I was astonished to discover that during this trip to the mountains, I was able to sit by the fire, do crosswords, read a book, and simply enjoy the fire. In my past visits when I was a smoker, I could not sit still – literally. Looking back, I pinpointed the fact that when I was a smoker, I was ALWAYS waiting, subconsciously, to have that next cigarette. You are never comfortable in your own skin when you are a smoker.
This is the REAL freedom – when you realize how much smoking controlled your life! This takes time to see clearly. But – it is SO worth the time it takes to unlearn this!
