I should have known. I'm a veteran quitter. As Mark Twain once famously observed, "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times." But each and every time I always seem to forget what a horrible experience it is. Get details of these below.

SELF CONFESSION METHOD TO QUIT SMOKING
Retrain your mind by continually telling yourself that you are not a smoker.These phrases should be repeated, even as you are lighting up a cigarette.
"Cigarette smoking is disgusting."
"The taste of cigarettes is nauseating."
"I am a non-smoker."
"Cigarette smoke makes people's hair and clothes smell gross."
"I hate seeing people smoke."
"The smoking stains left on smokers' teeth are unsightly."
"Smoking can make me mad and turn me to a lunatic."
This technique might seem weird, but used with consistency, you will find that your want and
desire to smoke will begin to vanish. It may seem bold, but as you are using this method, tell
other people that you do not smoke and that you are a non-smoker. Be careful to make all
"anti-smoking" confessions in the positive rather than negative. Don'tever say "I do not smoke."
Say, "I am a non-smoker." Do not say, "I do not like the smell of cigarette smoke." Say,
"Cigarette smoke repulses me."
Start by helping yourself by writing a list of at least 20 reasons why you want to become a
non-smoker. Post them on your fridge, at your desk,on your car dashboard, on your bathroom
mirror, and anywhere so that you will be forced to look at them regularly. Then start counting
days until you are finally smoke free! To read more of this, click here to get a copy of Stop Smoking For Good Audio Book.

It's Time to Quit: Brain Damage a Key to Stop Smoking? by Heather Long
I've heard of lots of strange ways to quit smoking, but voluntarily damaging your brain? I don't care what you say about smoking and I don't care what you say about the health risks - the idea of voluntarily submitting yourself for brain damage to stop smoking? Well, I know some people who went through a shots treatment to stop smoking and after three miserable days, they didn't stop - so who knows.
Science Journal
In the Science Journal this week, there was a report from a Dr. Antoine Bechara, a neuroscientist, who has discovered what he believes to be the area of the brain that governs nicotine addiction. The area, identified as the insula is located deep within the brain and only takes up about 2 and a half centimeters of space.
So how did these scientists discover that this area of the brain has anything to do with the smoking habit? Apparently, a heavy smoker (someone who smoked 40 cigarettes a day) quit smoking immediately after he experienced a stroke that affected that area of his brain. He described the experience as being one where his body forgot it liked to smoke.
The study explored 69 brain damaged smokers and found that of the 19 who had received damage to the insula, that 13 of them stopped smoking with 24 hours of the injury and they reported no urge to smoke again. Of the remaining smokers in this category, they reported quitting became far less difficult and rated it a 3 on scale of 1 to 7.
So What Does This Mean?
Potentially, this could be another way for smokers to quit, but the insula controls a number of every day functions and damaging it willfully could create more consequences than just stopping smoking. I'm still on track towards my quit date - just four days from now, but I have to say, even with this information - the idea of volunteering for brain damage to quit smoking - I'd rather do it some other way.
Would you volunteer for such a procedure? Even knowing it could cause other problems in order to quit smoking?

I had a similar view but finally able to quite after 28 yrs. The inspiration came when I was introduced to an audio book titled - Stop Smoking Audiobook The book is full of miracles. I downloaded it from http://51w.us/stopsmoking . I studied everything there and by God's grace, I stopped smoking.But today, i am happy to give this testimony. It will assist all other addicted smokers to stop smoking.
