All you quitters will remember this scenario, all you smokers don't have to live it anymore. "Man, gimme a smoke. I just need a smoke. Everything is just too much. I need a smoke." "ahhh. thanks, that's better." Really ? What's better ? The situation is still the same situation. Nothing is better, things are just what they were. The only thing that changed is you are chilled because you fed your addiction. You are a good slave. An obedient Slave. What seems better is only an illusion....what was accomplished ? You delayed withdrawal symptoms for another twenty minutes until the next crave. In twenty minutes or so, no matter what is going on...real crisis or no, you will have another crisis, the need to feed your addiction again because you are a good slave, a very good slave. The Truth is you don't need that smoke. You need to get a grip and stop your blind obedience to nicotine addiction. Your body and mind need to remember how to live. Your body needs water, food, rest, deep delicious breaths of oxygen. You Need to be Free. Remember when you were Free ? Maybe you don't remember because addiction has hijacked your brain and your soul. No worries, you WILL remember how to be free. It's simple. It's Freedom.

-8 Yay Pork 'n Cakes surfaced ! She's busy with kids, on holiday for August, Smoke Free ! and still loves us :D

This place and the people on the Train have taught me, *Temporary discomfort is worth a lifetime of Freedom *Quitting smoking enables self realizations and empowerment that changes us for the better in many, many ways. You only have to quit ONE TIME... and you never have to quit again. Get your head right, gather your resolve and NOPE your way to Freedom.

Rewards are not replacing dopamine, they are activating dopamine. Replacing Nicotine with a 'feel good' activity encourages the release of Dopamine. I only recently learned this and remembered how you always accentuate rewards, now there's even more reason. As far as 'feet apart'...I like soles together behind a neck or waist. To be filed under 'Tantric Rewards'. :D Pleasure is more pleasurable nicotine free, for sure.

-3 hiya Mister B. Thanks for your post on the 'reward' thread. I only recently learned about the dopamine connection and thought of you immediately.
