[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore Your Smoke-ing Away Or for want of a better title Let Me Bore Your Smoking Away Does that make sense as a title? I don't know Anyway, this is kind of an updated version of
[00:00:40] what I've already been doing with my stop smoking hypnosis recordings so I only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes because it's gonna be boring and you might fall asleep okay, I'll be honest you might actually your mind may drift off
[00:01:15] somewhere more interesting like Dreamland so what is this exactly what is this thing that I'm doing here well this is a very chatty version of the previous things I've done so I've actually this isn't the only boring podcast I do I do let me bore you to sleep so that's for people with insomnia
[00:01:51] sleep issues or they just want to relax you know I've got the let me ASMR whisper let me bore you to sleep so it's the same podcast really it's just me whispering instead of talking the third one is let me bore your pain away so that's for chronic pain relief I do have another one let me bore your stress away
[00:02:18] and this is let me bore your smoking away so the idea behind it is I just talk here's the deal actually here's the deal I talk and if you know only listen if you find benefit from listening okay only listen if you find benefit so
[00:02:56] if you feel better if you feel more positive if you feel more focused on stopping or staying stopped from smoking then this recording has worked so this recording is for both people who want to stop smoking and who have already stopped smoking it's you could say like it's
[00:03:35] ongoing support for those who want to stop and also an opportunity with every recording to stop to say you know what that's it no more or as Duran the boxer famously said no more although he said no he said no mass but that means no more in Mexican
[00:04:06] or Venezuelan or wherever he said no more is something to I'd say probably quite useful to remember to say that for other things you know for various things not just for inhaling toxic smoke into your lungs for pleasure
[00:04:41] well um but a lot of things whether it's being around uh individuals that you really know are harmful you know to you emotionally psychically maybe physically even uh maybe I need to do a podcast let me bore your abuser away aimed at people that are being
[00:05:23] you know hurt who continuously put in you know hurt who continuously put up with it because some people put up with that shit for years and years decades even when they need to get out so maybe I could bore people into that
[00:05:52] I don't know I don't know it'd be nice it's a nice idea isn't it nice idea so this is very chatty this is very it will seem very unfocused now if you really want to listen to an unfocused recording listen to the let me bore you to sleep that is the most unfocused recording I will ever you'll ever hear me do anyway
[00:06:21] this is focused in a sense of it's about stopping smoking but it's also or staying stopped but it's also you know eliminating cigarettes from your life etc
[00:06:35] it's also about getting in touch with the positivity or increasing the positivity within yourself moving forward in life valuing yourself because I know when I was younger most things happened when I was younger
[00:07:09] oh everything so when I was younger I don't think I put much value on my life I used to smoke
[00:07:24] I used to take drugs drink whatever and I genuinely didn't care and I don't think many people do when they're very young
[00:07:36] you know late teens 20s early 20s I mean the hope is that by the time someone gets to sort of 25 they'll start turning into an adult but it didn't happen with me
