Attention Smokers: ( a little tip)
~~~~~~~~~~~The more you covet and project a thing...the tighther lock it will have on your chains of desire.~~~~~~~~~~~
I quit...and I have been on the patch.
Every night I dream of cigarettes. And of course there are cravings.
TODAY, I tried an interesting practice; one which I thought would be beneficial.
I tried having *ONE* cigarette...and by giving myself *one*; I thought I could dissuade cravings and see that I don't want it that much anyway.
Sometimes lifting the taboo, relieves one of a desire.
And it did. I had that one, and I thought it was *disgusting*.
I made my best efforts to enjoy it, but I luckily confirmed for myself...that I have no urge to smoke 500 afterward. It was harsh, and it ripped my throat, and it tasted gross.
No more cigarettes, only as planned: Only when drinking and at parties. I never intended to be an official smoker anyway...but I got addicted hardcore.
Good luck to you quitters. I know you can do it! And plus...try my little tip. If sometimes you need it (and you have a lot of *control*): Try letting yourself have one anyway. You may find that the more you covet and project a thing...the tighther lock it will have...on your chains of desire.

Ps. QUITTERS WIN!!
