Nobody wants to really quit smoking except maybe the non-smokers around you.

In fact nobody wants to quit anything really. We hate loss is why we don’t want to quit. It took me 8 tries to quit smoking.

In the words of Yoda: “There is no ‘try’. There is ‘do’ or do-not’.”

So the 9th time around I rewarded myself with breathing cleaner air instead of filling my lungs with smoke.

In my previous attempts to quit I had to deal with rage and frustration which then drove me back to smoking so I could dampen down the intensity.

Filling your lungs with smoke whether its MJ or tobacco interferes with emotional cognition and yes — contact with “spiritual energy”. Maybe too woo-woo for this crowd, eh?
