Tell yourself that you aren’t afraid this time. You know you’ve got it licked. You know you’ve got it licked because this time you understand what is involved in the habit, and what it requires to break a habit.
Tell yourself forcefully that you will not become nervous, tense or irritable because there’s just no need for it. You know that your mind controls your nerves, and you are perfectly capable of controlling your own mind.
CHAPTER NINE
“The impossible we can do today. The miraculous takes a little longer.” Signs carrying that message became popular during World War II, and the message is equally appropriate for your private war with the cigarette habit.
With our almost-absurdly simple but highly effective method of self-suggestion, you will be able to change your attitude toward smoking. You will be able to do the impossible; you will be able to quit. The “visual image” technique does part of the job; the new habit you learn in this chapter does the rest. You strengthen both by “talking back.”
