You Are Able To Stop Smoking Without NRT
If I could get away with smoking and not kill myself in the process I would. I mean it was not as if I was in love with smoking, but I found the experience pleasurable. I liked the taste, the heat going down my lungs, the rush I that would hit my brain. By the way did you know that is really where the addiction is based in your brain? That is why you can stop smoking without NRT.
Nicotine inhaled into your system reaches the brain faster than any other drug except heroin and morphine. Good company right? Each puff you take is another stimulant to your brain. Sure there is a habit factor involved like lighting up, having something to hold in your hand, even going to the store to buy cigarettes. But the real addiction is in your mind, your brain actually.
You can stop a habit easier than an addiction. A habit like nibbling on your thumb nail can be broken with you realize it is a behavioral response. You might do this when you are nervous. Once you realize you are doing this you can figure out why you get nervous and then deal with it in a different way or you can choose not become nervous.
The way I stopped smoking was deciding that my health was more important than my brains desire for a charge. I was I have to admit not one of these people who smoked at fifteen and then decided at thirty eight to quit. No I smoked here and there and quit here and there.
It has been over fifteen years since I had smoke by the way. And I have no plan to go back. I believe I have breathed enough dirty air living in the city at my age so why make it worse by lighting up a cigarette again.
In my twenties however I smoked when I was out with my drinking friends who smoked. A few months of this I went out and played a pick up game of basketball. I spent the second half of the game bent over gasping for air like a fish out of water. That was my last smoking experience for many years to come.
Years later I traveled throughout Europe. In Europe cigarettes are more prevalent than in the States. I took it up again. I decided when I returned home to light up occasionally like at our monthly poker game. And then I decided to have only one cigarette when I got home from work. I actually smoked my one cigarette in the bathroom. One particularly tough day at work I thought about smoking my one cigarette when I got home. Suddenly I felt good, my body and mind relaxed knowing that soon I would be puffing away in my bathroom.
I decided not to smoke my cigarette that night when I got home. No I tossed the pack in the trash. I thought if I looked forward to a smoke to ease my day at work then I had a bigger problem than a hard day at work. And the problem was in my mind, my brain actually. You can stop smoking without NRT when you understand you need to overcome your brain’s need for nicotine. You might have to go through some tough times. But you have to learn to say no to your brain. You can do it!
