Work to break bad habits

John has been a heavy smoker for over 20 years. However,he finally decided to quit. So he paid a visit to a doctor to get some advice.

The doctor told John he used to smoke, too. “When I first tried quitting,” he said, “I told myself that cigarettes are awful, harmful to my health, dangerous to my family and damaging to my job.”

    “After this fight in my mind, I gave up for a while. But several days later I would wake up again and forget about my decision completely. “Maybe smoking is not so terrible?” I would try to find all kinds of excuses or reasons for my behavior and my decisions. ‘And what if I don't smoke around my family and go where nobody can see me?’”

He kept quitting and then starting again. His rationalization (合理化) made him pick up cigarettes again and again. Finally, he decided to try a different strategy.

“I took a cigarette in my hand, looked at it and told myself: ‘Yes, this cigarette will make me happy. I want to smoke it. But I will quit!’” the doctor said excitedly.

“This strategy worked, and I have not smoked a cigarette since.  The reason I think I succeeded is that I didn’t fool myself into trying to create a bad image (形象) of cigarettes. Instead, I agreed that I wanted it, but I chose to control my desires (欲望).”

“So be honest with yourself,” said the doctor. “Don't pretend you dislike playing computer games or eating fast food. Instead, tell yourself that these things are all fine only if you can control your desire for them Moderation is the key.”
