might be prego and the cigs got to go...

Hello I am 23 and have been smoking since I was 14 on and off but over the years it has gone from a once and a while thing to upwards of 2 packs a day. Now that me and my husband have gotten into a comfortable situation we were thinking of getting pregnant and well lets just say we didn't have to put much effort in at all before we got results. Bad news is that we had planned on cutting the cigarettes out before we conceived and now I find myself needing to drop the habit very very soon. Any pointers are appreciated.

It is essential to have a reason to quit smoking that is stronger than the reason to continue. Good thing is you found your reason!

If your desire to stop smoking, but don't know how to change, then the key lies in understanding and using the power of the subconscious mind to change the habit. Because the subconscious mind contains the habit of smoking, it is essential to access this part of the mind. This can be done through relaxation.

These are the main steps:

Finding a compelling reason to stop smoking.
Understanding the subconscious beliefs which support continued smoking.
Learning the most effective way to communicate with the subconscious mind, especially in the wording of your goals.
Reprogramming these subconscious beliefs to support a new habit of non-smoking.
Learning and developing alternative methods for relaxation and releasing stress.
