Quitting Weed Tips
1. Repetition – This may sound stupid but we all learn by repetition and we can all change how we think by repetition. There’s a exclaiming a lie told regularly enough will become a truth and even if you should happen to feel that being free of pot could be a lie if you repeat it frequently enough you can change how you think.
Find a quite place with no interruptions every day and find a few phrases that are how you would like to think like “I am in total control of my smoking, I do not need to smoke today nor ever!”, make sure you are totally relaxed and say this to yourself again and again again for a few minutes. Not only is this relaxing but it’s a kind of meditation and self hypnosis that can imprint those phrases into your subconscious.
2. Elastic Band treatment – Again this will seem odd but this has been shown to be effective for many smokers looking to give up marijuana and cigarettes. Wear an elastic band around your wrist all of the time and when you begin to think thoughts about smoking and the cravings start pull on that elastic band and snap it back with enough force to cause some pain. No I am really not a sadist! What this does is it creates a pavlovian response within your mind that links thoughts of smoking pot with agony and so you will begin to avoid thinking those thoughts and they are going to be moved to the ‘stuff to be evaded ‘ folder in your cerebral cortex.
