I was listening to a Tony Robbins talk about what drives some of us to change. π£οΈπ‘ I get that I like to feel good and when I feel pain I want to fix that pain. ππ©Ή Also we can say that pleasure can also cause pain. ππ
pain = pleasure π€―π
pleasure = pain π΅βπ«π
I smoked for years when I was upset feeling some feeling I would grab nicotine it did not matter what kind cigarette, gum, patch, or vape. π¬π€ I had linked nicotine to pleasure every time I felt pain. ππ So in order to switch this I had to break this and make nicotine the pain. π¨π«
I have always been a hard physical worker so when I could no longer breathe I was angry because I hated the addiction that killed my mother in 2007 she passed away from lung cancer. π€π I used the pleasure of working every time I felt that pain of the addiction for nicotine. πͺπ I was able to use what I loved doing which was work to make a new link to pain of nicotine addiction. ππ«
9 years later I am not plagued by addiction to nicotine. ππ₯³ When I get stressed I do physical work like clean my carpets. (5 rooms) π§Ήπ§Ό
