Am I Addicted to Smoking? Or is it just a Bad Habit?
When you want to improve a situation, no matter what kind of situation you are dealing with, it’s very important to understand precisely what kind of situation you are in. What type of smoker are you?
There are many types of smokers. Maybe you are a chain smoker? Or are you a party smoker? Or maybe a control freak smoker? I don’t know and frankly, I’m not really interested in knowing what type of a smoker you are. What is more important is that YOU KNOW what type of smoker you are. Do you smoke first thing in the morning when you wake up? Do you smoke every time you get into your car? Do you smoke your first cigarette only after 5:00 P.M. in the evening?
Have you figured it out? Now you might be wondering what this is all about. Will information about what type of a smoker you are determine whether you can quit easily or not? Or maybe you won’t quit at all? What is going through your mind at the moment? What are you really thinking of at this very instant while reading these words?
Have you captured your thoughts? Fine. Now, please let these thoughts go and promise yourself that you’ll never have these thoughts again. Why? Because these thoughts are limiting you on your way to freedom. As I told you earlier, it’s not important for me to know what you are thinking when you try to put yourself into one of the smoker categories. It’s only important to you.
Whatever the thought might be, it’s a limiting one. I’ll give you just a few possibilities. When you are a chain smoker puffing more than 100 cigarettes a day you might be thinking that you’ll never be able to quit and certainly not without suffering. When you are an occasional smoker who only smokes at parties, you might be telling yourself that your way of smoking is not so bad. After all, you smoke very little and you are fully in control of your smoking habit. At least, that’s what you think. In both cases, these are limiting thoughts that stop you from going further in the process to Final Liberation.
What is it important to consider? What do you have to understand about your situation in order to keep moving forward? Whether you are a heavy smoker or a light smoker, whether you believe it’s a bad habit or a habit you are in control of, it’s vital to understand and realize that smoking is not a bad habit! It’s not a “habit.” It’s an ADDICTION! Clear and simple. This might sound rude to you but that’s the way it is. Smoking is an addiction and yes, you have a drug addiction!
