This auditorium is empty now,
00:00:02.31\00:00:03.80
soon is gonna be filled
with people who need to,
00:00:03.84\00:00:06.98
and want to stop
smoking. If you're a smoker,
00:00:07.02\00:00:09.49
I'm absolutely
certain that you've given some
00:00:09.52\00:00:11.96
thought to stop it.
Now, is an excellent
00:00:11.99\00:00:14.83
opportunity for you to do so?
00:00:14.86\00:00:16.02
I'm Dr. Arthur
Weaver, a cancer surgeon
00:00:16.06\00:00:18.92
and I've had
considerable success in helping
00:00:18.96\00:00:21.29
people to stop smoking.
If you'll join the group
00:00:21.33\00:00:23.63
right here in this auditorium,
00:00:23.66\00:00:25.42
you also will be able to quit.
00:00:25.46\00:00:27.15
We're going to
give you the principles,
00:00:27.19\00:00:29.11
we're gonna tell you
how, we're going to see
00:00:29.15\00:00:31.02
you through the
withdrawal process.
00:00:31.05\00:00:32.55
I have no question
join us, you'll make it.
00:00:32.59\00:00:35.81
Well, you're here
right. This is the night.
00:01:07.74\00:01:12.03
You waited for
this for a longtime.
00:01:14.09\00:01:15.62
All these years and
now you're gonna get that
00:01:18.46\00:01:21.67
monkey off your
back. We're gonna start
00:01:21.70\00:01:25.00
smelling nice,
you will smell better
00:01:25.03\00:01:27.41
tomorrow night,
than you do tonight
00:01:27.44\00:01:29.72
I can guarantee you
that. But if we're going
00:01:29.75\00:01:34.61
to quit smoking, I
give you my money back
00:01:34.64\00:01:38.07
guarantee okay we
will get that right off it,
00:01:38.11\00:01:41.51
if you come
regularly every night.
00:01:41.54\00:01:45.35
And if you follow the
program as we've got it
00:01:46.55\00:01:49.18
outlined, you'll quit smoking.
00:01:49.21\00:01:52.74
There is only one
person that can keep you
00:01:54.60\00:01:56.91
from succeeding
you know who that is,
00:01:56.94\00:01:59.20
that's yourself.
Now, we've learned that
00:02:00.57\00:02:05.92
there are number of
principles that will lead
00:02:05.96\00:02:08.35
to success and
there are number of things
00:02:08.39\00:02:11.03
that will lead to
failure. And one of the
00:02:11.06\00:02:13.63
greatest things that
will lead to failure is fear.
00:02:13.67\00:02:17.07
What do you think
are some of the fears
00:02:19.29\00:02:21.04
that will keep people
from stopping smoking?
00:02:22.23\00:02:24.68
Well I fear weight gain sure,
00:02:25.59\00:02:27.82
that's one of the
things that lot of people
00:02:27.86\00:02:29.88
are worried about
particularly women,
00:02:29.91\00:02:31.53
they wanna keep
that's well figure.
00:02:31.56\00:02:33.11
And they say well if
I'm gonna gain a 100 pounds
00:02:33.15\00:02:36.61
of weight; I might
well die of smoking as die
00:02:36.64\00:02:39.60
of obesity, right.
Have you ever heard people
00:02:39.64\00:02:42.57
talk about that?
Well, we're gonna spend
00:02:42.60\00:02:45.25
the whole evening
basically I'm telling you
00:02:45.28\00:02:47.90
how to stop
smoking without looking
00:02:47.93\00:02:49.93
like a beach ball with arms.
00:02:49.96\00:02:51.30
How to stop
smoking without turning
00:02:53.67\00:02:55.87
into a blimp you
know what I'm saying.
00:02:55.90\00:02:58.07
And we've got the principles
00:02:58.10\00:02:59.89
and if you listen
to them well but no one
00:02:59.93\00:03:02.92
will ever gain enough weight,
00:03:02.95\00:03:04.35
so that they will
be is at much risk
00:03:05.87\00:03:10.12
after they stop
smoking and gain the weight
00:03:11.18\00:03:14.87
as they would be
with continuing smoke.
00:03:14.90\00:03:18.56
We carry about the
same risk as the person
00:03:20.44\00:03:22.66
who smokes a pack
of cigarettes a day.
00:03:22.69\00:03:24.88
You have to gain 80
pounds once you quit
00:03:25.80\00:03:27.71
smoking and no one is
going to gain 80 pounds.
00:03:27.75\00:03:32.92
And if you think
that you have a tremendous
00:03:33.67\00:03:35.65
weight problem, I'd
like you to talk with me
00:03:35.68\00:03:37.87
and I'll give you
some personal suggestions
00:03:37.91\00:03:40.03
and some personal
people I know they can help you
00:03:40.07\00:03:41.83
with the weight
problem. Right now,
00:03:41.86\00:03:44.32
if you're a smoker your
greatest single problem,
00:03:44.36\00:03:46.68
your greatest single health risk
00:03:46.71\00:03:48.92
is your smoking
habit, so fear of weight gain
00:03:48.96\00:03:51.59
is one thing. What are
some of the other fears
00:03:51.63\00:03:53.96
that might keep
people from stopping smoking?
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.30
Fear of failure yes,
you've already failed
00:03:57.05\00:03:59.99
once or twice,
you've tried that you know
00:04:00.03\00:04:02.90
the 20, 19, 18, 17,
16. Said you're gonna do it
00:04:02.94\00:04:06.14
and then you didn't
and then you went back.
00:04:06.18\00:04:09.35
Now, the only thing
that can keep you from
00:04:10.08\00:04:14.25
stopping smoking
if you fail before
00:04:14.28\00:04:17.78
is failing to try
again. And its true there are
00:04:17.82\00:04:22.51
a lot of people
quit and then go back,
00:04:22.54\00:04:27.89
but if they will
grow and learn from their
00:04:29.16\00:04:32.11
failed experience.
When you started walking you
00:04:32.15\00:04:35.67
think you ever fell
down. Yeah if you stay
00:04:35.70\00:04:39.23
there on the
ground would you've ever
00:04:39.26\00:04:41.50
learned to walk?
No, you bounce backup
00:04:41.54\00:04:43.92
and you go right
on walking again.
00:04:43.95\00:04:46.26
Sure. If you've
failed before let's grow
00:04:46.30\00:04:50.47
and learn from
the past experience
00:04:50.50\00:04:52.20
and let's make this one
the time when we opt out.
00:04:52.24\00:04:56.60
Wouldn't you like
to walk out of here
00:04:56.63\00:04:59.47
next Monday night
feeling good about yourself?
00:05:00.31\00:05:05.20
You know, I finally got
this thing I got it doc,
00:05:05.23\00:05:10.09
I got it, I got it.
Oh there is not gonna
00:05:10.12\00:05:13.03
be able, one of the fun things
00:05:13.06\00:05:14.38
I have is coming
back to the clinic
00:05:14.42\00:05:17.57
and having people come
back that have stopped,
00:05:17.61\00:05:20.53
and lot of times
those people come
00:05:21.28\00:05:23.59
and help me in the
programs, so I thought
00:05:23.63\00:05:25.28
I will introduce you
to a couple of people.
00:05:25.32\00:05:26.94
I don't know
whether I can see them
00:05:26.97\00:05:28.74
or not but is Karen back there.
00:05:28.77\00:05:30.47
Yes, you are looking
good. Well thank you.
00:05:30.51\00:05:35.56
She smells a lot
better when I first met her.
00:05:35.59\00:05:39.51
Oh yeah, smell lot
better. Yeah you do it;
00:05:39.55\00:05:43.44
you know the smokers don't know
00:05:43.47\00:05:44.79
that they stink. No
they don't, not at all.
00:05:44.83\00:05:47.56
But every non-smoker knows it,
00:05:47.59\00:05:50.35
you know the women's
puts on the little perfume
00:05:50.39\00:05:53.01
and she goes
walking down the street,
00:05:53.04\00:05:54.68
she thinks
everybody smells her perfume
00:05:54.71\00:05:56.29
they go by and say
there is another smoker.
00:05:56.33\00:05:57.88
You smell good.
You know everybody
00:06:00.04\00:06:01.64
would stinks, but I don't.
00:06:01.67\00:06:03.75
What's program
was it you came too.
00:06:04.97\00:06:07.53
First one was here last year.
00:06:07.56\00:06:09.46
You came last
year, then what happened.
00:06:10.56\00:06:12.95
I was so professionated,
I came again in November.
00:06:14.01\00:06:16.38
Did you get off last year. Yeah,
00:06:17.56\00:06:19.29
I did for 5 months. 5 months
00:06:19.32\00:06:20.98
and then what
happened. Then I start
00:06:21.02\00:06:24.04
smoking again.
