Want to give up smoking or, for that matter, anything else? The desire to smoke is basically one of thought, plus a nervous impulse to do something with the hands. Also involved is the infantile tendency to put something in the mouth. To quit, decide you really want to quit. Intense desire is always basic in achieving or quitting. Then, decide you are really going to quit.
Finally, picture yourself as being released from the habit. Hold that picture firmly and tenaciously until your subconscious mind accepts it. Do not try to taper off—stop entirely. Ask God to help you and believe that He will. The desire is primarily in your mind—think victory thoughts and images. To cure the nervous movement of the hands, practice control of muscle tension. Believe you can—and you can.
