And I do believe it is self-hypnosis and this visualizing method can be used for a lot more good purposes.. like you want to lose weight so you close your eyes and visualize yourself as a healthy and thin person several times a day or a lot of healthy food or it's opposite, junk food with a huge red X on them lol, I have a friend, a doctor who has been using this method for more than a decade now and with surprisingly good results.
Keep up the good work and keep us updated 
Time to get some rest here...  |
I have a friend that weighs about 300 lbs and has several health issues to contend with in addition to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. This guy also has sciatic nerve problems in both legs, asthma, a heart condition plus he's had his gall bladder removed and has suffered through liver and kidney problems. He was very skeptical about my quitting smoking simply because he didn't see me prepare for it as I have explained to you all over here in this thread.
Yet, everyday he wakes up around 12-1PM, takes an hour to get ready to go to his office to work and complains about his 'health problems.' He says he's exhausted every possible avenue to improve his health and does not think that quitting smoking would do anything for him whatsoever. I really feel bad for the guy because he is in denial about the fact that smoking probably accounts for 50% of his health issues, if not more. He has been smoking since he was 15 (he's 41 this august) and cannot go two hours without lighting up. Before I quit we used to hang out all the time. NOW, since I've quit I don't want to be around him and his smoking especially at his place. I don't need the temptation nor do I need the second hand smoke and to be honest I should not have to put myself through that. Its for that same reason I won't ride with him in his car. And that goes for any and all other people I know. If I don't take this stand I will only fail.
Anyhow, enough said for one late night. I'll tell y'all how things work out for me tomorrow.
