you could say an addiction is a thought pattern, accompanied by a specific behaviour that we become identified with and dependant on. a simple test is to just look at the arrising thought and choose to not react to it. Check out what happens next!

This is called "neuro-association." It's excellent because it covers everything in your life, from work to play.

Once you understand it, you'll see how to sell people stuff very quickly, change people's thoughts, etc. You'll be able to manipulate yourself and others.

Want to stop smoking? Learn what neuro-association is and you can quit in a single day.

Yeah yeah.. but learn what neuro-association is and you'll be even better.

Why do commercials use celebrities for Ads? Because people who like that celebrity will associate their product with them and want to use it because they like the celebrity.

Why did Pepsi pay Michael Jackson Millions in the 80s to do a 3 minute Pepsi commericial even AFTER he came out and said he didn't drink or like Pepsi? Because MJ had a big fan base.

that's how I quit.....I use to get a craving to smoke when I was driving to work at a certain part of the road.....so I stopped going that way or I'd text a friend when I was close to that point and my cravings stopped.

I'm 48 days without a cigarette.

I know exactly what it is. It's my stress relief. Anytime I have a smoke is when i have a break. It takes me away from the stressful moment of what I'm doing and lets me relax...goin through stress without a break is killer...hence the crying teehee..

Addiction: porn, masturbation, sex
Triggers: hot women, big booties, hormones
Solution: none, I don't want to change. I like sex. Castration would probably work though.

Yes I know, I'm shallow.

You do you know that smoking causes you to have a false sense of stress relief? It helps create stress by the way it effects your body.

Don't smoke to take a break from the stress, take a break to get away from the stress. Try chewing gum. Tell yourself smoking is bad and believe it.

I used to drink 2-3 cans of pepsi at work.. then one day I just told myself I don't like the taste of any of it and I started drinking water. Now water tastes really good to me.. cold. heh

either this is a subconsious thing saying "no your wrong you buttmunch!" or it's real :P but I dont walk away from any job easily until it's done. If I actually enjoy what I'm doing I'll sit here and do it for the entire 8 hour day and not move from my spot. But if I am stressin out, man that 15 min break feels excellent when you get to walk outside, take a deep breathe, and think about nuthin.

At home I dont smoke..it's just at work, goes with the territory me thinks

Just like social smoking when you drink..

You associate stress and smoking. Next time you want to go out for a smoke, go read the comics or something and focus on that..

The key to a state change is to take something that makes you not happy and replace it with something that makes you happy.

stop reading fortune cookies aloud, ok? You can do it, just imagine the words in your head without actually saying them.

Or perhaps I am shallow because I recognized my shallowness in a shallow post... and maybe I posted it to make you think I'm shallow but I'm really not.

OK now my head hurts. Must not think. Go home. Eat steak. Drink beer. Bang wife. Head will be clear later tomorrow... argggggggg (caveman grunt)

Read that as I inhaled, held my breath until turning blue, exhaled, pleasant rush, repeat.
