Bad habits are hard to break.

So don't try to break them; Replace them!

You smoke because you feel "stress" and nicotine eases that stress. But it has a great cost and you will pay it later if not sooner. Replace Smoking with running-biking-walking-Yoga-Pilates and your stress will have a beneficial outcome.

You drink to escape the "anxiety" of day to day life as you know it. It too has a great cost and you will pay it. Replace drinking with reading about the life you want to replace the life you feel stuck in. Then begin to act as if that life were already yours; it is, you just do not yet Realize it.


Refined sugar and refined foods have the same effect. Replace them with great foods , Superfoods!

As you change your responses you will change your entire life. Your focus will shift from negative to beneficial.

Let no-one or no thing stand in your way. Walk away from those who would hold you back. Stand tall and be YOU. Some will accept your choices of change and some will not be able too. Accept both or "Do" what you need to do.

I find the craving is always for a sensation, so we don't crave cigs, we crave the sensation felt upon smoking... we also experience an aversion to the sensation of withdrawl.

The craving of one sensation and the aversion to the other causes the mind's anguish and it doesn't really have anything to do with the cigs... just the sensations we crave and have aversions to..

Maybe one craves the sensation 'superfood' gives them... and would feel anguish if they couldn't have them... same deal really.
