Are we stupid or trying to commit slow suicide? Neither!
No, we were fooled. Nicotine addiction is about living a lie. It's about an external chemical fooling the brain's priorites teacher into believing that that next nicotine fix is as important as eating. It's about hostage dopamine pathways leaving us falsely convinced that smoking nicotine defines who we are, gives us our edge, helps us cope and that life without it would be horrible. It's a giant lie!
Everything done while under nicotine's influence can be done as well or better as us. Coming home to entire days where we never once think about wanting to use is wonderful not horrible. Why fear freedom? Even the love in our heart, we get to bring it with us!
Allow knowledge and understanding to transform cold turkey into smart turkey. There is nothing to lose in becoming smarter than your chemical dependency is strong. Why fight in darkness? Be brave! Reach for understanding. Yes you can!
