first step is changing your identity
think of yourself as someone who used to smoke nicotine
Discussion
Yeah I like this idea. Like I read about visualizing life as a nonsmoker
identity - outcome - goal
those are the different levels you can think of. changing the identity is the best way to go
create and follow a system to quit nicotine, and the goal will fulfil itself
Can't recommend Allen Carr's audiobook Easy Way to Quit Smoking. I still smoke, but have used it multiple times to quit for years at a time lol full disclosure. It's easy to start again is the problem. Now I smoke cigars
