How To Recover From Tobacco Addiction – The Short Version
A. Know that you are fighting for your life and that you are suffering from a profound and deadly addiction. More powerful to the brain than mainlined heroin.
B. Prepare yourself well. Develop a comprehensive recovery plan.
C. Remember, it is your mind that is addicted so it’s not much use to you. Don’t decide anything. Commit to this process and dedicate your efforts to your own recovery. Commitment is the word.
D. Build a secure support network, to stay in place for 180 days. Not family.
E. Develop a Daily Practice. A Daily Action Plan. Map the day. Everyday. Yogi Amrit Desai says a daily practice with meditation will heal everything in 90 days.
F. Join a 12 Step Group dedicated to tobacco recovery such as Nicotine Anonymous if that works for you. If one does not exist in your area then start one.
G. Pick a transition day and stick to it.
H. Begin even if you become afraid. You will become afraid. Don’t let that stop you.
I. Use a Nicotine Withdrawal Strategy. 90 days with no withdrawal.
Love is the by far the best way to move forward with tobacco addiction. Be Free.
