Amazing Mind Power Helps Addicts Give Up Smoking Pot!

                

 

As an ex-pot-smoker, it took me several months to finally get my act together and unearth the powerful techniques necessary to quit successfully. Most believe that willpower alone is all you need to stop smoking cigarettes or to rid your addiction.

Although we all assume we have some degree of willpower, what exactly is it? Is it an unseen force that we can all call upon on demand? Why are some people seemingly more able to summon it than others?

I believe that willpower isn’t an unseen force or mystical power, in fact I believe that willpower is the same as creating a decision. You make countless decisions on a daily basis. Some decisions that you make are larger or more meaningful than others. For example, it doesn’t really matter that much if you put your hair in a bun today or whether you leave it loose.

However, what about the decision to go to work today or not? Now this has a larger impact on your entire day… or even your entire life. You never know – it might be that you get caught taking a day off work and the consequence is that you get fired! That one decision to have a day off then rippled through your life, causing various different effects.

The ripple effect also applies when you decide to quit smoking weed. By not smoking today, you will experience a range of different effects and outcomes in the short and long terms. You might have an argument with someone you love because you are moody from marijuana withdrawal. But over the long term, you will breathe easier because your lungs are healthier.

As you continue on the smoke-free path, the ripples show themselves as more positive effects in your life. It is hard to envision these good times when a negative ripple such as a withdrawal headache presents itself. These times call for a healthy dose of reality as you recall that the negative effects of pot smoking are far worse than those you are experiencing now… and these will not last forever! Your life will be impacted in many good ways as well.

The first step I took to quit my pot addiction was to make the decision! This is critically important. Most people make a half-hearted decision to quit smoking weed and then relapse soon after. It is this half-heartedness that really does the devastating damage, because there is resistance to doing it.

It’s like saying …

I want to quit smoking pot, but I like the feelings it gives me.
I want a new job, but I don’t think I’ll get a new one.
I want more money, but I don’t deserve it because I don’t do anything!

If you attack your attempt at quitting smoking weed with resistance, you will fail and relapse. You’ll just as quickly be able to justify why you can smoke and why you should, because that firm decision was not behind you. Willpower comes from within; build your own willpower to a level strong enough to attack your addiction head-on.

Make the decision. Stop looking for excuses and reasons as to why you cannot quit. YOU CAN. Make a list of all the reasons why you can give up, why you should give up and why you want to give up. The time is never right, there will always be stress in your life. The time to quit smoking weed is now, so take the first step by making the decision to stop!
