If you are smoking more than 2-3 cigarettes a week you are addicted. If you cannot stop; if you cannot put them down; then you are addicted. Nicotine is a habit and it creates the addition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I will gain weight.<\/strong> No, you will not gain weight when you <a href=\"https:\/\/josephgiove.com\/qso\/dir_quit_smoking_private_coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quit smoking<\/a> <em>properly<\/em>, i.e., where you do not replace the habit of smoking with the habit of eating. So gaining weight is not an automatic assumption once you <a href=\"https:\/\/josephgiove.com\/qso\/dir_quit_smoking_private_coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quit smoking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am losing a friend.<\/strong> No, you are not losing a friend; in fact, you are not losing anything at all. You are gaining everything. It is pure gain to <a href=\"https:\/\/josephgiove.com\/qso\/dir_quit_smoking_private_coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quit smoking<\/a>. If nicotine was a friend it was the worst possible friend you could ever have: it lied, cheated and stole from you. Cigarettes, smoking and nicotine are not your friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will I deal with stress? <\/strong>You will deal with stress in a more healthy and constructive way because nicotine is a stimulant. When you get stressed out do you think about going to Starbucks and doing a triple shot of espresso? Of course not; that sounds silly to address stress with a stimulant, doesn\u2019t it? Nicotine is a stimulant. The fact that you think it reduces your stress is actually a false association. When you stop putting that stimulant in your body you actually find it easier to deal with stress. You will learn a different way to deal with stress rather than putting a cigarette in your mouth, toxifying your body and adding a stimulant.<\/p>\n<p>Take action now to be free.
