You might think, that cigarettes make you calm. What a false claim! When that little nicotine monster inside of you scratches at your belly, and asks for more, are you feeling panicked? Nervous, unsure? What if your monster cannot be fed immediately? Do you break out into a sweat? The fact is, you are probably immune to the nicotine you bring in, that is why if you are forced into a stressful situation, you chain smoke. You can never cure this little monster’s need, so why try? The fact is, you have always been nervous, stressed and constantly on edge since you smoked. The mental game of always buying and having cigarettes or other smoking tools is a constant motivator to be stressed.
Before you were not always on edge, before you began smoking. Smoking does not calm you, it merely continues your stress. You are always on edge, always trying to keep the monster fed. It does not relax you. Only way to become a calm and relaxed person is to quit.
Secondly, you will not become bored if you quit smoking. If you approach this process with the thought that you are really ready to change, and your positive mindset tells you that you are now an ex-smoker, you are. There is nothing magical about this, just the fact that you are a non-smoker. You will not be bored with the great things you are about to accomplish. You are going to be so busy, and motivated, you will have trouble keeping up! Enjoy yourself, it is a brand new day.
Your smoking is a constant burden and a controller of your life. If you are willing to open your mind, you can see how hard it has been on you!
