I'm not trying to make you feel bad. It's just very frustrating for me to have gone through such effort to make a program that works, and the responses have been that either people don't want to use it, or they insist on ignoring the instructions. The design of the program is what it is because my research, interviews and experiments (and successful results) all point to this being how to make it happen, and permanently so.
One of the biggest problems smokers have is that "quitting" doesn't mean they actually stop. If you stop smoking, you are no longer a smoker. You're either a nonsmoker, or an ex-smoker. But these days, "I quit smoking" doesn't mean a damned thing. Just ask any smoker over 18 how many times they have quit smoking, and you'll see my point. Quitting means you stop. What 99% of smokers do is pause for a while, not quit.
My program is designed to get you to stop smoking... and make that a permanent change. Stopping without making it permanent is not stopping, it's pausing. That's one of the biggest things I learned about how smoking works while I was doing my development: Getting a smoker to stop smoking is only part of the task. Turning them into a permanent ex-smoker is an entirely different thing.
If all we were trying to accomplish was "quitting", then a month or two would be fine for most people. But we don't want to pause the addiction, we want to erase it forever. That requires a lot more time. That's why each stage is to be used for 32 days straight, without interruption.
Another important thing is that for most smokers, quitting cold turkey is very stressful, and stress is what? A primary trigger to smoke. That's why the program is designed to be used while you smoke as you please. It will turn the addiction off, and you'll stop without stress, and then over time, the program will erase all the social hypnosis that causes a "smoker who quit" to start up again, and replace it with new beliefs that turn a "smoker who quit" into "a non-smoker".
What do smokers do? They smoke, of course. And what don't non-smokers do? Smoke, of course. That's an important part of the equation.
If you've successfully quit smoking already, it's probably not a good idea to start smoking again and allow the program to quit you again... just keep going with the program as you are, having stopped. But you need to start over on Stage 1 and run this program for 32 days per stage as if you just started using it for the first time. This is a very important program, and it needs to be used properly.
And by all means, please do keep a journal. I would appreciate having some feedback on the forum for those who are interested in the program from a point of view other than Patti's. :-) Nobody seems to want to post about this program.