Why? Probably because
00:06:24.08\00:06:27.03
I started drinking
again, that's my trigger.
00:06:27.07\00:06:28.67
That's your
trigger. That's my trigger.
00:06:31.83\00:06:34.21
Yeah well we will
talk about that as we go
00:06:34.25\00:06:36.60
along, but its
interesting isn't it.
00:06:36.63\00:06:38.17
She got off for
five, you were feeling
00:06:38.20\00:06:39.88
pretty good then.
Oh yes feeling great.
00:06:39.92\00:06:41.53
Now, Thursday night
we're going to talk about
00:06:41.57\00:06:45.60
how to keep on
keeping off. Now you must have
00:06:45.64\00:06:49.64
forgot that
lecture. Yeah probably did,
00:06:49.67\00:06:51.82
I wasn't paying
attention. Went to sleep.
00:06:52.72\00:06:55.31
No, I thought, I
thought I was ready
00:06:55.34\00:06:57.74
for it, I wasn't.
Anyhow you got off
00:06:57.77\00:07:00.10
for five months and that
was a learning experience
00:07:00.14\00:07:01.93
for you and then
what? Then I started back
00:07:01.96\00:07:05.83
and I felt bad as
I couldn't exercise
00:07:05.86\00:07:07.72
anymore, couldn't
do what I used to do.
00:07:07.76\00:07:09.74
Then I heard a
program was coming on again
00:07:09.77\00:07:11.95
and I decided to come
again and worked again.
00:07:11.98\00:07:14.17
And in November you
came to the one in Ohio,
00:07:14.21\00:07:16.37
and you quit again. Again.
00:07:16.40\00:07:18.14
How do you feel about it now?
00:07:18.18\00:07:19.85
A lot better, I am lot
more confident about it.
00:07:19.89\00:07:23.06
What do you think you
can do differently this time?
00:07:23.10\00:07:27.13
I don't drink, no not
at all. You quit drinking?
00:07:27.17\00:07:31.17
Quit drinking,
yeah, and I pray a lot.
00:07:31.20\00:07:33.81
You pray a lot. I pray a lot.
00:07:33.84\00:07:35.26
Renewing those
spiritual resources.
00:07:35.30\00:07:38.28
Yeah and it
helps, it helps a lot.
00:07:38.32\00:07:41.23
And what do you
think, what's your advice you
00:07:41.27\00:07:43.62
got for these people
here as they are sitting here
00:07:43.66\00:07:46.29
nervous tonight and wondering
00:07:46.32\00:07:47.87
how they're gonna make up.
00:07:47.91\00:07:49.39
Pay attention
definitely. Don't go to sleep.
00:07:49.43\00:07:51.91
Don't go to sleep and
it only hurts for about
00:07:51.95\00:07:54.40
3 days and that's
honestly God's truth.
00:07:54.43\00:07:57.15
After about 7, 8
days off the cigarettes,
00:07:57.19\00:07:59.88
I could actually go one full day
00:07:59.91\00:08:01.29
not even think about
it. You think these people
00:08:01.33\00:08:03.49
are going to love
being free from smoking.
00:08:03.52\00:08:04.69
They are going to love
being free from smoking.
00:08:04.73\00:08:06.65
You think we are
all wined them up here
00:08:06.68\00:08:08.08
together you want
to help me direct them.
00:08:08.12\00:08:11.45
I am gonna love
being free from smoking.
00:08:11.48\00:08:14.78
There you go that's a good,
00:08:14.81\00:08:15.82
let's give Karen a
hand, shall we do that.
00:08:15.86\00:08:17.58
Is Helen here somewhere? Oh yes
00:08:23.79\00:08:27.87
now these are two
ladies who were passing out,
00:08:27.91\00:08:29.90
you see what your
risk is when you come here
00:08:29.93\00:08:33.37
because I think I
met both of these ladies
00:08:33.41\00:08:37.54
here at this very
spot, she one year ago,
00:08:37.57\00:08:41.67
you how many years ago? Three.
00:08:41.70\00:08:43.13
Three years ago,
and you had how much
00:08:43.17\00:08:46.32
were you
smoking. Well about a pack
00:08:46.36\00:08:49.44
and half a day. And
you had tried several times
00:08:49.48\00:08:52.65
to quit. Oh I quit
and started hundred times.
00:08:52.68\00:08:56.69
And what made you
decide to come to this program.
00:08:56.72\00:09:00.70
Well I got a little
note with my pay check
00:09:01.83\00:09:03.56
and I thought boy
they're trying to tell me
00:09:03.60\00:09:05.46
something,
everybody don't smoke but me.
00:09:05.50\00:09:08.04
But I came anyway
because I thought maybe
00:09:08.07\00:09:10.54
it might help me after
I get over feeling like
00:09:10.58\00:09:12.49
somebody was picking out me so.
00:09:12.52\00:09:14.24
And how did the
program go for you.
00:09:15.19\00:09:16.75
Fine, fine after about
a week or so I was fine.
00:09:16.79\00:09:19.95
And that was three years ago.
00:09:20.84\00:09:23.49
Three years this
month. And you haven't smoked
00:09:23.53\00:09:26.10
since. Not one. And
you feel good about it.
00:09:26.13\00:09:28.67
Feel great. What
advice you got for this group.
00:09:28.70\00:09:31.21
Just stick in there
because you will make it,
00:09:31.25\00:09:33.73
and you feel so much better.
00:09:33.76\00:09:36.34
You think they will
love being free from smoking.
00:09:36.38\00:09:38.08
Yes they will love
being free. Let's try
00:09:38.11\00:09:39.08
one more time. We are gonna love
00:09:39.09\00:09:40.95
being free from
smoking. Thank you, alright.
00:09:40.99\00:09:45.14
Just think one year
ago, three years ago,
00:09:51.90\00:09:53.66
they were where
you where you were at
00:09:53.70\00:09:55.43
and they are now both
free, isn't that good?
00:09:56.56\00:10:01.45
Yeah, don't you
want to be that way
00:10:01.48\00:10:04.45
and you can be that way. Fears,
00:10:04.48\00:10:07.38
any other fears that
might keep you from stop,
00:10:07.42\00:10:11.17
from irritability, fear
perhaps of going through
00:10:11.21\00:10:14.93
the withdrawal
situation. You've done it
00:10:14.96\00:10:17.85
before right and you
feel a little miserable.
00:10:17.89\00:10:21.14
And when you
begin to feel miserable,
00:10:22.30\00:10:23.99
you know all
addictions work the same way.
00:10:25.40\00:10:27.18
You get the drug, you
get addicted to the drug,
00:10:29.12\00:10:32.85
then you don't get
the drug and you feel
00:10:32.88\00:10:35.84
uncomfortable.
And what do you say;
00:10:35.87\00:10:38.21
if I only had my
cigarette in this case,
00:10:39.00\00:10:44.19
I would feel
better. So, 30 times a day
00:10:44.22\00:10:49.34
you feel kind a
miserable and then you smoke
00:10:49.38\00:10:53.31
your friendly
little suicide machine
00:10:53.34\00:10:57.75
and you feel better, and
you say that's my friend.
00:10:59.06\00:11:04.38
Isn't that the
way you think of it.
00:11:04.41\00:11:06.25
You don't think
that's the thing that made me
00:11:07.03\00:11:09.75
feel bad. You say
that's the thing it made me
00:11:09.79\00:11:12.17
feel better, what was
actually thing that made
00:11:12.20\00:11:14.22
you feel bad so it
can make you feel better,
00:11:14.25\00:11:16.24
so it can make you feel bad.
00:11:16.27\00:11:17.28
Thirty times a day
you go through that
00:11:17.32\00:11:19.23
and pretty soon you
begin to think of cigarettes
00:11:19.27\00:11:20.81
as your friend. When really,
00:11:20.84\00:11:24.87
that's the
cause of your problem.
00:11:24.91\00:11:27.16
I don't care if
you're an alcoholic;
00:11:27.20\00:11:28.96
the alcoholic feels the same way
00:11:28.99\00:11:30.68
about his alcohol. If
I only had my alcohol,
00:11:30.72\00:11:34.43
I would be okay. If
I only had my caffeine
00:11:34.47\00:11:38.15
I would be okay. If I
only had my amphetamine,
00:11:39.08\00:11:43.01
my crack cocaine or
whatever is they all work
00:11:43.80\00:11:47.73
the same way. The
person who is addicted feels
00:11:47.77\00:11:51.67
like this is what
he needs to be normal.
