Summary and Reflection on Step 4:

 

WE  are convinced 
(brainwashed?) that smoking  is an inherently pleasurable act.  

Most of us have no idea of the extent and the extraordinary power this subtle mental conditioning has over us. 

To-day thousands of people who genuinely and totally believed that they NEEDED to smoke to enjoy certain parts of the day have realized it is a TOTAL ILLUSION.  
You can FULLY enjoy yourself  without NEEDING to smoke.

Before you were a smoker, you were able to get on with all aspects of your life without even giving a thought to cigarettes even if everyone around you was smoking.

Every time you have a cigarette you mentally and emotionally ALLOW yourself ( even if you are unconscious of this happening ) to have a break from your work or worries and for that moment you feel.
 We have unconsciously transferred pleasurable feelings of peace, relaxation and safety that we have allowed ourselves to experience to the daily act of smoking.  
When we smoke what we really want are the feelings and sensations that cigarettes trigger off in us and not the cigarette.
