Share your quitting journey
On the third evening of my quit, I was standing in the patio of a friends house and his brother walked into the patio from the garage smoking a cigarette when it hit me. "smoking is just a decision. I don't have to act on the urge to smoke. It's a choice."
The simplicity of it made me laugh. Laughing caused a dopamine release.
Every time I got the urge to smoke after that time, I laughed.
After a week of this, I actually thought of laughing in place of smoking.
If you will step back when you get the urge to smoke and look at your thoughts objectively like an outsider
you can consider what drives smoking and begin to separate yourself from it.
Only you can make you smoke and you have the choice not to.
Smoking isn't natural or we would have been born with an ashtray in our opposing hand and stainless steel lungs.