00:11:51.70\00:11:53.85
You know there are
lot of people think
00:11:54.83\00:11:56.13
you know there
is nothing to matter
00:11:56.17\00:11:57.40
with neither the
little nicotine effects.
00:11:57.44\00:12:00.42
I think I have a
normal you know what I have
00:12:01.38\00:12:06.41
a nicotine
deficiency. And soon as
00:12:06.44\00:12:11.98
I get a cigarette
or two, I feel okay.
00:12:12.01\00:12:17.52
Now in the next
day or two as you are
00:12:18.47\00:12:20.38
going through this withdrawal
00:12:20.41\00:12:21.72
if you feel badly
and you say if cigarettes
00:12:21.76\00:12:24.69
make me feel that
way, boy am I glad
00:12:24.72\00:12:27.27
I am quitting you understand
00:12:27.30\00:12:28.32
what I am saying
because what makes
00:12:28.36\00:12:31.11
you feel badly. The program no,
00:12:31.14\00:12:33.86
did we pass you out
any pills when you came in.
00:12:35.34\00:12:37.28
Did we give you any
shots on the way out?
00:12:38.43\00:12:40.90
Did you pass you
any flu germs, no.
00:12:40.93\00:12:43.90
If you feel badly is
because the cigarettes
00:12:44.44\00:12:46.71
made you feel
badly. So, put the blame
00:12:46.74\00:12:50.15
word is when you feel
badly and you're going
00:12:50.19\00:12:53.03
through the withdrawal
say wow I am not going
00:12:53.07\00:12:55.47
to go through this
again after I get over
00:12:55.50\00:12:59.38
this once I am
through once and for all.
00:12:59.42\00:13:02.62
Now, that's why
we have the program,
00:13:02.65\00:13:05.78
that's why we're going
to be here Tuesday night,
00:13:05.82\00:13:08.72
Wednesday night, Thursday night,
00:13:08.75\00:13:10.76
Friday night to see
you through the miseries,
00:13:10.80\00:13:14.88
okay. Did you ever
know it's more fun to go
00:13:14.92\00:13:18.93
through miseries together
than it is to go through
00:13:18.97\00:13:21.04
them separately? And
as you see the people
00:13:21.07\00:13:23.96
suffering the
miseries next to you?
00:13:23.99\00:13:25.80
You can console each
other and commiserate
00:13:26.65\00:13:29.26
and all those other
things that you wanna do
00:13:29.30\00:13:31.88
and each one of us
will be a support system
00:13:32.65\00:13:35.85
for the other, you hear me.
00:13:37.08\00:13:39.29
Sure now any other
fears that is concerning you.
00:13:40.56\00:13:44.81
Fear of what?
Fear of success okay,
00:13:45.68\00:13:51.10
he is afraid of
success. What will I do
00:13:51.14\00:13:55.23
with my hands
maybe? What I'm gonna do
00:13:55.26\00:13:59.28
with all the money I
saved? What am I gonna do
00:13:59.32\00:14:02.22
with the extra
years of your life
00:14:02.25\00:14:03.79
and these are
things like I would like
00:14:03.83\00:14:05.81
to make
decisions on, wouldn't you?
00:14:05.84\00:14:07.79
Yeah, okay now we
notice several things
00:14:08.74\00:14:14.02
one of them that
assumption determines
00:14:14.05\00:14:19.25
our behavior. What
assumption can I make
00:14:19.28\00:14:24.41
that will cause me to
fail? That I am not gonna
00:14:24.45\00:14:29.06
make it, if I think I
am not going to make it
00:14:29.10\00:14:33.68
you think you
will, no highly unlikely.
00:14:33.71\00:14:36.60
On the other hand if
you know you are going
00:14:36.64\00:14:40.05
to make it, you think
you will without a doubt
00:14:40.09\00:14:43.47
you make it. So, if you
know when you leave here
00:14:44.25\00:14:48.97
tonight that's on
your way, that nothing
00:14:49.00\00:14:51.71
is going to stop
you. This is the time;
00:14:51.75\00:14:54.52
this is the place,
every thing is in order
00:14:54.55\00:14:57.71
I am going to be a
non-smoker you know what
00:14:57.74\00:15:00.87
you will be. Now,
how do you make it easy
00:15:01.67\00:15:06.20
for yourself? Well the
basic way to make it easy
00:15:06.24\00:15:09.55
for yourself is
to make your decision
00:15:09.58\00:15:13.67
very firmly. The fact
is the firmer you make
00:15:13.71\00:15:19.71
your decision the
easier it is to quit.
00:15:20.52\00:15:23.69
You want me to drive
by that one more time
00:15:23.73\00:15:26.87
because it's true.
Now let me give you
00:15:27.83\00:15:30.66
an illustration.
Several years ago my daughter
00:15:30.70\00:15:34.71
who was a nurse and her
husband is an internist,
00:15:34.75\00:15:38.73
they went mission
service to Taiwan,
00:15:38.76\00:15:42.29
and they left
with a couple of boys
00:15:42.32\00:15:44.99
and she was
pregnant when they left.
00:15:45.03\00:15:47.67
And she said to her
husband she left daddy,
00:15:49.51\00:15:52.62
momma when we get
over there you got to come
00:15:52.66\00:15:55.74
see this little baby there.
00:15:55.77\00:15:57.16
She thought that
would be a good excuse
00:15:57.20\00:15:59.26
to see them here you
know. So, pretty soon
00:15:59.30\00:16:01.82
she wrote back and yes
they had a new baby boy
00:16:01.86\00:16:04.35
and they kept
saying you've got to come
00:16:05.21\00:16:07.71
and see your new
grandson. And I kept
00:16:07.74\00:16:10.40
saying to my wife,
honey we got to go see
00:16:10.44\00:16:12.65
our new grandson.
She said yes we got to go
00:16:12.69\00:16:14.83
see our new grandson.
You think that got us there.
00:16:14.87\00:16:16.85
No, we just kept
talking about it and nothing
00:16:17.70\00:16:20.69
much was
happening. We got to go yes
00:16:20.72\00:16:22.85
we should go.
One day I came home
00:16:22.89\00:16:24.95
and I said Snokes,
that's what I call my wife
00:16:24.99\00:16:28.82
sometime. I said
Snoke, now listen carefully
00:16:28.85\00:16:33.93
I have decided that
we're going to Taiwan.
00:16:33.96\00:16:39.01
Oh! You have, but
you see they kept sending
00:16:40.07\00:16:43.38
these letters,
telling us how precocious
00:16:43.41\00:16:46.81
this boy was. How
good looking he was.
00:16:46.84\00:16:50.21
How much he reminded
them of your grandfather.
00:16:51.05\00:16:55.03
And that helped
make up my mind you see.
00:16:58.71\00:17:01.03
So I said sure honey, I
have decided we're going
00:17:01.07\00:17:06.24
to Taiwan, oh! You
have, have you brought
00:17:06.27\00:17:08.72
the tickets. Yes and I
told them at the office,
00:17:08.76\00:17:12.11
cancel the office for
the month of November.
00:17:12.15\00:17:15.47
And I told them
the operating room
00:17:15.50\00:17:18.27
don't look for me I'll
not be there you can use
00:17:18.31\00:17:22.00
that operating
room. Do you think we were
00:17:22.03\00:17:25.70
on the plane on
November 1? Yeah,
00:17:25.73\00:17:28.90
why were we on the
plane? Because we had decided
00:17:29.85\00:17:35.30
but now notice this
we had not only decided
00:17:35.33\00:17:37.97
but everything we did afterward
00:17:38.00\00:17:41.54
we made
inconformity with that decision.
00:17:41.58\00:17:45.88
Now, if you leave
you here tonight having
00:17:46.63\00:17:49.65
decided to quit
smoking. And then every step
00:17:49.69\00:17:52.38
you make afterwards
will be inconformity
00:17:52.42\00:17:55.53
with that
decision. It won't be nearly
00:17:55.56\00:17:58.64
as tough as you think? And maybe
00:17:58.67\00:18:03.15
I can last little
bit by talking about
00:18:03.19\00:18:07.00
my addiction,
chocolate covered nuts.
00:18:07.03\00:18:10.81
I love chocolate covered nuts,
00:18:13.46\00:18:16.26
so one time you see
I take a look at myself
00:18:18.94\00:18:21.80
in a mirror and I
said honey I'm getting
00:18:21.84\00:18:24.72
little fat. Then she
says why don't you do
00:18:24.76\00:18:27.61
something about
it. Oh! I saw I think
00:18:27.64\00:18:29.78
I will and what
do you plan to do.
00:18:29.82\00:18:31.86
Well I plan to
give up all sweets.
00:18:31.89\00:18:33.90
Well, that's good
idea but there is one thing
00:18:36.40\00:18:39.23
I should tell you, what's that?
