Numerous friends and family members of mine who previously used the willpower method, have terrible mood swings and done stupid things while on their journey to go back from ex-smokers to smokers. My mother for example will become irrationally angry after giving up cigarettes for 24 hours and resorts to using her bad mood as an excuse to light up. A former co-worker would clench his fists and grit his teeth while trying to avoid going out for a smoke break often breaking out in angry bursts at former co-workers concerned with his sudden change in mood.
What they wanted was for people to encourage them into going back to their 'regular happy selves' by offering them cigarettes but it proved to be a self destructive behaviour time and time again. Perhaps you have also resorted to such tactics in the past. I have. It's very common and this is what also creates the illusion that smokers suffer some form of 'terrible physical withdrawals'. What my mother, my co-workers and I had in common was that we didn't know how to win the battle against nicotine. We had no knowledge of the nicotine trap or how tiny the actual physical withdrawals were.
In order to win the battle we need to understand our nicotine addictions to grow our desire to quit. In our brains we are constantly filled with reasons to quit and reason to continue smoking. If we used willpower, our reasons to continue smoking grow exponentially. Instead through understanding the nicotine trap we exponentially grow our reasons to continue to be non-smokers until our reasons to continue smoking deflate over time. If you believe you must go through some odd illogical form of initial deprivation and misery to successfully quit smoking, you are wrong and you have been fed this your entire life. Many smokers argue that you can never be completely free and those who quit using the willpower method will argue this case too making it difficult to believe that being smoke free is as easy as I've described throughout this series numerous times.
I used to believe smoking would be difficult and full of misery too, because every single attempt I made previously used willpower or a gimmicky product aide that was the cause of the misery and deprivation itself. I would hate myself over and over for failing to quit cigarettes. It wasn't until I fully understood my nicotine addiction and the illusions that really kept me from succeeding that I was finally able to quit. Almost three years on, I hope my knowledge and experience will also help you quit.
If you have a positive task or mission such as say passing your drivers license, once you've attained your license the doubt is over, so why is smoking different?
It's different because we are brainwashed to believe our only barometer of success is to see if we can go our whole future lives without cigarettes. There is no possible way to know if we will become effective non-smokers permanently until our deathbeds with the willpower method.
You are waiting to see if you fail and through willpower hope you never do so. Instead you must change the goal and reinvent the barometer of success.
I experienced many revelations in different stages. I had many revelations when going through the quitting journey for the last time by arming myself with the knowledge of all my illusions about smoking and quitting were shattered and it hit me like a rock. The next major revelation was when I had my final cigarette for good. I wasn't 100% confident that this would indeed be my final cigarette but I felt so empowered and deep down, I knew this was my last cigarette despite the minor feelings and worries of not being able to quit.
In order to win the battle, you need to understand that willpower is bogus and that your knowledge of the nicotine trap and how to extinguish the nicotine and brainwashing demons are all the tools you'll ever need. You're beginning to win the battle, in our next video, we'll explore how you win the war.