[00:08:00] I became a semi-adult when I was in my early 30s and I'm still waiting to become a full adult I think
[00:08:09] it's it's a very very slow process for me because I'm pretty I'm quite immature and I've realised that
[00:08:19] some of the things that I've done over the years are very childish it's a very childish thing it's like
[00:08:30] people that spend all their time taking drugs or drinking it's it's kind of a child's life
[00:08:39] it's how a child would live if they could just do whatever they wanted to do play with their toys
[00:08:46] eat all the chocolate drink all the the pop the fizz he drinks
[00:08:53] uh eat all the ice cream and just basically do whatever they wanted to do
[00:08:59] whenever they wanted to do it without any comeback and expect instant gratification
[00:09:07] and will not be told no so that's that's a drug addict you know and cigarettes are a drug
[00:09:19] it's a very different type of drug though I think for me cigarettes were the hardest not to stop taking
[00:09:32] like completely but sometimes the hardest to be without
[00:09:38] so if I used to run out it was a big deal it's like no I do anything but run out I make no I'm not
[00:09:45] going to run out the shop finishes closes at 10 I'm going to make sure I got them they become almost
[00:09:56] embedded uh it was almost like they're as important as milk milk and butter and bread you know the very
[00:10:06] very basics um you know when you go through life and maybe you're going through a difficult time
[00:10:15] and you've got no money for food really to buy much food but you have the basics you have your breakfast
[00:10:22] cereal maybe cornflakes your milk your bread so you can have toast and then your margarine or butter to put
[00:10:31] on the toast all very very cheap stuff that isn't you know perhaps a very healthy diet but it's essential
[00:10:45] essential well cigarettes kind of became that with me an essential wasn't a luxury wasn't a treat
[00:10:57] wasn't something I look forward to doing you know it's like oh I'll go to the shops and I get that
[00:11:03] and I'll be like I have a lovely cigarette tonight you know when I finish work I'll I'll you know have a
[00:11:10] have a can of lago and I'll have a nice a nice cigarette as a treat no I mean some people can do
[00:11:19] that I know I know one person that can do that they don't smoke haven't smoked for years but whenever
[00:11:28] they visit certain people that smoke they smoke buy a packet of cigarettes and that's it the rest of the
[00:11:37] time they're they don't I'm not one of those people I know that I tried it and it didn't work
[00:11:46] I stopped smoking for 17 years and I was around someone that's smoking and I thought
[00:11:53] and the thing is people do offer like oh do you want a cigarette no I told you I don't smoke
[00:11:59] haven't smoked for 17 years okay do you want a cigarette though no I just told you
[00:12:06] in the end it was like okay I'll have one I just have one and then like oh yeah I can go I can
[00:12:18] have one and that's it and then eventually I'm knocking everything eventually you know started again
[00:12:29] so think about stopping and staying stopped is to not make it a big deal
[00:12:43] it is a it is kind of a big deal but to make it so it isn't so it's not a big deal to make it so
[00:12:51] it's it's the most natural thing in the world which it is let's face it not sucking on a lit stick
[00:13:01] of tobacco is natural not to do that there's nothing particularly weird to do it if because we can't
[00:13:12] pretend it feels weird if we can but if you've been doing it for years it's like natural isn't it it
[00:13:19] feels natural but it's also natural to not do it and there are millions probably billions of people on
[00:13:27] the planet that do not smoke and they get on okay they get on fine I mean if you look at the