00:18:39.26\00:18:42.11
You know your
friend Joel, he knew
00:18:42.15\00:18:44.85
it is your
birthday. He knew how much
00:18:44.88\00:18:47.21
you would like
chocolate covered nuts,
00:18:47.24\00:18:49.62
and you know what
came in the mail today,
00:18:49.65\00:18:52.00
a three pound box of
chocolate covered nuts.
00:18:54.73\00:18:58.93
So, she brings them out
and I take off the cover
00:18:58.96\00:19:03.13
and there it is light chocolate
00:19:03.16\00:19:06.06
and dark chocolate
and filberts and pecans
00:19:06.10\00:19:11.70
and the aroma
comes up out of the box
00:19:11.73\00:19:14.59
and in each corner of the box
00:19:14.62\00:19:16.79
there is stack of tools.
00:19:16.82\00:19:19.09
So, I say, I really
should go on a diet,
00:19:25.83\00:19:30.09
but I don't know,
they should look good
00:19:31.34\00:19:37.34
I think I should go on
a diet. I should just one,
00:19:38.36\00:19:43.34
never mind. Before
I know what happened
00:19:44.63\00:19:49.97
the box is half
empty. What was the matter
00:19:50.00\00:19:55.31
with my
decision to go on a diet?
00:19:55.34\00:19:57.44
It wasn't very firmly made up,
00:19:59.20\00:20:02.50
would you agree
with that? As soon as
00:20:02.54\00:20:04.62
the first
temptation came along there
00:20:04.65\00:20:06.66
I was salving over
these chocolate covered nuts.
00:20:06.70\00:20:11.35
Now, let's picture it again.
00:20:13.63\00:20:15.08
I will tell my
wife I'm going on a diet
00:20:15.90\00:20:17.88
and she brings out the
nuts and I say honey look
00:20:17.92\00:20:20.07
I told you that I
was going on a diet,
00:20:21.77\00:20:24.71
I can't eat those.
I wish you give those
00:20:24.75\00:20:27.19
to the kids and
have them distribute them
00:20:27.22\00:20:29.59
in the neighborhood,
and I heard kids are happy
00:20:29.63\00:20:31.23
and nuts are out of the door
00:20:31.26\00:20:33.17
and I feel like
twinge or two's that go by.
00:20:34.79\00:20:37.02
But you know what
they won't drive me nuts
00:20:37.77\00:20:40.96
over the course of the day.
00:20:40.99\00:20:42.29
You know why they're not there,
00:20:43.24\00:20:47.60
but why aren't they
there? Because you see
00:20:47.64\00:20:51.94
I made up my mind
firmly in fact as when the nuts
00:20:51.98\00:20:55.17
went by I kind a
threw my shoulders back
00:20:55.20\00:20:57.00
and I said you really did it oh,
00:20:57.03\00:20:58.19
Arthur I'm proud of
you. Do you see what
00:20:58.23\00:21:01.60
I'm talking about
making up my mind firmly?
00:21:01.63\00:21:04.97
Maybe I could
share a parable with you.
00:21:05.79\00:21:07.95
Now, you understand
what the parable is.
00:21:09.31\00:21:13.30
Parable is a story
to illustrate a point.
00:21:14.60\00:21:17.01
Now, it may not necessarily be a
00:21:18.64\00:21:20.45
true story you
understand that or it could be.
00:21:20.49\00:21:23.16
But it tells a
point, I like you to decide
00:21:23.20\00:21:25.58
afterwards whether
the parable is fact
00:21:25.61\00:21:28.27
or fiction. But
listen to the parable,
00:21:28.30\00:21:30.93
I have a friend and I
did have a friend who died
00:21:33.37\00:21:37.28
but his name is
called John Paul Getty,
00:21:37.31\00:21:41.37
did you ever heard
of him. Now, John made
00:21:41.40\00:21:45.39
a lot of money, like
he was a multi billionaire
00:21:45.43\00:21:49.75
and before he
died he gave me a ring
00:21:49.78\00:21:52.06
and he said Arthur
you know he said I'm sick,
00:21:52.10\00:21:56.07
and I may not be around long.
00:21:56.10\00:21:58.81
I like to do
something good with my money
00:22:00.50\00:22:03.23
before I check
out of this world.
00:22:03.26\00:22:05.78
He said I know
you're into a lot of
00:22:07.27\00:22:08.90
health education
and that kind of thing.
00:22:09.75\00:22:12.12
Would you use a
little money to help
00:22:13.86\00:22:16.50
your programs? And I
said John I was gonna go,
00:22:16.54\00:22:20.78
he said how much do
you need I said John
00:22:22.82\00:22:24.81
I think 2 billion will be good.
00:22:24.84\00:22:27.65
So, he sent the
money. He was thinking
00:22:37.08\00:22:40.03
he couldn't
take it with him anyway.
00:22:40.07\00:22:42.99
So, he said what are
your plans to do with it?
00:22:44.48\00:22:48.30
I said, I plan to
use it for motivation.
00:22:48.33\00:22:50.15
We haven't spent it all yet.
00:22:51.89\00:22:52.86
So ladies and
gentlemen, I have good news
00:22:52.90\00:22:54.59
for you tonight.
Everyone that's here tonight,
00:22:54.63\00:23:00.14
if they can go without
the next five days
00:23:01.48\00:23:03.31
a cigarette, I'll give
00:23:03.34\00:23:05.97
you a million dollars.
00:23:06.00\00:23:07.89
Now how many think you
can make it? Raise your hands.
00:23:18.51\00:23:20.79
Now isn't that amazing?
The fact is we would have
00:23:25.06\00:23:29.89
them lined up behind the platform
00:23:29.92\00:23:32.05
if we had that
million dollars, right?
00:23:32.09\00:23:33.82
I'll admit that
was just a parable.
00:23:33.85\00:23:35.55
But I think it allows
me to raise the point.
00:23:39.83\00:23:41.68
Let me ask you
question; if there is a
00:23:41.72\00:23:43.50
million dollars
riding on it, do you think
00:23:43.54\00:23:46.38
you would carry
cigarettes around
00:23:46.41\00:23:47.38
in your pocket just in case?
00:23:47.39\00:23:48.62
I guarantee you
that everyone here
00:23:50.75\00:23:52.76
would get that million dollars,
00:23:52.79\00:23:54.73
do you believe
that? Somebody would say,
00:23:54.77\00:23:57.29
"lock me in the room, slide
the food under the door,
00:23:57.33\00:23:59.54
call me at the end of five
00:23:59.57\00:24:02.05
days."  But one way or
another you would make it,
00:24:08.18\00:24:10.56
why? Because you see, you
would consider the trade
00:24:13.75\00:24:16.48
off worth it;
right. One of the things
00:24:16.51\00:24:22.51
I discovered as a
cancer surgeon is frequently
00:24:27.20\00:24:32.27
smokers get problems
that money won't cure.
00:24:33.89\00:24:36.80
Even the best
medical care in the country
00:24:38.49\00:24:42.95
won't take care
of. So, now you've got
00:24:42.98\00:24:47.37
your million dollars,
okay and you're feeling
00:24:47.41\00:24:52.16
good I mean you've
checked into Condo down
00:24:52.19\00:24:55.91
on Myrtle Beach,
you are down in Florida
00:24:55.95\00:24:59.09
somewhere. You are
thinking about getting
00:24:59.12\00:25:02.13
small yacht. I mean
things are looking out
00:25:02.16\00:25:05.52
pretty good, right.
Now you've just resigned
00:25:05.56\00:25:08.52
your job because you
did wanna do that anymore.
00:25:08.55\00:25:11.48
And then you think long enough,
00:25:13.52\00:25:18.13
I mean there if when you checked
00:25:18.16\00:25:22.70
in your friendly family
physician, he looks down
00:25:22.74\00:25:25.08
and he says I don't
like what I see you,
00:25:25.11\00:25:26.09
I'm gonna send
you to a specialist.
00:25:26.12\00:25:28.51
I think I will have
you go see Dr. Weaver,
00:25:29.66\00:25:31.81
so he come over to my office.
00:25:31.84\00:25:33.20
I look down your
throat and I said I don't like
00:25:34.13\00:25:37.22
what I see either it's
looks like a bad cancer
00:25:37.25\00:25:40.31
you got there, let me biopsy it.
00:25:40.34\00:25:43.81
We will get a report
for you and let you know
00:25:45.28\00:25:46.81
in a couple days what it shows,
00:25:46.84\00:25:48.08
not a very pleasant
situation I told the patient
00:25:51.39\00:25:54.52
that today. Report comes back,
00:25:54.55\00:26:00.55
this is a rare kind
of tumor it's a bad one.
