I've been following a couple of threads in here, and started wondering about this website's NAME....BECOMEANEX. There is an addage..."Once an junkie, always a junkie". Here, it's "Once an addict, always an addict".
I believe that smoking is an addiction, not to nicotine, but to smoking...the ACT. How is gambling an addiction when there is no drug? How is pornography an addiction when there is no drug? Smokers are slaves to the act of smoking, and nothing more. When you realize THAT, you have taken your first step to freedom.
Are you people addicts or EXaddicts? Why are you counting days and minutes since your last cigarette? And counting dollars and cents saved by not smoking?
I would deduct that you are still addicts...or junkies! When will you become an EX?
Until that time comes when you completely FORGET about it, you are still a slave to the devil.
I became an EX the moment I put them down in 1974. The only reason I still remember that is because it became real to me four days later, on a Sunday. I still don't remember which Sunday.
Nearly all of the folks in here seem to be doing this EX thing on their own. I don't think of myself as an EX, but rather, a NON. I came to realize that I am a treasure, found by the Living God, in a garbage heap. He bought the garbage heap with all He had, just because I was there. WOW! If He would do that, He would certainly deliver me from a stupid weed. And, He certainly did. All praise to the Living God.
Now, what are you going to do? Still be a slave? Or, be set free?
Your call.
