Smoking After Eating Trigger
I just got through reading the Cognitive Quit Smoking web site and
it really made a lot of sense to me. I had been puzzling over
something similar to this.
I have never found it all that hard to make it through the chemical
withdrawal. Plus I know bunches at this point about nicotine
addiction and the health risks. So why, once I clear the nicotine
out of my system do I not just say “yippee … free at last … free
at last”? Everyone says, and I know also, that the rest is
psychological and habitual but I’ve never really understood how to
address that side of things.
Still, I think my question, as simplistic as it was, makes just a
little sense. The notion is that I have a wonderful life worth
living and lots of reasons not to smoke so it would seem that would
just overwhelm the other stuff once the chemical withdrawal trigger
is no longer there.
I’m now convinced that habit is one thing but the psychological
aspect is the real issue to be addressed.
Thanks for putting together such a rich and informative web site.
That obviously required a lot of work and it is a real gift to those
of us who so desperately want to quit but haven’t quit put all the
pieces together yet.
