It’s normal to have a part of you that wants to smoke and a part of you that doesn’t. That’s because the part of you that wants to smoke enjoys the benefits of smoking. These are the relaxing aspects of smoking, the way smoking helps deal with anxiety, and the way that smoking makes a good time more enjoyable.
The idea is for John to start to grow that part of him that wants to quit. He can do that by focusing in the benefits of quitting such as freedom from an addiction, saving money and living longer. It’s also a good idea for John to understand what it takes to quit. Contrary to popular belief, smoking is not just a matter of stopping something. John will actually have to learn to live his life without tobacco. That takes focusing on the three reasons why most people smoke; habit, addiction, and because it helps cope with emotions.
