So been a bit quiet lately cos I've been off on a bit of a soul search, wish I hadn't started now lol but got fed up with smoking taking up all my thoughts so decided to look into other areas of life and what did I discover.......
Everything is a ****** addiction!! Fast food, chocolate, smoking, love!! Aww my head hurts, how can we be expected to keep in control of absolutely everything!!
Just made me a little angry so had to come here and shout lol!
Suppose the key is to fight one battle at a time! Life can be so mentally challenging
Anyways rant over, day 9 tomorrow, neatly at the double figures woohoo lol

Lol Mrs Mash It does seem that way sometimes. I know what you mean. I have an 'addictive' personality...so I dont have a chocolate, i have the box. I dont try and get fit, I live at the gym. everything to the extreme!
I had a soul search as well funnily enough, and you know what I realised and I feel you will too?
I was reading my Bhuddist psychology book and it was abit about suffering and how suffering comes to be. Its fairly simple yet we dont see it.
Our senses see's the ciggy.
We interact with it, smell it, taste it etc
We like it
This creates a craving for it
Because we crave it we identify with it eg 'Mrs Mash likes cigs'
identity formation is made - 'Mrs Mash is a smoker because she likes cigs'
when this item is gone, we feel like we are gone.
and the cycle of suffering comes because, the cig was never apart of us like we are not a part of it, Its an illusion of the senses and grasping thus we feel a loss. Us and the Cig are two different entities.
I know that sounds very simplistic, but after really wrapping my head around that, it clicked I am Nicola who smokes, not Nicola the smoker at basic core level.
I do like theoretical stuff I hope this helps you in some way that is helped me your doing great! keep it up! xxxx
