You need to jump your track to unlearn "thinking like a smoker."
This is a learn as you go proposition. Acknowledge you've done something differently each time and you are on your way.
Not needing to find a place to smoke or feel like a second class citizen is quite emboldening.
Having money in your pocket you would not have had if you were still smoking is emboldening.
You really start to feel like you have some control of your life with this accomplishment taken to task but, it is you who have to keep control of the ball to move beyond smoking.
Being a smoker is like wearing dark glasses at night. Your perceptions have been altered but you aren't aware of it until it gets really dark and you can't see anything. (Is it going to take cancer or lung dysfunction to make the light bulb come on?) We would be fools to wait until we are past the point of no return.
Take off the glasses and come toward the light and we'll prepare you for anything and everything in sight.
