Addictions

[andrasxflame]

Good evening brothers and sisters,
I know this question may seem a little strange, but I wanted to ask for advice about a problem I'm having.
I have a healthy lifestyle, except for smoking.
I developed this addiction due to various circumstances in my life, and although I have tried several times to quit, I find it very difficult.
I have achieved several goals and overcome many obstacles in my life, but I find this addiction difficult to combat.
I know that this must come mainly from me and my willpower, but I wanted to know if anyone here has succeeded in this goal and if there is any spiritual advice that could help me in this.

Thank you very much.

You should not have cigarettes in your desk/at home/jacket at all. And you can start a spell to end your addiction. There are special days in calendar, you can check for a date and start.

Depends on how much you are addicted.

My experience was, that I smoked around 6-10 cigs.

And just stopped suddenly, then I wanted to smoke, but I kept not doing it.

After a week I was lighter, and after 2 weeks basically it was gone.

If you smoke like 20-30-40 per day, then you need to aim to reduce and doing steps to quit.

Make a list of all the benefits you get from smoking, and then another list of all the benefits you get from not smoking. Then compare the two.
This is one method from SMART Recovery, which I suggest you look up. Talking to ChatGPT about this is also good.

I do use swedish snus myself (which containts nicotine) but that is much much healthier than smoking. The big cigarrette companies have tried to lobby against snus everywhere, since they would lose money if people were doing that instead of smoking. Smoking means inhaling burned materials into the lungs, which is the most nasty and unhealthy aspect here.

Place some kind of reminder that'll catch your daily attention to not smoke, and you can also work on your Base and Solar chakras more.

A stronger willpower will always lead to a more serious level of resolve necessary to overcome addictions.
