I started smoking shortly before I was 20. One cigarette or another in college, when I was drinking, then one cigarette or another to relieve me during the week, so I bought the first wallet and more than 10 years ago. My ego made me very anxious, restless, had sudden mood swings, a very strong PMS from the first period, worked hard and always enjoyed the night, so because I had a hard time fulfilling my commitments during the day, she decided to go to the doctors who prescribed her the black label medications.
So it was: during the day, to escape the stressful moments, to smoke. At night, to slow down the mind, it helps to sleep. This became even more intense after the divorce. How can I be left alone in bed? I’ll increase the dose and spend the night I won’t even feel “And I really won’t.

You understand it’s energy. And that energy must be worked on to be always positive, this collective reflection can be dangerous and how carefully we must be with whom we share our energy, that we are one with nature and that, by destroying nature, we are destroying ourselves. other things.
So it wasn’t about quitting smoking or using drugs. In my head, it was already part of me. I discovered that many of our actions we do, unconsciously, to punish ourselves for something we believe deserves to be punished; it wasn’t as difficult as I seemed to be silent and dedicate moments to myself. Let our bodies reflect everything we think or say.
I discovered that changing the way we think, changing the way we talk, acting and everything will go hand in hand. Avoiding negative words or thoughts such as sadness, anger and vengeance are essential steps. Stay away from everyone and all those who aren’t true. Understand: it wasn’t a choice. Things happened naturally and gradually.
One of the first things I noticed was the end of PMS. Yes, it’s over. No crying, no nerves, no fights. The end. Then I realized that since I was a kid I had trouble going to the bathroom and I even ran out of 20 days, now I go every morning. My hair falls much less, my skin became cleaner and I became a nicer and happier person, my appetite came back with everything. Do not go hours without eating or exchange meals for snacks.
Then, when I went back to cigarettes and medicine, I discovered that there were triggers for smoking: I would wake up, meditation, coffee and cigarettes, lunch, coffee and cigarettes. A nuisance with something, however small, the cigarette. I wasn’t doing anything with a cigarette. Dinner, coffee and cigarettes. Beer with friends – cigarette? But if you had to concentrate on something, enjoy the beach, relax, practice physical activity . . . you could go many hours without smoking or remembering your cigarette.
I mean, even unintentionally, I lit the cigarette, so I realized that I would light and smoke less and less, he would throw away all the cigarette after two drinks, that meant that addiction became a habit and, if it was a habit, it could be changed. Just like medicine. I was decreasing the dose day after day. And when at least I was, my ego would say to me, “You’re not going to sleep. ” ?allows you to stop leaving work ?; “Let’s stop on Monday”; Do you want to be alone with your thoughts?
When I saw that they were both an escape and a habit, I decided that these habits could not tell who I was or what I was doing, I began to feel uncomfortable with cigarette smoke and the damage it caused to nature. I realized that when someone asked me about a cigarette, I told them not to smoke because I knew it would hurt them, but why didn’t this happen to me?So I stopped bragging about quitting smoking (as I said before, people’s energy contributes a lot to the decline or start of a project), I bought a cigarette wallet, smoked it, put it in the bag and it stays there today. No fanfare. No ads. I just stopped and ready, when I see myself remembering the cigar, I wonder: is it will or habit ?, I think it was really a habit and disappears. At bedtime, I faced my thoughts, my fears and I left too. medication.
The process is not fast. Don’t expect it, quitting smoking was a consequence, not a goal, I’ll keep talking about this process a couple more times for those who want to give up the habits of many years and make videos on the subject to address them in more depth. But ultimately, the process depends on these factors: getting rid of guilt, knowing and confronting your ego, dominating your mind, and taking care of your energy and spirituality. When you connect with the God who lives and shines in you, nothing and no one can dominate or manipulate you. It’s worth a try!