00:26:02.49\00:26:04.51
Up till now it's been
a hundred percent lethal
00:26:06.28\00:26:08.56
but there is a new
treatment just came out
00:26:08.60\00:26:10.85
for you. It's kind of expensive,
00:26:10.88\00:26:15.25
it will cost you million
dollars, would you pay it.
00:26:18.89\00:26:24.42
Yeah, I'll be
tickle to death if you have
00:26:27.49\00:26:29.06
the million dollars
with what you've get it.
00:26:29.09\00:26:30.63
I don't know what
are you seeing whether
00:26:33.25\00:26:35.48
I have taken you
or not. But you can do
00:26:35.52\00:26:37.68
something for yourself
in this clinic that could
00:26:37.72\00:26:39.94
be worth more to you
than a million dollars.
00:26:39.98\00:26:42.17
I have got patients
in the hospital today
00:26:44.59\00:26:46.70
that will give me
everything they could
00:26:48.63\00:26:50.76
come up with if I
could guarantee them,
00:26:50.79\00:26:52.89
they will not die
with that cancer some of
00:26:53.82\00:26:55.45
them will. In practically
all the cancers with which
00:26:55.49\00:27:00.57
I deal are
cigarette in these cancers.
00:27:00.60\00:27:03.01
I was talking with
one of my interims today.
00:27:05.58\00:27:08.84
Just been a home
and he said it was the
00:27:08.87\00:27:14.87
first Christmas without mom,
00:27:15.76\00:27:17.06
his dad is a
physician. He said when she died
00:27:17.10\00:27:22.13
from lung cancer.
So I've tried for years
00:27:22.16\00:27:27.02
to get her stop
smoking, said it was a lonely
00:27:27.06\00:27:31.82
Christmas, and that's
pathetic don't you think
00:27:31.86\00:27:36.59
and I run into a lot of travel,
00:27:36.62\00:27:38.49
you will be preaching sometime
00:27:38.53\00:27:40.33
would you put up
that will you because
00:27:40.37\00:27:43.58
I mean it's sort
of sad. When you stop
00:27:43.61\00:27:46.56
and think that
people will get diseases
00:27:46.59\00:27:49.51
that could easily be prevented
00:27:49.54\00:27:52.60
by making appropriate decisions.
00:27:52.63\00:27:55.62
Maybe one day
patient says doctor you got
00:27:55.66\00:27:58.85
to get me out of this
hospital for two weeks,
00:27:58.88\00:28:02.04
give me IVs, give me
chemotherapy do anything
00:28:04.12\00:28:06.57
for me but just give
me out of here two weeks,
00:28:06.60\00:28:09.10
if I have to come
back then and die okay but
00:28:09.14\00:28:11.57
I got to have two
weeks. I said that's a peculiar
00:28:11.61\00:28:13.79
request, why is
that? And my only daughter,
00:28:13.82\00:28:17.10
my great love is
getting married and I got to
00:28:19.29\00:28:23.47
go to that wedding. I
will cancel the wedding
00:28:23.51\00:28:27.07
on how he is feeling.
I mean that's paradox.
00:28:27.10\00:28:31.04
You can do something
for yourself in this clinic
00:28:31.07\00:28:34.29
that even a million
dollars might not be able
00:28:34.33\00:28:37.52
to buy for you, are
you listening to me,
00:28:37.55\00:28:41.14
and only you can
do that for yourself.
00:28:41.17\00:28:44.73
Now, you wanted to
stop smoking for a longtime,
00:28:47.95\00:28:50.76
haven't you? Now,
we've got everything lined up
00:28:50.80\00:28:53.58
here reduction in a row alright.
00:28:53.61\00:28:56.36
All we've got to
do is make it work.
00:28:57.75\00:29:00.72
How many here find
the cigarette habit
00:29:02.68\00:29:04.38
too expensive,
let me see your hand.
00:29:04.41\00:29:06.04
I really feel so sad you
know I pull up to gas station
00:29:06.08\00:29:12.08
and I go in there
and to pay for my gas and
00:29:14.51\00:29:17.13
here comes some
person and he says give me
00:29:17.16\00:29:19.75
three packs of cigarettes
and 2 dollars worth of gas.
00:29:20.42\00:29:22.39
That's not a joke I
heard that this morning when
00:29:34.91\00:29:38.25
I brought gas, and
I felt a lot of pathos
00:29:38.28\00:29:42.56
for the poor fellow
that had to take that money
00:29:42.60\00:29:46.50
and put it in his
cigarette that ruined his life
00:29:46.54\00:29:49.52
when he couldn't just
put it in his gas tank
00:29:49.56\00:29:51.89
and wouldn't have to
comeback for two days,
00:29:51.92\00:29:53.81
I mean it look sick
for yourself when you stop
00:29:53.85\00:29:55.71
to think about I
mean it's, it's sad
00:29:55.74\00:29:59.38
yeah it cost you too much money.
00:29:59.41\00:30:03.02
How many of you would
like to be rid of the health
00:30:05.81\00:30:08.77
risk of smoke let me
see your hand, it look good,
00:30:08.81\00:30:12.08
how many would like to
get, so people would say
00:30:12.11\00:30:15.35
wouldn't say to them
you're gonna get this
00:30:15.38\00:30:16.78
thinking somebody
where you going to,
00:30:16.81\00:30:18.47
would you like to gonna do that.
00:30:18.50\00:30:21.99
How many of you
smokers would like to kiss your
00:30:25.15\00:30:27.30
non-smoking spouse
without them having the kiss
00:30:27.33\00:30:33.33
last years birds nest.
Yeah, well are you ready
00:30:34.79\00:30:40.71
to do it? Yes, have you
brought your cigarettes?
00:30:40.75\00:30:46.64
Yeah, have you brought
all those ashes and buds
00:30:47.96\00:30:49.69

rid of? Take a smell of those
00:30:49.73\00:30:52.72
things before
yeah now just let me,
00:30:52.75\00:30:55.75
let me have your
attention a minute.
00:30:55.78\00:30:58.75
So, I can explain to
you how we're gonna do this.
00:31:00.50\00:31:02.42
I have back
here a big trash can.
00:31:04.58\00:31:10.58
Now, now listen
carefully we have a big group
00:31:18.60\00:31:23.16

wanna do this as efficiently
00:31:27.73\00:31:32.12

what we're going to do.
00:31:32.15\00:31:35.59
We're gonna start
with these outside rows
00:31:35.62\00:31:39.03

Wow, my only fear is
how do you get a toxic
00:32:58.50\00:33:04.50
dumping permit? I
don't know what land field
00:33:09.50\00:33:15.50

have to call in what is it
00:33:22.87\00:33:26.15
the Environmental
Protection Agency or something,
00:33:26.19\00:33:29.44
this really stinks up
here ladies and gentlemen.
00:33:30.34\00:33:32.42

well, but that's bad well
00:33:34.09\00:33:37.43

00:33:44.00\00:33:46.41
anybody are little
nervous about it all.
00:33:47.57\00:33:50.13
No, well it's like
getting rid of an old girlfriend
00:33:57.06\00:34:00.96
that was out to murdering you.
00:34:00.99\00:34:02.32
Yep, you love being
free from smoking even
00:34:10.55\00:34:16.55
for the last few
minutes, yeah we're on our way
00:34:16.62\00:34:21.55
and may not be easy
over the next few days
00:34:22.93\00:34:24.37
or we're gonna see
it through it, okay.
00:34:25.37\00:34:26.76
We're gonna be every
night and we can help those
00:34:27.91\00:34:30.45
that are having problems,
I've got several helpers
00:34:30.49\00:34:33.00
here people who have
been through it before
00:34:33.03\00:34:34.68
they understand what's
going on and they will try
00:34:35.88\00:34:39.78
to give you the help
you need okay. Let's just
00:34:39.82\00:34:43.43
open our booklets
here a bit and talk about
00:34:43.46\00:34:46.81
a few things. Well,
you can see the first page
00:34:46.84\00:34:49.68
of the book of booklet
is the property of Lagos
00:34:49.72\00:34:52.53
you know who that
is, it's now yours.
00:34:52.56\00:34:55.30
Turn to the next
page where it says people
00:34:56.77\00:35:00.29
I can call for help? I
would suggest that each
00:35:00.32\00:35:05.80
of you chose someone
between now and the time
00:35:05.84\00:35:11.29
you go to bed,
who was a non-smoker,
00:35:11.32\00:35:13.33
who can be your support person,
00:35:14.62\00:35:16.06
someone who understands
you, someone who will
00:35:16.10\00:35:18.52
not pamper you, I
suggest that not be your
00:35:18.56\00:35:20.91
spouse, you are too
used to make excuses to them.
