There are basically 2 approaches to quitting smoking (and other habit) - either stopping it immediately or making small steps. Both will work for different people. You just gotta find what works for you.</p> Zoli, thank for this example.

I really like how you say that a balanced, or “normal” system is not necessarily good or healthy, very interesting parallel.

Regarding small steps, I know a woman who went down from 2 packages a day to no smoking in less than a year. Small steps really work, it just needs a little patience. :D Take care, Zoli ;)

The macho No Pain No Gain attitude comes from a ego centered idea of "I need to prove myself". This is of course a compensatory attitude to cover up the underlying self image of "I am weak and not important". Proving yourself because of lack of self-worth always leads to dangerous and primitive ways.</p> Madeleine, you are right.

There's a lot going on here. The brain is trying to protect us, but--as you indicate--it's operating in a primitive way which worked better when our enemies were large, hungry carnivores rather than too much food or alcohol or such. The Non-Threatening Smallest Steps approach makes so much more sense than the macho No Pain No gain nonsense that we often hear. Thanks also for the book recommendation. I'm definitely going to check it out.</p> Patrick, Really excellent and important suggestions, especially regarding health. There’s a lot going on here.

Actually 2 weeks or 30 days that is the maximum timespan allowed nowadays by people for changing their life. They actually prefer 24 hour change with no work on their side. Voila, give me the magic pill. But maybe after a zillion failures with this approach they find out how change is really achievable.</p> Eduard, that is so true, and so sad.

It makes a lot of sense that small, gradual change, works better than fast, aggressive change, as it does not upset the balance. Too bad a lot of us don't have the patience for this.

Indeed resistence is in my opinion the biggest problem we face during our journey towards personal development.</p> Patty, thanks for coming over again.
