In every case where there has been a failure (and again I emphasize that they have been few), it was caused, I feel, by a hurry to stop smoking before the preconditioning process with self-hypnosis had been completed. Actually, one can hardly argue with this since the stronger preconditioning will take precedence in any circumstance.
Just remember, as you begin, that the only known way to rid oneself of an unwanted habit is to substitute a new habit in the place of the old one. The nail-biter who fails once, and finds himself nibbling at his nails, doesn’t have to give up his resolve to quit. You don’t stop driving if you happened to have an accident. And the golfer with a slice in his drive needn’t feel his game is ruined forever. Practice will improve any habit or skill.
I’d like you to succeed on the first time you try, and establish once and for all that you can whip the cigarette habit. Unfortunately, I cannot tell how diligently you may practice, or how strongly you desire to quit smoking. I don’t know how susceptible to self-suggestion you are. I don’t even know your age, or whether you are male or female (not that it makes much difference ).
