Still Charlie Brown!

I first wrote about my alter personality back in 2013 and I still feel this way!

What I left out is this one:

“I got this! Yea, I hang out with my smoking friends in their man caves or on their smoke breaks. Yea, I have my secret stash because – FOR ME – it’s the way to succeed! Yes, I take an occasional puff – to remind me how much I don’t want to smoke!” But I’m different!

And it still doesn’t change the Science of Addiction!

 "Administration of a drug to an addict will cause re-establishment of chemical dependence upon the addictive substance."

YOU are unique! But Nicotine Addiction like all Addictions is very mundanely predictable.

The Law of Addiction is not an opinion. It’s how the Human Brain works when exposed to an Addictive substance.

The case of Nicotine Addiction is well researched. Scientists know exactly what happens to our Brains when we Addicts are exposed to even one Sickerette, even Second and Third Hand Smoke!

Nicotine Recovery also has been well researched. We know what works and we know what doesn’t work in our behavior. We understand the Tobacco Addiction Cycle. It’s not unique – it’s human vs. chemical.

I’m not asking folks to believe what I believe, to think as I think, to do what I do because I said so!

Look at the Facts!

Then decide for yourself! I only ask you to engage the Executive Control in your Brain which can only work when you are not being stimulated by Nicotine.

I believe in YOU! I will never give up on YOU!

You can BecomeanEX - Addiction FREE!

But you can’t fool Mother Nature!