[00:13:44] Olympic Games how many of those athletes do you think smoke now you might say of course none of
[00:13:51] them no there will be some there will be some smokers that out of the Olympic Games they they're
[00:13:58] probably not the the runners to be fair but some of them will smoke they might not smoke all the time
[00:14:08] but they might have a crafty one every now and then but generally it's going to be a fairly smoke-free
[00:14:20] situation and they seem fine they seem to function okay I mean now in prison people they can't smoke
[00:14:37] smoke I think they were allowed vapes but they can't smoke cigarettes anymore and if they're smuggled
[00:14:49] in they cost a fortune I mean it's 20 pound for 10 no for 20 pound for 20 cigarettes now or 22 pound
[00:14:59] in the UK in prison it's like a hundred pound or something plus they smell bad because they've been at
[00:15:08] someone's bum hole so you it's like I want to smoke but do I want to smoke that bad I want that
[00:15:18] only cigarette is supposed to be white nope it's been up my ass that's why it's okay lovely
[00:15:24] can't wait for it to dry out so I can smoke it and inhale that into me lungs it's weird isn't it
[00:15:35] you think about it the inhaling something toxic like on purpose on purpose like choosing to do that
[00:15:52] like if you was in a house fire or there was a fire and you you know and you're choking you kind of want
[00:16:05] that to stop yeah we the idea choosing to do that I mean I was my uh a while back the alarm smoke alarm
[00:16:23] went off in one of my uh neighbor's flats so I went down left the food I don't know what it was the one
[00:16:30] of the electrical cooking appliances was left on and the place was full of smoke like really
[00:16:39] really really bad and I got in there and I opened the windows and everything but it I was coughing
[00:16:49] and it's and it's just smoke just smoke which is what people inhale when they smoke it's like
[00:16:59] oh is that what they call it smoking oh okay but it's like this doesn't feel so nice
[00:17:10] surely I should just go in there with a straw and just sit there and enjoy it
[00:17:15] hmm it's free smoke I haven't had to pay for this oh it's lovely oh that's definitely this is
[00:17:23] brilliant especially after breakfast oh but it didn't feel that way it felt like I was choking
[00:17:32] choking and I guess we all know what it feels like to choke don't we like temporarily
[00:17:44] for a short period of time you know when you eat and it goes down a wrong hole or whatever um
[00:17:52] or you drink and it goes down like into your lungs or I don't know just like
[00:17:56] and you're kind of coughing for a bit we've all had that feeling but it's it's almost like oh
[00:18:14] I love that feeling I want to have more of that when I get older how can I have more of that feeling
[00:18:21] when I'm older I don't know I'll smoke you know I've got a friend who's got COPD and asthma
[00:18:30] and I heard some weird noises the other day this was two weeks ago and I was worried for my friend's
[00:18:42] safety like health wise so I go downstairs and I see his dog in the garden so I went out going to the
[00:18:49] garden and my friend was in the garden awake the noises he were making was just him being awake
[00:19:00] breathing there was like I can't even do it because it'll make me cough if I try and mimic it but the sound
[00:19:09] was awful really really kind of scary and and I'm just like oh I really really hope I never get like that
[00:19:34] in my life you know it's I mean my granddad had uh asbestosis
[00:19:44] so he didn't smoke yeah he tried a pipe I think when he was in his 30s
