The Relax Aweigh Smoking Cessation Plan was developed in 1979, and had one simple goal in mind: quitting smoking as easily as possible.  Relax Aweigh understands that there are many aspects of nicotine withdrawal and successful quitting.  They are discussed below and addressed in the CD.

The Physical Addiction to Nicotine and the Emotional Attachment to Cigarettes

There are many aspects to quitting smoking due to the physical and emotional attachments to nicotine and the act of smoking cigarettes.  From the very first cigarette of the day (a physical and emotional need) to the after the meal cigarette (an emotional need) it is easy to get hooked and easy to have cigarettes and nicotine control your day.  That is why so many people find it difficult to give up nicotine and cigarettes.  Relax Aweigh has divided quitting smoking into two areas:

1. The physical addiction to nicotine.
2. The emotional addiction or attachment to cigarettes.

You can see the difference between the two by distinguishing between these examples.  If you really enjoy smoking in the car, then this is an emotional attachment to cigarettes.  If you are shaky if you haven’t smoked for a couple of hours this is the physical addiction to nicotine.  To be successful at quitting smoking, it is necessary to distinguish between the two very different reasons for smoking and to understand which need you are feeling when you want a cigarette.  Relax Aweigh has that covered. 

Your “Triggers” for wanting to smoke

A “trigger” is something that makes you want to have a cigarette or is a place or situation where you would usually smoke.  Some examples of triggers can be:  smoking a cigarette while drinking coffee, smoking in the car, smoking when you are nervous, excited, bored, etc.  Relax Aweigh takes away your desire to smoke in these situations.  Relax Aweigh understands that the emotional attachment to cigarettes is just as hard to quit as the addictive nature of nicotine.

Fear of Gaining Weight

So many people delay quitting smoking due to the fear of gaining weight.  Relax Aweigh understands this and you will find that you will not substitute the habit of overeating for smoking.

Willpower, indifference to smoking, and handling the symptoms of withdrawal

When most people quit smoking they are afraid that they do not have the needed willpower or that they will have to avoid their old friends or places where smoking used to take place.  Relax Aweigh understands that it  takes a strong desire to want to quit smoking and to be successful at it.  Relax Aweigh will give you the willpower to be in the same room as your smoking friends.  As a matter of fact, you will be so indifferent to smoking that you will not worry about the withdrawal symptoms.  You will have the confidence and motivation to stick to your plan.

How to use the Relax Aweigh CD

One of the most important factors to effectively quitting smoking is the motivation and desire behind your efforts.  Once you are completely motivated and sincerely want to quit smoking is the best time to listen to Relax Aweigh Smoking Cessation CD.  Relax Aweigh uses guided physical and emotional relaxation with motivating suggestions to help you quit the nicotine habit.  It takes about 20 minutes to listen to the CD and you will decide how often to listen to it.  Some people listen to it once on their quitting day and are smoke free, while others may need to listen to it more often to remain dedicated to quitting.  The key to Relax Aweigh Smoking Cessation’s success (and ultimately, yours) is a strong desire to quit and the ability to act on that desire.  When you are truly ready to quit smoking you will need only to listen to the audio and the addiction to nicotine is conquered.
