OK - time for my pennyworth.
As a Consultant Psychotherapist of 4 years and a therapist of some 10 years, you are not addicted.
SMOKING IS NOT AN ADDICTIVE ACTIVITY
Did everyone get that...???
SMOKING IS NOT AN ADDICTIVE ACTIVITY
If it was, people would not be able to become non-smokers instantly and never touch a ciggy again...
Heroine is addictive, cocaine is addictive - smoking is not..!!!
Smoking is a habit, triggered by thought process either conscious or sub-conscious. It is not triggered by somatic activity.
Just needed to clear that one up...if anyone wishes to know how the mind convinces you that you want / need / must have a ciggy, read Dr Georges Phillips PhD Book, Gold Psychotherapeutic Counselling, available from Crown House Publishing.....
It is all in the mind.....