00:35:20.95\00:35:23.56
But chose someone and
call that person and tell
00:35:24.81\00:35:27.01
them you're going
to be my support person
00:35:27.04\00:35:29.92
you understand and you
write their phone numbers
00:35:29.96\00:35:32.65
there and work phone
and everything and you keep
00:35:32.68\00:35:35.88
touch with them
everyday. I want these to be
00:35:35.92\00:35:38.99
someone who will
encourage you not discourage
00:35:39.03\00:35:42.07
you alright now we turn
pass the few things here.
00:35:43.65\00:35:46.86
Page 1 where it says my choice,
00:35:48.11\00:35:50.21
I'm choosing of my
own free will to attend
00:35:51.29\00:35:53.80
the breathe free plan
to stop smoking and what
00:35:53.84\00:35:57.71
it say there. I love
being free from smoking
00:35:57.75\00:36:01.59
and this is sort
of a signature there
00:36:01.62\00:36:03.43
for yourself. You
know what you've done.
00:36:03.46\00:36:05.24
I will skip the next
few pages there because
00:36:06.79\00:36:09.05
you won't need
those smoking patterns.
00:36:09.08\00:36:10.70
And we come to the
section called 16 weapons
00:36:11.86\00:36:15.86
to kill an urge. And no
urge can survive all 16 steps
00:36:15.90\00:36:21.90
and in addition to
this listen carefully.
00:36:26.75\00:36:29.06
I'm going to give
you a secret weapon that
00:36:30.48\00:36:34.85
isn't even in the
book. And it works great;
00:36:34.89\00:36:39.23
right now I should also
tell you that I'm starting
00:36:41.86\00:36:44.87
on page 20 for those
of you who have completed
00:36:44.91\00:36:47.89
the smoker's type questionnaire.
00:36:47.92\00:36:51.36
That there are different
techniques for different
00:36:52.51\00:36:55.51
type smokers and few
are the stimulation type,
00:36:55.54\00:36:58.51
there are
suggestions on page 20,
00:36:58.54\00:37:00.37
if you're the handling
type there is a suggestion
00:37:00.41\00:37:03.77
on page 21 etcetera.
Okay, so there is special
00:37:03.81\00:37:06.80
help there then you
know what type of smoker
00:37:06.83\00:37:09.70
you are. Now, let's
turn back to page 7,
00:37:09.73\00:37:12.53
and take a little look
at some of these issues,
00:37:12.57\00:37:14.67
now when you have an
urge to have a cigarette
00:37:18.51\00:37:20.78
you think you will
have some of those. Yeah,
00:37:20.82\00:37:23.70
you will have a lot of
those so we got to knock
00:37:23.73\00:37:26.57
them down right,
we're gonna knock them down.
00:37:26.60\00:37:29.41
I'm gonna suggest
that when the urge comes up
00:37:30.79\00:37:33.69
you start with number
15 and what do you say,
00:37:33.73\00:37:36.60
I love being free
from smoking. Even
00:37:38.37\00:37:40.34
though I feel this
urge I'm not gonna go back
00:37:41.07\00:37:42.65
you know I made
this decision I love it,
00:37:42.68\00:37:46.18
what was that a good
idea to have a cigarette
00:37:47.54\00:37:50.29
or bad idea, bad idea
and that's what we need
00:37:50.32\00:37:53.00
the secret weapon. And
that's the only worse thing
00:37:53.04\00:37:56.53
we got and when you
came in we gave you your
00:37:56.56\00:38:00.89
door price, have you ever been,
00:38:00.92\00:38:03.01
so when you have that
urge to have a cigarette
00:38:04.98\00:38:09.35
you see. What do you
say I love being free
00:38:09.39\00:38:13.69
from smoking, but you
know that was a bad idea.
00:38:13.73\00:38:16.01
You got it, you give
that little thing a good big
00:38:25.82\00:38:28.83
snap on your wrist
like that you know.
00:38:28.86\00:38:31.29
Now, if the urge is
coming too fast you put
00:38:33.77\00:38:37.61
one on each wrist,
maybe one on the foot or a
00:38:37.65\00:38:42.02
big heavy duty job on
your neck but if you'll do
00:38:42.05\00:38:46.39
it honestly it
works. Because you see,
00:38:46.42\00:38:50.20
you have puzzle
thoughts with the idea with
00:38:50.24\00:38:52.40
cigarette right and we
would like to make that
00:38:52.43\00:38:54.52
in unpleasant thought.
And that work psychologically
00:38:54.56\00:38:57.57
drive down the urges
you see pretty soon the urge
00:38:57.61\00:39:00.46
will start to come up, I
don't want the cigarette,
00:39:00.49\00:39:03.31
I know I don't wanna cigarette.
00:39:03.34\00:39:04.80
I wouldn't even think
of a cigarette and if you
00:39:04.84\00:39:09.52
would do that, excuse me,
if you do that efficiently
00:39:09.56\00:39:12.66
it will drive down
the urge. Some people have
00:39:14.99\00:39:17.64
told me that was
the most helpful thing
00:39:17.67\00:39:19.27
in the whole program.
I was driving down the
00:39:19.31\00:39:21.73
three way one day
and a fellow behind me
00:39:21.77\00:39:24.12
was honking his horn,
he kept honking his horn
00:39:24.16\00:39:26.89
and he kept honking
his horn and I wonder
00:39:26.92\00:39:28.68
what was I doing
and you know what three
00:39:28.71\00:39:30.44
way shootings
and all those things,
00:39:30.47\00:39:31.77
I've been getting
little, little uneasy and after
00:39:31.81\00:39:35.41
while he went pass
me and when he went pass
00:39:35.44\00:39:38.68
me he held up his
hand and I saw a big
00:39:38.71\00:39:41.31
rubber band around his
wrist and he went like this.
00:39:41.35\00:39:43.64
And I recognize him; he
was actually the producer
00:39:47.85\00:39:51.55
for one of the
TV stations in town,
00:39:51.58\00:39:54.01
who had been to a
recent stop smoking program.
00:39:54.81\00:39:56.81
And I knew he was,
so I gave him a call and
00:39:58.02\00:40:00.39
I said man you're gonna
be little careful with that
00:40:00.43\00:40:02.11
horn on the
free-way you scared somebody.
00:40:02.14\00:40:04.03
Oh, he said I wanted
you to see my rubber band
00:40:04.72\00:40:07.09
he said that's the
thing you got me through.
00:40:07.13\00:40:09.47
He said when I die, I am
gonna be buried with that
00:40:11.83\00:40:14.45
thing on my wrist
and when they dig up my
00:40:14.48\00:40:17.61
skeleton they're
gonna say I wonder what the
00:40:17.65\00:40:20.24
culture of significance
of this rubber band,
00:40:20.27\00:40:22.83
because that was
the best part of the
00:40:22.86\00:40:27.78
whole thing if you use it
effectively it will work but
00:40:27.82\00:40:31.92
it only works if
you, if you work it.
00:40:31.95\00:40:36.71
So when you have an
urge what you do you say
00:40:37.80\00:40:41.82
I love being free
from smoking and then give
00:40:41.86\00:40:45.07
yourself a good
track. Then try some of these
00:40:45.10\00:40:48.24
other things drink a
glass of water or fruit juice
00:40:48.28\00:40:51.29
you find in our book
it's suggest as six to eight
00:40:51.33\00:40:55.20
glasses of water a
day. You heard what I said
00:40:55.24\00:40:58.81
this is six to eight,
don't be like one lady
00:40:58.84\00:41:01.48
she came back and she
said doctor I can only
00:41:01.52\00:41:05.61
get in 47. I said
what she said you said68
00:41:05.65\00:41:09.67
didn't you. Six to
eight, you got it six to eight
00:41:09.71\00:41:15.71
glasses of water.
Take some big deep breath
00:41:18.16\00:41:24.16
and practice it right there.
00:41:27.12\00:41:29.60
Smokers kind of
forget they have lungs
00:41:31.24\00:41:32.94
if they don't smoke or
just take some big deep
00:41:32.98\00:41:36.25
breath people find
that very relaxing.
00:41:36.28\00:41:39.31
One of the most important
things is when the urge
00:41:41.31\00:41:43.35
comes stop, split,
get up, go for a walk,
00:41:43.38\00:41:48.85
if you can go
outside go outside,
00:41:48.88\00:41:50.51
spin around a
little bit remember this,
00:41:50.55\00:41:52.54
the urge to have a
cigarette comes in waves.