[00:19:50] but because he had about 500 children he couldn't afford to smoke didn't have enough money to smoke so
[00:19:57] he tried it but then it wasn't that bothered so he didn't bother anymore
[00:20:04] but because he breathed in the asbestos from where he worked
[00:20:09] he um yeah he basically was lung cancer and he died
[00:20:17] even his breathing didn't sound as bad as my friend's
[00:20:21] and it was like wow
[00:20:31] and the thing is when there's someone like that I've I had a friend as well she had lung cancer
[00:20:37] and she died
[00:20:39] and
[00:20:41] you just want to take it away from them don't you
[00:20:44] you want to be like what can I do
[00:20:46] you know what how can I help
[00:20:49] and you can't you can't help them
[00:20:53] the only thing you can do is help yourself
[00:20:55] I guess
[00:20:56] now I don't want these recordings to be talking about lung conditions and stuff
[00:21:04] I really don't
[00:21:05] because it just
[00:21:08] it's just not really what I want to talk about
[00:21:10] I mean it can be
[00:21:14] for some people it can be the the difference between
[00:21:23] carrying on smoking and saying
[00:21:26] nah thank you
[00:21:28] no more to that
[00:21:29] actually
[00:21:32] I think I'm gonna start to appreciate being able to breathe
[00:21:43] I'll start using my lungs for what they're meant for
[00:21:46] I'm just gonna take a break and just use my lungs for breathing
[00:21:51] as an experiment
[00:21:54] as a little experiment
[00:21:55] I'm gonna just use my lungs for breathing
[00:21:57] just for a little while
[00:21:58] okay
[00:22:03] might sound weird
[00:22:06] but I'm just gonna give it a go
[00:22:09] just for I don't know
[00:22:11] just for a few years
[00:22:13] let's just see how it goes
[00:22:16] and see whether or not
[00:22:17] I feel different
[00:22:19] because that's what I said about this recording
[00:22:24] even though
[00:22:26] on some level you might be listening thinking
[00:22:29] what is this bloke talking about
[00:22:32] he's just talking a bunch of crap
[00:22:35] how is this
[00:22:37] in any way
[00:22:39] how can it be useful
[00:22:41] in any way
[00:22:42] for me to stop smoking
[00:22:45] or to stay stop smoking
[00:22:47] to stay motivated
[00:22:48] to
[00:22:51] continue
[00:22:52] as a non-smoker
[00:22:55] for the rest of my life
[00:22:56] and actually
[00:22:58] decide
[00:22:58] that you're never gonna go back
[00:23:01] you know
[00:23:02] that you've made your decision
[00:23:05] you already made your decision
[00:23:07] before you decided to listen to me
[00:23:09] and
[00:23:10] there's personal reasons behind it
[00:23:14] I know we don't want to talk about illness and stuff
[00:23:18] but let's face it
[00:23:19] we all think about it
[00:23:20] if you don't
[00:23:22] you're bullshitting
[00:23:23] if you're saying you don't
[00:23:24] you're lying
[00:23:25] we all do
[00:23:26] we all
[00:23:27] it's something we're all scared of
[00:23:30] I know I am
[00:23:33] and
[00:23:38] sometimes
[00:23:41] I mean
[00:23:41] you don't have to acknowledge
[00:23:43] that you're scared of something
[00:23:45] there's no
[00:23:45] there's nothing wrong with being scared of stuff
[00:23:47] I'm scared of stuff
[00:23:49] but then there's stuff I'm not scared of
[00:23:51] you know
[00:23:52] I'm scared of everything
[00:23:53] I think that's
[00:23:59] that's what they call being a human
[00:24:01] you know
[00:24:02] I mean
[00:24:06] being scared of getting terminally ill
[00:24:09] and dying
[00:24:10] is
[00:24:11] that's kind of a natural thing
[00:24:12] I don't think there's anything weird about that at all
[00:24:17] you know
[00:24:18] I'm not one needs to like
[00:24:20] oh yes
[00:24:21] just bring it on
[00:24:22] I'll be fine
[00:24:23] no
[00:24:24] I don't want it
[00:24:25] keep it away from me
