When, I gave up smoking a plant, I did not find it difficult as I had taken a photo of the results of an X-ray which showed a fist sized hole in my lung caused by it, so I posted 4 copies on the backside of the door (Jane Ogden, p 30). I for the most part just looked at this photo whenever I felt the cravings, and for the most part it put me off, but it was difficult as everyone I know also smokes it and I had to be a rock to lose the cravings all together. Being laid up in a bed in isolation with I.V.'s and tubes and multiple shots including D.V.T.'s daily for nearly 4 weeks is a big motivator to change your behavior for whatever reason.
Apart from the pain of all the procedures that I had to under go to find out why I was so ill, could there have been an easier way to motivate a life long smoker of a plant to stop?
