Fear: Why Most Smokers Are Afraid To Be An Ex Smoker
implanted inside them that will always interrupt and make demands. It is the “Drug Monster” needing his food, nicotine. And he will stop you concentrating for sure.
When you put nicotine and the other toxins that are in cigarettes into your blood system they immediately start screwing up your veins, your nervous system, your blood and all the other stuff you may know about. I think you do. Once this starts it can and will eventually impede your natural ability to focus and concentrate on the job at hand.
When the time comes for concentration, smokers might have the incapacity to proceed because they experience a nicotine induced mental barrier that stops this natural ability to concentrate. They immediately light a cigarette and think this will help but it won’t. The job at hand is still there, the need for concentrating is also still there so they have no other choice but to get on with it like a normal human being does who doesn’t smoke, when they extinguish the cigarette. Smokers would never blame this inability to concentrate on the cigarette. When they try to stop smoking and the need for periods of concentration comes along and they find it difficult, they blame stopping smoking as the culprit.
I often have times that require long periods of concentration and I do not need a cigarette to start or help me along with it. That’s because human beings don’t need nicotine to function normally. The association with the stress of the objective and the stress of the addiction will only cause you to think that the cigarette will help you concentrate. It won’t. GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD NOW!! If you believe that smoking will aide your ability to concentrate more and that you will suffer without nicotine to do this then you are just certifying failure from the start.
Evidently even to this day after not poisoning myself for such a long time my concentration is STILL intact and HAS somewhat improved. That’s what being an ex smoker has done to me.
4. You won’t be able to relax.
Imagine this. You have been told by your boss that you have to go to a very important work related conference, which is going to last for three and a half hours and he wants you to write down word for word everything that the speakers say. Also the bad news is that the conference hall is strictly non smoking. This is bad news because as a smoker you’re not going to think “Shit! Three and a half hours of listening to some boring conference” You’re going to think “Shit! Three and a half hours without a cigarette! I’m going to die! ” Now on the other hand, if you were a non smoker maybe you will have a moan about having to go to the conference and not be too overjoyed about what your boss wants you to do but so what, shit happens and you will put up with it, and get the job done. But as a smoker there is one thing that completely rules everything else in your life and that is because you are subject to nicotine slavery. You cannot relax until the “Drug Monster” is fed and relaxed himself. But don’t forget (as you know) that it’s only going to be temporary right? Imagine if you were on the brink of a promotion and this conference report would almost certainly guarantee it. But After one hour into the conference Drug Monster needs his fix so you sneak off to find a place where you can give it to him. Only to miss the most crucial part of the conference because it took you 10 minutes to get outside because it’s a completely smoke free building, and ten minutes to smoke it then ten minutes to get back. When your boss finds out that you missed the part he most certainly needed, what then. Even though it was the fault of the slavery you’re not going to be forgiven so easily. What about that promotion? We know… right?
Smokers can’t relax period!
Even after a meal or sex they need that fix. Watch how smokers behave after a meal. They start to fidget and look detached. They need that drug so that they can feel like a non smoker does. The cigarette after the meal is like a home coming party for them. But it’s only because they feel satisfied from the food and it’s naturally time for the fix anyway, that they think it’s a good smoke. Hilarious! Watch that same person when he can’t smoke after a meal. Compare them to a non smoker after a meal. Now that is natural relaxation. A smoker who can’t smoke will rip up the carpet and light it if he had to. It’s true. Just to get to a relaxed state like a non smoker. I once ripped open a tea bag and stuffed it in a cigarette paper and smoked it. It might as well have been an old sock. And the taste Yuk!!…my god! What an idiot I was. What kind of slavery does these things to us? It was the slavery of nicotine that’s what. How can you be a smoker and be relaxed? it’s impossible. Trust me! Believe me! I am so much more relaxed now as an ex-smoker. I can watch a movie
