We were all born with nicotinic receptors but those who never used nicotine might never even know it. Those who have not used it for awhile do just fine.
So, why do we make quitting so damn hard?
You don't have to want to quit but every smoker has some reason for quitting or they wouldn't be here quitting.
Personally, I would rather choose to quit than have a dr tell me I'm done. It gives me a chance to contemplate and work through the feelings that arise before quitting and make my own plan.
For some, who don't get to choose, it may take a dr. telling them to stop smoking or forego the healthcare procedure they are in need of.
Perhaps that "do or die" option keeps them focused.
If you are saying you are quitting you must put that decision over emotions and circumstances for a time. You must look beyond every turn in the road and keep your end goal in mind.
Time is the healer.
Allowing the time to disconnect
is the only way to be free.
