Quitting is the demon that exists in humans that just always compels us to take an easy satisfying route and smoking or vaping are one of those easy routes to happiness which is temporary of course. And once on this route , it’s absolutely a matter of mind over matter which is often easier said than done . It takes people a lifetime and maybe decades to make this most transformative life changing decision and action to optimize health and wellbeing . And post the decision , is the wandering and guilt of having wasted years wallowing in this addiction.
The journey is filled with mountainous looking challenges just like the biggest decision Ull ever make especially in terms of the emotional highs and lows that are a part of this journey of breaking free from nicotine dependency.Â
As a Bach Flower Practitioner and Emotional Wellness Coach , I’ve witnessed the super transformative powers of the natural remedies which offer the emotional support you may need to break free from nicotine dependency, alcohol addiction, smoking , vaping and the likes .
This is particularly helpful in modern times where teenagers start vaping and believe in the general notion of vaping is better than smoking . An addiction is an addiction no matter what and comes with its hidden costs and fine print warnings in terms of loss of health and disfunction of internal organs whether we can see it or not and low immunity .
I’m sharing my inputs and experiences for some of the Bach flower remedies to help you quit vaping , smoking , alcohol and help you to break free from the chains unhealthy habits thereby also positively and mentally empowering you to stay on this path with your decision to quit.
To be able to quit let’s understand exactly why people are getting addicted and the science behind addiction. Once you understand the roots of addictions and bad habits , then healing becomes more mindful and the conflict within is easy to dissolve .
Out the many reasons and permutations and combinations of the complex emotions of humans , these are a few that I’m naming and let’s understand that such factors were beyond our control but reactions to such stimuli is where the mindful attitude and emotional quotient comes to play .
1. Peer pressure.
Peer pressure is a strong factor in starting to use and misuse drugs, particularly for young people.
2. Lack of family involvement. Difficult family situations or lack of a bond with your parents or siblings may increase the risk of addiction, as can a lack of parental supervision.
3. Attention seeking
Many people imitate their peers to fit in a certain peer group and soon become addicted without realising .
The cleverest and most intelligent people fall prey to such bad habits and addictions. Clearly , no matter how high intelligent you are that is defined by a high IQ , your bad habits and addictions are clearly defined by your emotional quotient that is the EQ .
So EQ and IQ are two different quotients and have to be looked at independent of each other .