[00:24:29] so
[00:24:29] if you're kind of like me a bit
[00:24:31] and you don't
[00:24:32] you don't want to be
[00:24:33] you don't want to get ill
[00:24:35] you don't want that stuff
[00:24:37] then
[00:24:37] yes
[00:24:39] stop in
[00:24:40] and being a non-smoker
[00:24:42] is
[00:24:43] the obvious route
[00:24:45] to take
[00:24:45] the obvious
[00:24:46] path
[00:24:47] to
[00:24:48] wobble down
[00:24:52] the choice
[00:24:58] the choice is yours
[00:25:01] the choice
[00:25:01] sounds dramatic
[00:25:03] the choice
[00:25:04] is yours
[00:25:06] and it is true
[00:25:09] but remember that choice
[00:25:10] is every second of every day
[00:25:13] you choose what you do next
[00:25:17] no one's in control of you
[00:25:18] not really
[00:25:19] I know
[00:25:20] you know
[00:25:21] there are situations
[00:25:22] where people are being controlling
[00:25:23] and
[00:25:24] you know
[00:25:24] if you're in prison
[00:25:25] you know
[00:25:26] you're
[00:25:27] there's a lot of control
[00:25:28] involved in that situation
[00:25:31] but I mean
[00:25:32] in a general
[00:25:34] life
[00:25:42] might not seem like a choice
[00:25:44] you know
[00:25:45] if your boss is telling you
[00:25:46] do that
[00:25:47] and you don't want to do that
[00:25:52] whatever it is
[00:25:55] you choose to do it
[00:25:57] even though you think
[00:25:58] you're not choosing
[00:25:59] because you have to
[00:26:00] because your boss said so
[00:26:01] and
[00:26:01] no you're choosing to do it
[00:26:08] now if you
[00:26:09] you're choosing
[00:26:10] knowing that
[00:26:11] if you
[00:26:11] went against
[00:26:13] what your boss is saying
[00:26:15] then there's
[00:26:16] going to be
[00:26:17] consequences
[00:26:19] as there are
[00:26:20] consequences
[00:26:21] if you do
[00:26:22] what your boss says
[00:26:24] there's consequences
[00:26:27] whatever happens
[00:26:28] whatever we choose to do
[00:26:29] there are consequences
[00:26:32] and
[00:26:33] the idea
[00:26:34] of those consequences
[00:26:35] like it sounds very negative
[00:26:37] it's not
[00:26:38] it's just
[00:26:38] you know
[00:26:39] everything follows
[00:26:40] a thing
[00:26:41] you know
[00:26:43] it's
[00:26:44] one thing leads to another
[00:26:46] it's just
[00:26:47] as I don't know
[00:26:48] why my voice is going high
[00:26:49] one thing leads to another
[00:26:50] and it just
[00:26:54] life is like that
[00:26:55] isn't it
[00:26:56] it continues
[00:26:58] what happens
[00:26:59] in five seconds
[00:27:00] will be dependent
[00:27:01] upon what happens
[00:27:03] in the five seconds
[00:27:04] previous to that
[00:27:05] five seconds
[00:27:06] and a lot of that
[00:27:09] has to do with
[00:27:10] choices
[00:27:13] you know
[00:27:14] if you
[00:27:15] you don't get drunk
[00:27:16] unless you drink alcohol
[00:27:17] you have to drink
[00:27:20] a certain amount
[00:27:20] of alcohol
[00:27:22] it varies for
[00:27:23] different people
[00:27:23] but you can't get
[00:27:25] drunk without
[00:27:26] drinking alcohol
[00:27:26] you know
[00:27:35] it's something
[00:27:35] that you need
[00:27:36] to do
[00:27:36] to get to that
[00:27:38] position
[00:27:38] at that point
[00:27:40] so being drunk
[00:27:42] is the consequence
[00:27:43] of drinking alcohol
[00:27:46] it's not a punishment
[00:27:47] it's just a consequence
[00:27:50] it's the result
[00:27:51] so if I drink
[00:27:57] out of that
[00:27:58] bottle of water
[00:27:58] here
[00:27:59] now chances are
[00:28:01] because there's a very
[00:28:02] thin plastic bottle
[00:28:03] it will start
[00:28:04] crinkling
[00:28:05] it will start
[00:28:06] I don't know if you can
[00:28:07] hear this
[00:28:09] yeah
[00:28:09] it's going to make
[00:28:12] that noise
[00:28:13] when I drink
