the way to stay smoke free is by still recognizing the importance of staying focused on the importance of having quit and that your continued success is contingent on simply understanding that to stay free of the control that nicotine once exerted on you is just knowing now to never take another puff!

We cannot re-write the...

For while the title of this piece was "Are you an intelligent smoker," I think it is easier to prove to the others and to prove to yourself that you are really an intelligent ex-smoker. Show yourself and the world that you are smart enough now to know that the way to stay smoke free is by still recognizing the importance of staying focused on the importance of having quit and that your continued success is contingent on simply understanding that to stay free of the control that...

Thanks for telling it exactly as it is. Actually, I'm much smarter as a recovering smoker than I ever was as an active addict.

I like this piece and feel that it is every bit as applicable to describing Freedom as it is to describing my clinics. I am sometime hesitant to bring it up too often for I don't want it to appear that I am trying to promote the clinic here at Freedom. As you may have noticed, I havn't brought this one up for almost half a year. I don't have a full clinic starting until February now so I don't feel this particular reservation at the moment.

The reason I don't...

Last night I graduated my current clinic, people who had all quit smoking two weeks ago. Normally as soon as I graduate a group I am preparing for my next group, which usually starts in two months. Promotion of clinics actually takes as much time as running the programs, just usually not as intense of an effort. Dealing with a whole group of people all in withdrawal at the same time is a bit more challenging than the promotion is.

I usually take don't hold clinics in the summer...

Joel, what a great promotion! Blunt. Hard-hitting. Completely honest. These are the qualities for which I honor you and the Freedom managers. I don't need nonsense and coddling. That will not keep me clean.

Was I an intelligent smoker? Heck, no! What could be more stupid? But I was a crafty nicotine addict. Always able to come up with one more rationalization,...

Brains tend to "take a leave of absence" when addictions are involved.....the most intelligent point about smoking - is never becoming a user.....sadly....all here got smart eventually....we are all quit, and we are all educated...Thanks to Freedom.

An intelligent smoker? I used to think so..........but it's funny, I got a whole lot smarter when I quit.

Hi Joel,
loved your promotion. It tells it like it is.

I smoked 38 years and believe me I have tried about everything at one time or another. Tried smoking herbal cigs.that were supposedly nicotine free. They left me just wanting a real cigarette with my drug in it. LOL Did hypnosis, patches, gum, the whole bit.

The only way is Cold Turkey and Education and support, which I found at Freedom. I will be forever grateful to you all. Betty

Hi Joel

We probably all think of ourselves as being intelligent but when it comes to our nicotine addiction we do not always act like it. I had tried the patches and hypnosis different times. As far as I am concerned, an educated COLD TURKEY quit with on-line support is the easiest way to quit smoking in the long run.

Below is a piece I wrote years ago to promote my clinics to potential clients. The same principles talked about here applies to Freedom participation also. Since the topics of acupuncture, hypnosis, and various other methods are brought up periodically, I thought I would show you how I addressed the issues for many years now. I actually used to have people call me all the time and ask my opinion of these methods, and my advice was always if they were considering coming to me or...
