We used smoking to deal with emotions and reward for tasks.
Many new quitters will say they love smoking but most will realize they don't after some education and the understanding that nicotine creates the stress we are trying to relieve because of the need for more nicotine.
But can you let go of the thought of loving smoking?
I have. I don't hate smoking. I never hated smoking. Hating smoking is not required to quit smoking. It's just neutralized. It's unconsiderable because of what I know about it.You don't have to get run over a bus twice to know it hurts. You don't have to get COPD or have a heart attack and treat them both as unheeded clues that smoking just may have played a role, do you?
What about you? Is some inner part of your thought process clinging to the idea of loving smoking? Or to the one cigarette that is only a mirage?
