 It really does not matter much what they are caused by, refraining from
using tobacco for over a week, dramaticly reduces all physical addictions.
Go without them for 12 weeks and it is totally broke.  What is left are the
feelings or behavior caused by psychological addiction.  Tranquilizers help,
but they only give _temporary_ relief, when they wear off the psychological
cause is still present so the feelings come back.

 Practice the mental exercise in the messages, recalling pleasant memories
and pressing the fingers on your left hand until you develop the conditioned
reflex.  You will know you HAVE, when you do NOTHING but sit or lie down,
close your eyes and lightly or firmly press the finger and thumb on your left
hand.  When you can DO nothing more than that, and you find yourself RELAXING
or reducing stress AUTOMATICLY without attempting to think of anything, you
HAVE create the conditioned reflex...... Let me know when that happens, and I
will tell you what to do next to get rid of the _effects_ psychological
addiction.  It is _easier than you have ever been allowed to believe, even
heroin addicts can do it using this method, and it is a LOT easier to do so
with an adiction to tobacco.
