  4. Good morning @Breath-of-Power.... In your last post, you seem to searching for some kind of "identity" that is not there. It is not there, because in so many ways, our human minds construct what we identify with in life. That is why your mind is searching for a smoking identity and a non smoking identity. I think I identified with being a smoker in the past becasue I liked the feeling that nicotine gave me when I had a puff. All nicotine ever did was flip that 'ooh, that was good' switch deep inside my brain, without ever bothering to actually give me anything good. For me, this created a false identity that I liked being a smoker. Whatever we resist, will persisit. If we resist the identity of being a smoker, that false identity gets stronger. If we pursue the identity of being non-smoker, achieving that identity gets harder. The answer is to not endulge in building false identities. Maybe this is what you mean when you say, you had to "dismantle of the idea of 'enlightnement". The fact that you don't care is brilliant. You are ditching the pursuit of false identities. Best Regards, Gene

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