00:41:52.58\00:41:56.39
Now some of you are
going to think you are
00:41:58.50\00:42:00.19
on the beach
during hurricane you go,
00:42:00.22\00:42:01.94
I mean the way is gonna
be kind of high and they
00:42:05.18\00:42:08.62
are gonna be kind of
freak little and kind
00:42:08.65\00:42:11.57
of inundated did you
ever go swimming in the ocean,
00:42:11.61\00:42:15.01
you know you are
stand there kind of hip deep
00:42:16.84\00:42:18.63
in water and all of
the sudden there is big
00:42:18.66\00:42:20.85
swell comes in and
the ground disappears
00:42:20.89\00:42:22.95
from underneath you
and you starts splashing
00:42:22.99\00:42:24.61
around you think
you're gonna be carried out
00:42:24.65\00:42:26.24
to the sea, there are
sharks that are gonna get,
00:42:26.28\00:42:27.84
you wonder what's
happening and you really
00:42:27.87\00:42:30.99
alarmed and then all
of a sudden splash goes
00:42:31.03\00:42:33.76
by and then you are
hip deep in water again
00:42:33.80\00:42:36.32
have you ever had that
experience and the same
00:42:36.35\00:42:38.37
thing will happen
now that you go and play
00:42:38.40\00:42:40.35
and you like ha, ha
that's the time of split get
00:42:40.39\00:42:43.81
out get a drink of water,
get a drink of fruit juice,
00:42:43.85\00:42:46.47
take some deep breath,
call your support buddy
00:42:46.50\00:42:49.68
you see, you got all those
00:42:49.71\00:42:51.49
things there
stretching exercises
00:42:51.53\00:42:53.51
call ascending, count
backward starting from 100
00:42:53.55\00:42:56.15
that will take you a
while, work on a hobby,
00:42:56.18\00:42:58.75
brush your teeth
with mint toothpaste,
00:42:58.78\00:43:00.67
take a warm shower
followed by a cool shower
00:43:00.71\00:43:03.27
then rub the body
gently with the wash cloth
00:43:03.30\00:43:05.38
etcetera, lot of
things and you can read them,
00:43:05.41\00:43:07.42
we talk up little bit
more about them tomorrow night.
00:43:07.46\00:43:09.85
If you do all of those
things before you smoke
00:43:11.85\00:43:13.36
you know what the
urge will be gone and you
00:43:13.40\00:43:14.84
will say hmm got rid of
that one, if you didn't go
00:43:14.88\00:43:17.96
away pop this one two or
three more times and that
00:43:18.00\00:43:21.39
will get rid of it.
Alright let's turn to page 30
00:43:21.42\00:43:27.42
of your booklet, make it
31 and we will talk about
00:43:29.29\00:43:35.29
the menu plan okay.
Now the member we suggest
00:43:37.13\00:43:41.70
to you to stock up on
fruit and fruit juices,
00:43:41.74\00:43:46.28
and that's good thing
to know because now you
00:43:47.61\00:43:49.85
are gonna go on
either and unless your doctor
00:43:49.89\00:43:52.06
asked you especially on a
special diet for ulcerative
00:43:52.10\00:43:55.03
colitis, diabetes or
something of that major
00:43:55.06\00:43:57.51
hyperglycemia for
the next 24 hours I want
00:43:58.37\00:44:02.38
you to do have nothing
but fruit and fruit juices,
00:44:02.42\00:44:05.69
particularly the fruit
juices. I didn't set 24
00:44:06.23\00:44:11.37
days; I said 24 hours,
24 yes have what and what.
00:44:13.93\00:44:19.93
The fact is that's all
you get. Now, I know one lady
00:44:25.90\00:44:31.47
came in one night, I
think she had all that fruit
00:44:31.50\00:44:34.88
juices and water I
heard her walk back and ear is
00:44:34.91\00:44:39.90
slashing her. In fact if
someone said to me doctor
00:44:39.93\00:44:44.89
now I know what
they mean when they
00:44:46.34\00:44:48.74
talk about the Ruley
in the morning, because
00:44:48.78\00:44:50.80
actually the
nicotine is excreted by your
00:44:54.77\00:44:59.17
kidneys and we're
gonna flush the system
00:44:59.20\00:45:02.42
it actually takes
about three days to get it
00:45:02.45\00:45:05.48
out of it, and while
you getting that out you're
00:45:05.52\00:45:08.37
gonna go through the
nicotine withdrawal measures,
00:45:08.40\00:45:10.81
but if you drink these
fruit juices it will make it
00:45:10.85\00:45:13.23
lot better and a lot
easier particularly for
00:45:13.26\00:45:16.75
the first day. So the
first day what do we get
00:45:16.78\00:45:20.24
fruit juice and if you
have to break over have some
00:45:21.64\00:45:24.80
fruit, okay. Now we
will give you more detail
00:45:24.83\00:45:29.98
in later now there is something
00:45:30.01\00:45:31.21
that you can't have.
Number one is the alcoholic
00:45:31.25\00:45:37.25
beverages, bash that
stuff whether it beer,
00:45:37.36\00:45:42.24
wine whiskey, brandy
or whatever it is put
00:45:42.27\00:45:47.08
it away and if you can't
put it away for a few days
00:45:47.12\00:45:50.26
you are at the wrong program.
00:45:50.29\00:45:51.70
No, I am serious if
you are a chronic alcoholic
00:45:57.53\00:46:00.76
and you can't leave
off alcohol you have a
00:46:00.79\00:46:02.55
problem you need to
take care of first at
00:46:02.58\00:46:04.31
the alcoholism. It's
very difficult to stop smoking
00:46:05.61\00:46:08.43
while you continued drinking.
00:46:08.46\00:46:09.70
So check in with
your friendly Alcoholics
00:46:11.17\00:46:13.25
Anonymous or some
other group such as that
00:46:13.28\00:46:15.33
but leave the alcohol
off what is it seven crown,
00:46:16.29\00:46:19.72
three roses, two old
crowns all of that stuff beer,
00:46:19.75\00:46:23.15
wine, whisky, brandy
put it away smash it,
00:46:23.18\00:46:27.32
smash it highly
those. Do you think alcohol
00:46:27.35\00:46:31.46
is gonna give
you more will power,
00:46:31.49\00:46:32.74
is gonna drive the will
power down while it drives
00:46:34.80\00:46:37.55
the urge up and pretty
soon they're gonna cross
00:46:37.59\00:46:40.50
and then you will be
smoking. Now you came here
00:46:40.53\00:46:43.37
to quit didn't you. And
all of you folks are feelings
00:46:43.41\00:46:46.48
so smugged about
the alcohol and now
00:46:46.51\00:46:49.32
we're gonna start
on you. The same thing
00:46:49.35\00:46:52.76
is true of all
caffeinated beverages.
00:46:52.80\00:46:56.18
And you know what
those are coffee, tea, Coke,
00:46:58.63\00:47:04.63
Pepsi, Mountain
Dew, got your pepper tab
00:47:06.50\00:47:11.35
and I don't know how
many others but with all
00:47:11.39\00:47:13.96
the fruit juice and
water you are drinking you
00:47:14.00\00:47:16.94
know what you don't
need any other beverages.
00:47:16.97\00:47:19.88
Now I will tell you
what you say doctor I came
00:47:20.16\00:47:24.59
to stop smoking, I didn't
thought I will be quitting
00:47:24.63\00:47:26.99
coffee and alcohol.
There is one reason why
00:47:27.02\00:47:31.38
our program works and
it's because everything
00:47:31.41\00:47:35.14
in this program has
been tested, I should tell
00:47:35.17\00:47:38.16
you this briefly a
little bit about this program.
00:47:38.19\00:47:41.15
It really started as a
five day plan several years
00:47:42.34\00:47:44.61
ago by a Seventh-Day
Adventist pastor and a
00:47:44.64\00:47:47.95
physician it's been
redone and then I worked it
00:47:47.98\00:47:51.26
over and there is
millions of people who have quit
00:47:52.76\00:47:54.45
through this
program, don't you want to be
00:47:54.48\00:47:57.34
the next one. Yeah you
want to be the next one
00:47:57.37\00:48:00.20
and that means if you
are really want to succeed
00:48:01.13\00:48:03.34
get on the program.
How many have tried their
00:48:03.38\00:48:06.82
own program before?
Basically it didn't work,
00:48:06.85\00:48:10.26
don't you think
you can try our program
00:48:13.94\00:48:15.17
for the next five days
and see if it works for you.
00:48:15.21\00:48:19.63
I'll tell you, I've
had people come to three
00:48:20.97\00:48:22.76
programs before they decide
to give up their caffeine,
00:48:22.80\00:48:24.67
and they came back
on the third program
00:48:26.66\00:48:28.96
and they said you
know I've been here twice
00:48:29.00\00:48:31.23
before doctor it didn't
work you think it will work
00:48:31.27\00:48:33.58
this time, I said you
plan to do anything different
00:48:33.61\00:48:35.89
this time, I think I
might give up my coffee.
