The Bad Advice Of Other Smokers
Do you trust an addict? Have you ever had a friend who was addicted to one of life’s most troubling addictions, heroin or cocaine? Even if you haven’t, then I’m sure that you will have heard stories about how you should never trust a junkie or else be prepared to have things stolen from you.
Now, of course, smokers are not that desperate as we have already discussed. Cigarettes are just affordable and also widely available. But many smokers are fooled by their addiction and will give bad advice or show strange behaviour to fellow smokers, especially those who want to stop.
When you stop smoking (that’s “when”, not “if”!) after reading this book, and you tell your smoker friends that you have stopped, I guarantee you that at least one of them will offer you a cigarette.
They will offer you a cigarette and then jokingly pretend that they had forgotten that you had stopped smoking. This happened to myself several times after stopping and it will happen to you as well! It has nothing to do with people forgetting that you had stopped smoking (how could they forget such a major event) and everything to do with addiction affecting behaviour. When your friends offer you cigarettes, their addictive-bent emotions are telling them that they have lost a fellow “addict friend” and they want you to rejoin the club.
This is all on a subconscious level. Maybe you don’t believe me but, as I said, I guarantee that this will happen to you at least once.
Do not trust the quitting smoking advice of a smoker. Would you trust a skiing coach who could not even ski himself? Then why would you trust a smoker to advise you on the best way to quit? You can only trust someone who has stopped smoking to advise you on how to quit your addiction.
On the other hand, would you trust a former addict? Would you trust someone who used to be an addict but found a way out and looks like never going back to those dark days?
You have a choice – trust the addict and remain an addict for life or trust me and your addiction will become a thing of the past.
