More Quotes from Allen Carr's, The Easy Way to Quit Smoking
Chapter 37 - Substitutes. DO NOT USE ANY OF THEM. (In line with "the fear" of gaining weight and our BCB philosophy.)
"There is no substitute for nicotine."
"Your craving is for nicotine, not food. What you are really saying is "I need to smoke or fill the void." It will be like giving in to a hijacker or the tantrums of a child. The substitutes will not relieve the pangs. Remember these points.
1. There is no substitute for nicotine.
2. You do not need nicotine. It is not food; it is poison. See the pangs as another evil of the drug. See them as the death of a monster.
Remember: cigarettes create the void; they do not fill it. The quicker you teach your brain that you do not need to smoke or do anything else in its place, the sooner you will be free.
What you are trying to achieve when you quit smoking is to kill both the little monster in your body and the big monster inside your brain as quickly as possible.
Although the empty feeling of wanting a cigarette is indistinguishable from hunger for food, one will not satisfy the other."
