Addiction Is A Loss Of Self And Cigarettes Are Your Ruler

At the core, addiction to cigarettes is a one sided battle. If you are truly addicted to cigarettes then you are always needing that next cigarette. You find yourself sitting in your car, in your home, at work craving a cigarette. You are always craving a cigarette. Now tell me, how does it feel when you think of smoking this way? I probably makes you feel like crap, right? The thing is that it doesn’t have to be like this. You don’t have to always need more and more and more cigarettes. You don’t have to continuously harm your health. You don’t always have to looked down upon (unfortunately, non-smokers tend show less respect for their smoking couterparts…I don’t agree with this but it doesn’t change anything). Honestly, you don’t have to continue to smoke. Smoking is not a necessary part of what makes you, you.

You can stop smoking. And if you don’t think you can stop smoking then you never will stop smoking. This isn’t motivational garbage (well, it is supposed to motivational but it isn’t garbage), this is the truth. If you can’t convince yourself that you can quit smoking then how the hell do you believe your body to believe you can? If you aren’t committed to your decision from the beginning and you don’t believe and yourself then you are going to get smacked silly by your mind and body. First, your body is going to smack you silly when you start to feel the effects of physical withdrawal and you aren’t ready for it. And second, your mind is going to smack you silly when you are going to need to be mentally tough through the cravings and withdrawal.

This is just how it goes. If you can’t get yourself hyped up and see just how much you want to quit, then it isn’t worth attempting at all. A half-assed attempt at quitting smoking mine as well be smoking a pack because it sure as hell won’t get you anywhere. The best smoking aid, stop smoking program, whatever can’t get you to stop smoking if you aren’t truly committed yourself. So, if you want a good reason to quit then keep on reminding yourself that you are a slave to the cigarette because you really are if you are a smoker. Keep this thought in your mind, commit to quitting smoking, believe in yourself, and never look back. This is the way to quit smoking. Yes, it will be hard, very hard, but if you really want it then you can get it.
