If you want to make it easy on yourself when you quit, you need to change the way you think about smoking. If you think about it, smoking doesnt offer ANY benefits at all! When you realize this (really!), it makes it much easier for you to get rid of cigarettes forever without missing anything!
A lot of smokers dont yet see that cigarettes do nothing for them. Although certainly aware of the health risks, they believe cigarettes relax them or give them confidence.
They enjoy smoking.
But that sentiment is very misleading. You may enjoy a piece of chocolate cakebut would you panic if you ran out? Would you sneak outside into the bitter cold if you werent allowed to eat it indoors?
A more accurate statement would be that smokers smoke because they dont enjoy not smoking.
Can cigarettes really calm or lift your mood? Yes, they can. But they also create the restlessness they are trying to correct!
Cigarettes are poisonous. They bring you down. When you smoke a cigarette, it only partially alleviates the discomfort the last cigarette caused. In a way, smokers are always trying to get to the level they were at before they started smoking. It is a vicious cycle that leads nowhere but down.
How do non-smokers deal with stress? They just deal with it. They dont need an aid to calm them down. Smoking actually adds to stress. Its just another problem to worry about!
Changing your mindset is essential to quitting easily. You need to break through the brainwashing you have been exposed to.
The brainwashing consists of two parts:
The belief that smoking does something for you
The belief that quitting smoking is hard
Once your brainwashing has been eliminated and your beliefs have been changed, it is easy to look forward to getting rid of this drug.
Smoking can ONLY alleviate stress (or anything else) it itself causes. Dont give undue credit.
