoke 15 cigarettes a day for 7 days
Week 2 - Smoke 14 cigarettes a day for 7 days
Week 3 - Smoke 13 cigarettes a day for 7 days
Week 4 - Smoke 12 cigarettes a day for 7 days
Week 5 - Smoke 11 cigarettes a day for 7 days
Follow this pattern for 20 weeks then:
Week 20 - Smoke 1 cigarette a day for 7 days
Week 21 - Smoke 1 cigarette on any 6 days of the week
Week 22 - Smoke 1 cigarette on any 5 days of the week
Week 23 - Smoke 1 cigarette on any 4 days of the week
Week 24 - Smoke 1 cigarette on any 3 days of the week
Week 25 - Smoke 1 cigarette on any 2 days of the week
Week 26 - Smoke 1 cigarette on any 1 day of the week
Week 27 - Now see if you can make it through a week with 0 cigarettes
Week 28 - Don't Smoke any cigarettes ever again!
It is possible you think
"the reason it looks good initially is that the smoker isn't stopping; well you are stopping but that will be 7 months down the line. In the meantime you're getting to smoke so you're placated although when it comes to the smoke one ciggy on any one day of the week you'll be screaming and smoking more than one cigarette."
Well, considering the fact that the brain is a tameable object and the scientific proof that an action consistently practiced for 21 days becomes a habit, it is a simple issue that in 28 weeks which is 196 days- approximately nine times the length of time it takes to develop and acquire a habit- is enough time for you unlearn the bad habit and learn a new one; in this case, quitting smoking.
Do not think of it as "Oh my God, 7 months to quit smoking, 7 months of constant withdrawal symptoms." Looking at it that way, it doesn't look good. This method is best practiced one day at a time. Before you know it, it's seven months already, and you are down to zero (0) sticks of "smokes" per day.
Most important is the fact that your mind is made up to quit. A very sharp sword in the hand of a novice is as useless as a blunt knife. But in the hands of a skilled swordsman, it is the deadliest of weapons. So, without a firm and unshakeable determination on your part, this method is basically useless.
