Hi Brenda and Starr ….Welcome to CogQuit

A warm welcome to Brenda and Starr,
Many Congratulations on the expected new addition to then family :-) Listen to Steve girls, he will guide you through the process.
I can tell you, I did not think I could do it, but by doing it
Steve’s Cognitive Quit way it has been much easier for me and I
smoked for 30+ years and tried quitting countless times.
Start at the beginning and read about Warren, then do the Timer
Exercises which are designed to recognise that our body needs/wants
something and in the past we have lit up a cigarette.
From now on you must check what your body REALLY needs…it could be
stretching, proper breathing, maybe food, a drink of water, a walk
etc.
In the past I only recognised that Warren was telling me to light a
cigarette but nowdays I understand my body needs a shift of position
or a few stretches and few big breaths…….or hey is that the

time , lets eat.
My Warren has now been retrained to react in a non-smoking way.
I am going into my 7th week of quitting and I have followed Steve’s
advice and found it rock solid !
If you do the work you will become a non-smoker in a few short weeks
and will never be tempted to ever light up again.
Cognitive Quitting …understanding why we smoke and then changing my
behaviour to adopt a logical smoke free option to my body cues has
helped me enormously.
Follow Steve’s instructions and DO THE WORK !!! you will be shocked
at how easy it will be to stop smoking.
Peace Love and A Comfortable Quit to you both.
Chrys
