silencing the inner voice
as to silencing the inner voice: the secret is repeated conscious choice:
every morning you get up and consciously choose not to smoke today, you're drawing the saw across the log. keep doing that, and you'll reach the other side.
if you draw a saw across a log one time, you may make a scratch in the bark.
if you draw it across the log a few more times you may scratch the surface of the wood.
if you keep drawing the saw across the same place on the log, the scratch will get deeper, until it becomes a cut, then a groove...
if you keep on drawing the saw across the log, beyond counting the number of times, eventually you'll draw it clear through to the other side.
every morning you get up and consciously choose not to smoke today, you're drawing the saw across the log. keep doing that, and you'll reach the other side.
keep sawing.
