How best to quit!

Greetings,

“How best to quit?” . . .  this was the question that I faced and struggled with the answer, I looked at what services and products were available t the time (early 1990s) . .  so there were Patches and Gum and Lozenges and for the natural healer there was acupuncture and hypnotherapy and I tried all of these products and services but the real breakthrough for me was the understanding of my “decision” and how powerful that was in the real state of wanting to make this important change in my life . . . and I grew to understand the power that can come from a decision that is strengthened by commitment . . but how to keep that buzz going? the buzz of deciding a course of action and becoming excited about the possibilities . . it had to be more than willpower as willpower is super strong at the beginning but gradually fades . .  so I worked on a way of keeping that decision as powerful all the time, every morning and every night and all the moments in between had to power this decision so there was no alternative . . wow it was getting deep in thought but the answer popped into my head and so the Decision Cycle was created . . . the Decision Cycle keeps that Decision to quit the smokes in the present moment, powers the Decision with Commitment so I can go through my normal day and all the actions that I do during the day . . combining that with the Te Whare Tapa Wha model of physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual energies and power . .  see more of that on next page . .
