Give up the Smoking Habits

Nowadays more self help techniques are used to reach whatever you desire. Be you cynic or sceptic, the truth is that you might not have heard about affirmations if they didn’t work. The 2nd interesting truth about affirmations is that few of the people swear by them and use them in their day to day life, whereas others have had such poor success with them that they actually dislike the word and any association to them at all.

Let’s look at what affirmations are and how we can use them to help us to quit smoking marijuana.

Affirmations are positive statements that are written or spoken out loud in present tense. An example of an affirmation is…

“I am happy, harmonious, loving, eager and excited”

It isn’t stated in the past or in the future. It is set in the NOW.

NOW is all that exists. The past is in the past and the future is in the future. Right NOW is all we have. For affirmations to be effective you must believe them. And the best way to believe them is to repeat them often. In fact, you must repeat them so often that they become second nature to you… They must become so familiar to you that you actually believe them. And when you really do believe them your subconscious mind will accept these as truths and start to yield the expectation to you.

Sounds simple, right?

Yes! They are simple but HIGHLY EFFECTIVE.

The most effective way to use affirmations to quit smoking pot is to make up some positive statements in language that you use regularly. Make the affirmations as real as possible to you and in a present tense. They must be so real to you that you must start to trick yourself into believing that they have already happened.

Here is an affirmation to help you get started at quitting weed:

“I have no bad habits which control me in a dangerous way. I am in control of myself and everything that I can do. I often do what is the best for me and for my future.”



Promises

At Promises, we recognize that depression and anxiety often go hand in hand with substance abuse, so each client is thoroughly assessed to ensure that both disorders are being treated. David Sack, M.D., addiction psychiatrist and CEO of Promises says, - Identifying co-occurring disorders such as substance dependency and depression or anxiety is critical for successful, long-term recovery, and the evidence-based approach in treating dual diagnosis is one of the strengths that sets us apart from other treatment centers.