[00:28:16] I've decided to
[00:28:18] drink
[00:28:18] but now
[00:28:21] because I've
[00:28:21] moved it
[00:28:22] and crinkled it
[00:28:23] a bit
[00:28:25] it may
[00:28:27] sporadically
[00:28:29] every now and then
[00:28:31] make some
[00:28:32] crinkly noises
[00:28:35] happens more
[00:28:36] with the bigger
[00:28:36] bottles
[00:28:37] but sometimes
[00:28:38] happens with the
[00:28:39] small ones as well
[00:28:39] but knowing that
[00:28:45] I've made that
[00:28:45] choice
[00:28:49] but in the same
[00:28:50] way
[00:28:50] I'm sitting in there
[00:28:52] I think the
[00:28:52] radios may be on
[00:28:55] and I'm talking
[00:28:57] so I need to
[00:28:59] have drinks
[00:28:59] I need to have
[00:29:00] a drink of water
[00:29:02] because my
[00:29:03] mouth
[00:29:04] you know
[00:29:04] my voice gets
[00:29:07] might get a little
[00:29:08] bit croaky
[00:29:08] or my mouth
[00:29:09] gets
[00:29:09] my throat
[00:29:10] gets a bit dry
[00:29:10] maybe
[00:29:11] so I need to
[00:29:12] drink water
[00:29:13] when I'm
[00:29:13] talking
[00:29:17] I've noticed
[00:29:18] that
[00:29:20] sometimes
[00:29:20] it's weird
[00:29:21] that
[00:29:22] just a
[00:29:25] glass
[00:29:26] or a mouthful
[00:29:28] of water
[00:29:28] can actually
[00:29:30] ease
[00:29:32] cravings
[00:29:36] and I think
[00:29:41] maybe
[00:29:41] that's
[00:29:42] maybe
[00:29:43] that's
[00:29:45] because
[00:29:46] perhaps
[00:29:48] we confuse
[00:29:50] physical
[00:29:51] sensations
[00:29:52] ones that are
[00:29:53] not connected
[00:29:54] to craving
[00:29:55] with craving
[00:29:56] so
[00:30:03] maybe
[00:30:04] the
[00:30:04] sensation
[00:30:05] of needing
[00:30:06] water
[00:30:06] and a dry
[00:30:07] throat
[00:30:07] and needing
[00:30:09] something
[00:30:12] connects
[00:30:13] to
[00:30:13] the
[00:30:15] needing
[00:30:16] or feeling
[00:30:17] that perhaps
[00:30:19] we need
[00:30:19] something else
[00:30:20] when actually
[00:30:22] we don't
[00:30:22] we just need
[00:30:23] the water
[00:30:23] and then
[00:30:28] when you
[00:30:28] feel your
[00:30:29] throat
[00:30:29] nice and
[00:30:30] damp
[00:30:30] wet
[00:30:31] from the
[00:30:31] water
[00:30:32] and
[00:30:33] you've
[00:30:33] had a
[00:30:34] drink
[00:30:34] and
[00:30:34] everything
[00:30:35] feels
[00:30:36] much
[00:30:36] nicer
[00:30:37] and
[00:30:37] fresher
[00:30:41] and then
[00:30:42] you take
[00:30:42] a breath
[00:30:43] and it's
[00:30:47] only when you
[00:30:47] breathe
[00:30:48] that you
[00:30:48] realise
[00:30:48] what you
[00:30:49] need
[00:30:49] your lungs
[00:30:50] for
[00:30:50] I mean
[00:30:54] without
[00:30:54] you can't
[00:30:56] overplay
[00:30:57] as I say
[00:30:58] you can't
[00:30:59] overplay
[00:30:59] the
[00:31:00] importance
[00:31:01] of your
[00:31:02] importance
[00:31:02] of your
[00:31:03] lungs
[00:31:04] oh he's
[00:31:05] gonna lecture
[00:31:05] us about
[00:31:06] lungs
[00:31:06] now
[00:31:07] no I'm
[00:31:08] not
[00:31:08] I'm
[00:31:08] really
[00:31:09] not
[00:31:09] I'm
[00:31:10] kind of
[00:31:10] reminding
[00:31:11] myself
[00:31:11] to be
[00:31:12] fair
[00:31:12] they're
[00:31:16] just
[00:31:16] so
[00:31:17] important
[00:31:18] and what
[00:31:23] I noticed
[00:31:24] is
[00:31:25] when I
[00:31:28] stopped
[00:31:29] smoking
[00:31:30] I've
[00:31:31] stopped
[00:31:31] a few
[00:31:32] times
[00:31:32] over the
[00:31:32] years
[00:31:33] but the
[00:31:34] most recent
[00:31:35] time
[00:31:35] I noticed
[00:31:36] that
[00:31:38] within a
[00:31:39] short
[00:31:39] while
[00:31:39] and
[00:31:40] it
[00:31:41] didn't
[00:31:41] take
[00:31:41] long
[00:31:42] my
[00:31:43] lung
[00:31:44] capacity
[00:31:45] seemed
[00:31:45] to
[00:31:45] increase
[00:31:47] so I
[00:31:48] could
