If you want to quit smoking marijuana then I invite you to think of it as a challenge. This immediately should get you thinking of how to move from the back seat into the drivers seat of your life.

You see, in general, people smoke cigarettes, marijuana, drink alcohol, eat chocolate and overeat because they are trying to suppress and medicate a negative emotion like boredom, loneliness, stress and anxiety. On the other hand they are trying to bring in a positive feeling like confidence and relaxation. In some cases they are trying to give themselves something like love or nurturance. So the bad habit has a positive intention, that is it serves them in some way. More often than not they are trying to quieten their internal dialogue – that is quieten their mind.

Some smokers will claim that they have an addiction to the nicotine in tobacco or the THC in marijuana. On some level this could be true but then using the addiction model we could say that people could get addicted to any emotional state. For example, any activity which has a strong emotional component like surfing, dancing, sky diving and sex can be thought of as an addiction but is this useful?

If you think of yourself as having an addiction then does this put you in the back seat or the drivers seat of your mind? Using marijuana as an example, the smoker has to know when to light up. The joint doesn’t just light itself and jump into the mouth. The smoker is the one doing the smoking. They have to know when to smoke.

There will be some trigger – could be an external trigger like the sight of something or someone. Could be an internal trigger like a picture in the mind, a feeling or a thought. And this is where NLP excels. NLP gives us tools and techniques to help people get inside their mind and discover how it works such that you can change your mind and behaviour. NLP shows you how to get in to the drivers seat of your mind.

The most important thing about a NLP coaching session is to structure it carefully. What I learned from Richard Bandler many years ago was to gather just enough information to map out the structure of how the client does the process of whatever it is that they do – and then identify and make changes at key points to maximise the change with the least amount of time and work.