00:48:35.92\00:48:38.47
Yes, why not do at
this time ha, because let me
00:48:41.28\00:48:45.39
share this moment we
have discovered that the
00:48:45.42\00:48:49.50
biggest
correlation between success
00:48:49.53\00:48:51.75
and failure is that
you give up your caffeine,
00:48:51.79\00:48:53.90
of all the
things we ask you to do,
00:48:54.77\00:48:56.48
this will more likely
determine whether you are
00:48:57.60\00:48:59.73
going to make it or
not, you know it as well as
00:48:59.77\00:49:01.87
I do are you kidding?
Isn't it moonlight three roses
00:49:02.48\00:49:06.08
coffee and a
failure at right, yeah,
00:49:06.94\00:49:11.44
they go together, they
would like more than me
00:49:12.46\00:49:15.38
and when you have
that cup of coffee you just
00:49:17.25\00:49:19.14
gonna drive your
nuts. I have had people walk
00:49:19.18\00:49:21.26
into the bed off for
four or five days they tell
00:49:21.29\00:49:23.51
me doctor I came to
clinic not because I need
00:49:23.55\00:49:25.74
to smoke but
because I am going nuts
00:49:25.77\00:49:27.90
I am twisted in a
breeze, and I said well you
00:49:27.94\00:49:30.07
didn't give up
your caffeine did you.
00:49:30.10\00:49:31.38
Oh I didn't know was
I suppose to give it up,
00:49:32.03\00:49:33.51
I said well if you twist
in the breeze obviously you
00:49:34.65\00:49:36.49
didn't give it up. You
don't want to twist the
00:49:36.52\00:49:39.69
breeze right, you want
to go through it and it
00:49:39.72\00:49:42.21
has another advantage
you may sleep three days.
00:49:42.25\00:49:44.71
Back years, there is one
lady I was talking through
00:49:51.31\00:49:53.09
on the second day and I
said how is it going she
00:49:53.98\00:49:56.19
said I only had a
few red dimes I said when
00:49:56.22\00:49:57.73
was that she
said when I woke up.
00:49:57.76\00:49:59.19
Well you stick with us
and we'll see you through it.
00:50:08.66\00:50:10.97
No one said it
would be easy tomorrow.
00:50:12.28\00:50:13.37
Did we? What you hear
right you plan to come
00:50:13.41\00:50:18.19
back right. I am going
to make a contract with
00:50:18.23\00:50:21.66
you with my helper
pass out that contract.
00:50:21.69\00:50:25.05
Right now and quickly.
I will tell you while they
00:50:25.09\00:50:28.43
are passing out my
part of the contract. Be the
00:50:28.47\00:50:31.78
good Lord willing.
I'll be here Tuesday night,
00:50:33.50\00:50:38.38
Wednesday night, Thursday night,
00:50:38.41\00:50:40.70
Friday night and
next. Could I one of those
00:50:40.74\00:50:43.82
two floyd. I might
need one, thank you.
00:50:43.85\00:50:46.90
And next Monday
night I have given you this
00:50:49.57\00:50:55.57
piece of my life
okay because I care.
00:50:55.71\00:50:59.04
I asked to do the
same thing. And we're gonna
00:51:00.48\00:51:03.51
ask you to see if you
will sign this agreement
00:51:03.54\00:51:06.54
with me as soon as you
have this piece of paper.
00:51:07.40\00:51:10.06
May be while we
are waiting on it,
00:51:11.22\00:51:14.20
I can start talking
and you can check them
00:51:15.41\00:51:18.63
as you are able to. Now
if you are willing to agree
00:51:19.88\00:51:22.10
to the things that I
asked you to agree to,
00:51:22.13\00:51:25.16
you just put a little X
there or little check okay.
00:51:25.20\00:51:28.21
I agree to attend all
sessions of the program
00:51:30.29\00:51:32.77
if you are willing
to do that put an X.
00:51:32.80\00:51:34.58
That's all remaining sessions.
00:51:38.02\00:51:39.35
I agree to complete
all the class assignments.
00:51:41.25\00:51:43.38
You got a couple tonight.
You're willing to cooperate
00:51:43.42\00:51:46.89
by that put a little 'X' there.
00:51:46.92\00:51:48.79
I agree to keep in
daily telephone contact
00:51:50.56\00:51:53.26
with my support person. I
agree to follow a lifestyle
00:51:53.30\00:51:59.30
that will help me
remain a nonsmoker.
00:52:00.97\00:52:02.73
Help me become one
and remain a nonsmoker,
00:52:02.77\00:52:05.03
that means
following your suggest,
00:52:05.06\00:52:06.90
some of the
suggestions I just gave you.
00:52:06.94\00:52:08.54
You're willing to do
that. If you're not already
00:52:09.77\00:52:12.74
stopped, are you
willing to quit cold turkey now.
00:52:12.77\00:52:15.71
Put an X there. If
you're willing to respond to
00:52:16.89\00:52:22.70
a short
questionnaire or phone call,
00:52:22.73\00:52:24.59
so that we can continue
to evaluate these programs,
00:52:25.51\00:52:28.00
please check it. And if
you are willing to accept
00:52:28.84\00:52:33.11
at least one opportunity
after this clinic is over.
00:52:33.14\00:52:37.38
You help someone
else in the community
00:52:39.39\00:52:43.40
with the Stop Smoking
Program or something else,
00:52:43.44\00:52:45.49
you check that, okay and
then you print your name,
00:52:46.76\00:52:52.39
you sign it, you
date it and you give us
00:52:54.67\00:53:00.67
your data info.
Now let me say this,
00:53:01.20\00:53:07.20
what is our goal
between now and tomorrow night
00:53:07.67\00:53:11.89
as far as cigarettes,
none. May I also tell you
00:53:11.92\00:53:15.75
it's easier to have no
cigarettes then it is 1, 2,
00:53:15.78\00:53:19.58
or 3 cigarettes.
Let's go back to my candy
00:53:19.61\00:53:22.48
illustration, would it
be easier to have one piece
00:53:22.52\00:53:25.67
of candy from that
box or no pieces of candy
00:53:25.70\00:53:28.14
from that candy box.
It's the same way with
00:53:28.17\00:53:30.54
cigarettes. When you
take that cigarette it turns
00:53:30.58\00:53:33.76
you back into a smoker again.
00:53:33.79\00:53:35.56
And then you got to
withdraw from that one too
00:53:36.70\00:53:38.65
in addition to one
you are withdrawing
00:53:38.68\00:53:40.48
from before and to keep.
It's a little bit like going
00:53:40.52\00:53:44.13
into labor and not
delivering the baby.
00:53:44.16\00:53:45.90
It isn't very pleasant.
Yeah, so the goal is what?
00:53:49.03\00:53:55.03
No cigarette. Now if
you happen to slip with your
00:53:57.84\00:54:02.30
abandon ship? No
come on back anyway.
00:54:02.33\00:54:05.80
Listen we guaranteed
to get you off one way
00:54:06.95\00:54:09.08
or another, we never
live in Stop Smoking Program
00:54:09.12\00:54:11.81
for people can make
it in the other way.
00:54:11.84\00:54:13.47
A health care but I
tell you about that later,
00:54:14.99\00:54:16.83
but you are here,
is somebody already
00:54:18.18\00:54:19.50
volunteered. Well
listen here our job is to get
00:54:19.54\00:54:25.54
you off now but in any
case don't abandon it alright,
00:54:27.05\00:54:31.33
don't abandon it. Come
back even if you have to sit
00:54:32.58\00:54:34.68
on the floor,
wasn't that bad was it.
00:54:34.71\00:54:36.27
No you think it's worth
it. I'll tell you better to sit
00:54:37.23\00:54:40.86
on a floor though lie
on the operating table.
00:54:40.89\00:54:42.70
There are two of them
scheduled for tomorrow.
00:54:46.89\00:54:48.39
Okay, how are you
feeling, you are feeling good.
00:54:49.74\00:54:55.20
You are loved
being free from smoking,
00:54:55.23\00:54:56.57
I love being free from smoking.
00:54:57.73\00:55:01.83
Now we'll be back
here tomorrow night, right.
00:55:03.64\00:55:05.79
In our usual place and
we're gonna have a lot of fun.
00:55:06.96\00:55:09.70
We may feel
miserable, but we will still be
00:55:11.04\00:55:14.18
having fun. God
bless you and good night.
00:55:14.21\00:55:17.32
