I didn't even catch that.
Do you all recognize that the Beast lies with AV.
Once I saw all the lies it was easy to dismiss it. Before that I couldn't do it.
It also helped me to separate it like Allen Carr did. He calls one the Big Brain Monster and the other The Little Hungry Monster.
That helped me so much. The Big Brain Beast screams out all these lies and I couldn't get to "never" because of all the lies. I was trying to think my way through it and figure out how to conquer the lies instead of just seeing it all as a lie. It was all an illusion and none of it was true. When I saw it all as lies I was able to just recognize I had a nicotine addiction. The little Beast is the physical withdrawal and the desire to end the withdrawal by wanting a nicotine fix.
It also made the willpower issue clear to me. There is no willpower involved when seeing the truth and dismissing all the lies.
I'm going to quit cold turkey on Saturday so I'm not sure what I'll be up against. I do believe the withdrawal will be easier without believing all the lies.
