I tried so many things to quit, spending thousands of dollars on different programs, techniques, potions, patches, cold turkey and more… nothing seemed to stop those dreaded withdrawals.
That fight or flight feeling like if I didn’t get a cigarette, I was going to die!
I started smoking at a very early age, when my mind was still developing…I wanted to fit in, be part of the cool kids and that’s exactly what I did!
Before I knew it, I was smoking when I felt lonely, when I was bored, when I was hungry, when I was stressed, hell even when I was excited!
Now everything you now do revolves around cigarettes…going out with friends, catching a movie at the cinemas, dinner with your partner. Your whole life is controlled by when will I be able to have a cigarette, where can I sneak out to smoke, what if someone sees me…
It’s a never ending battle, a tug of war going on inside your mind!
The thought that this will kill me if I don’t stop doing it, your friends and family looking down on you and that constant war inside your mind.
My mind found so many ways to keep me smoking, even as a reward! “Oh you finished that task, have a cigarette”, “you earned a break, have a cigarette”, “you did that awesome thing, have a cigarette”.
Like many smokers, I smoked in the down times, the good times, the amazing times and well just the ordinary times.
All the while not really knowing why…
Until I discovered a way!
