The Best Way to Quit Smoking: Fasting to Quit

Most quit smoking books, maybe all of them wont tell you what Im about to tell
you next. Fasting is one of the best methods to quit smoking, if not the best. It
will give you what you need to quit smoking. A lot of us feel we cant quit smoking
but we can. We fast so God will give us what we need to finally quit for good.

You should fast for three days to quit smoking. Fast on brown rice and water
or carrot juice three days in a row. If you cant fast for three straight days fast
one day a week for three weeks or as close together as possible. This method can
be used cold turkey or with the method discussed in the last chapter of my book;
although I recommend cold turkey with this method. This method will work for you,
all you have to do is try.

There are other ways to quit smoking. For instance you could pray or meditate
until the desire passes. The desire to smoke will pass.

Another tip I share to readers in my book Quit Smoking the Easy Way: A New and
Revolutionary Way to Quit Smoking is to chew cinnamon gum. There is something about
cinnamon that fights cravings for nicotine. Weve all heard about the healing power
of Aroma therapy. Well now you know cinnamon can be used to fight cravings!

I think one of the most important ways to prepare yourself for quitting smoking
is the ritual of forgiveness. Smokers smoke when they are mad. This tends to bring
the anger to the subconscious. Heres an excerpt from my book on the chapter entitled
The Ritual of Forgiveness: This ritual frees your heart. First think about everyone
who has ever wronged you. Make a list in your mind. Ask God or a saint in heaven
to help you forgive each person and why you need to forgive them. Perform this ritual
nightly until you have forgiven each individual.

You will find that your heart will become unburdened and you will forgive more
easily. You will find that you are not only better off not smoking but that you
are better off not holding resentment in your heart. Getting rid of any anger will
help you to be a calmer person who is ready to quit smoking.
