Afraid to Quit Smoking

Afraid to Quit Smoking

One of the major reasons people keep smoking is because they are afraid to quit. It is usually an underlying reason most people are not consciously aware of. Just think about the following statement. If I were to tell you right now, that it’s over, that you would never ever be allowed to smoke another cigarette, how would you feel? Are you afraid? Do you feel frightened? Do you have butterflies in your stomach?

How can I know how you feel? Simple, most smokers feel this way. There are several common fears for smokers. I think one of the biggest fears is the fear of not succeeding. You are afraid to fail. Another fear is the fear of going through misery and sacrifice. You are also afraid of not being able to enjoy life fully, once you have quit. You are afraid of having to cope at social events without cigarettes.

Finally, you are afraid that you’ll miss many joyful things, once you have stop smoking. Because smokers have all these fears, it’s difficult to connect with them on the subject of quitting. They are so afraid of this event that they exclude everything that could even remind them of it. They even deny it.

As a smoker, you smoke a lot of cigarettes when you feel fear. When you are afraid of deadlines, when you are afraid of losing your job, when you are afraid of a rejection, etc. So, when I tell you that smoking is bad, that you can get cancer from it, that they might have to cut off your legs, that you are killing yourself, most likely, you’ll become afraid and you’ll want a cigarette. In such a condition, your mind is not open to listening, not open to ways to stop smoking.

Why is it that you are so afraid of just the thought of quitting?

Why are you so afraid?

What are your feelings based upon?

To answer these questions we should look at the basis of fear or the basis of our behavior in general. There is one single driving force for everything we do. Everything human beings do, they do for a reason. This reason or driving force is called The Pleasure-Pain Principle. It states that everything we do, we do either because we want to avoid pain or because we have a strong desire to gain pleasure. It’s important that you understand the principle and its consequences.