[00:31:48] take
[00:31:49] a breath
[00:31:50] and it
[00:31:51] was
[00:31:52] maybe
[00:31:54] maybe
[00:31:55] one
[00:31:56] fourth
[00:31:57] more
[00:31:57] than it
[00:31:58] was before
[00:31:59] it's hard
[00:32:00] to judge
[00:32:00] it really
[00:32:01] now my
[00:32:02] lung
[00:32:03] capacity
[00:32:03] is
[00:32:05] been
[00:32:05] fine
[00:32:06] I
[00:32:07] don't
[00:32:07] have
[00:32:08] COPD
[00:32:09] I
[00:32:09] don't
[00:32:09] have
[00:32:09] asthma
[00:32:10] I
[00:32:11] did
[00:32:11] get
[00:32:11] tested
[00:32:11] for
[00:32:12] asthma
[00:32:12] a
[00:32:12] few
[00:32:12] years
[00:32:13] ago
[00:32:13] when I
[00:32:13] was
[00:32:13] coughing
[00:32:14] but that
[00:32:15] was
[00:32:15] not
[00:32:16] asthma
[00:32:17] that
[00:32:18] was put
[00:32:18] down
[00:32:19] to
[00:32:19] stress
[00:32:20] can you
[00:32:20] believe
[00:32:21] I'd say
[00:32:22] a few
[00:32:22] years
[00:32:23] this was
[00:32:23] back
[00:32:23] in
[00:32:24] 2013
[00:32:25] I
[00:32:25] think
[00:32:27] 2014
[00:32:28] 2013
[00:32:30] so that's
[00:32:31] nine years
[00:32:31] ago
[00:32:32] blimey
[00:32:32] anyway
[00:32:33] as we
[00:32:39] get older
[00:32:39] our lung
[00:32:43] capacity
[00:32:44] reduces
[00:32:45] a bit
[00:32:45] it's
[00:32:46] just
[00:32:46] an age
[00:32:47] thing
[00:32:48] it's
[00:32:49] nothing
[00:32:49] I mean
[00:32:50] you know
[00:32:50] there's
[00:32:51] nothing
[00:32:51] we can
[00:32:51] do
[00:32:51] about
[00:32:51] it
[00:32:52] really
[00:32:53] it's
[00:32:53] just
[00:32:53] I mean
[00:32:54] I guess
[00:32:55] it happens
[00:32:56] less in
[00:32:56] people that
[00:32:57] are super
[00:32:57] fit
[00:33:00] but it's
[00:33:01] natural
[00:33:02] it's just
[00:33:03] a natural
[00:33:03] thing that
[00:33:03] happens
[00:33:04] with age
[00:33:06] just
[00:33:07] like
[00:33:08] I
[00:33:10] now
[00:33:10] look
[00:33:11] very much
[00:33:12] like
[00:33:12] George
[00:33:12] Clooney
[00:33:14] because
[00:33:14] I've
[00:33:15] become
[00:33:15] super
[00:33:15] handsome
[00:33:16] as I
[00:33:16] got
[00:33:16] older
[00:33:17] it's
[00:33:18] just
[00:33:18] one of
[00:33:18] those
[00:33:19] weird
[00:33:19] things
[00:33:20] that
[00:33:20] just
[00:33:20] happens
[00:33:22] yeah
[00:33:23] I wish
[00:33:25] so
[00:33:26] when
[00:33:27] people
[00:33:27] smoke
[00:33:28] when
[00:33:28] they're
[00:33:28] younger
[00:33:28] their
[00:33:32] lung
[00:33:32] capacity
[00:33:32] is
[00:33:33] large
[00:33:34] anyway
[00:33:35] because
[00:33:35] they're
[00:33:36] young
[00:33:37] so
[00:33:38] they
[00:33:38] don't
[00:33:38] notice
[00:33:39] it
[00:33:39] so
[00:33:40] much
[00:33:40] and
[00:33:43] when
[00:33:43] they
[00:33:43] stop
[00:33:43] smoking
[00:33:44] they
[00:33:44] might
[00:33:44] notice
[00:33:45] it
[00:33:45] but
[00:33:45] they
[00:33:45] might
[00:33:45] not
[00:33:46] because
[00:33:46] their
[00:33:47] lung
[00:33:47] capacity
[00:33:47] is
[00:33:48] large
[00:33:49] anyway
[00:33:49] but
[00:33:52] when
[00:33:52] you're
[00:33:52] older
[00:33:53] middle
[00:33:54] aged
[00:33:54] maybe
[00:33:55] maybe
[00:33:56] in
[00:33:56] 30s
[00:33:57] even
[00:33:59] late
[00:34:00] 20s
[00:34:01] 50s
[00:34:02] it
[00:34:03] doesn't
[00:34:03] matter
[00:34:03] when
[00:34:03] what
[00:34:04] age
[00:34:04] you
[00:34:04] are
[00:34:05] you
[00:34:10] can
[00:34:10] really
[00:34:11] notice
[00:34:11] the
[00:34:11] difference
[00:34:13] after
[00:34:14] stopping
[00:34:16] out
[00:34:17] may
[00:34:17] be
[00:34:18] listening
[00:34:18] to
[00:34:18] this
[00:34:18] and
[00:34:18] agree
[00:34:19] with
[00:34:19] me
[00:34:19] on
[00:34:19] that
[00:34:19] one
[00:34:23] and
[00:34:25] I
[00:34:26] think
[00:34:26] it's
[00:34:26] worth
[00:34:27] remembering
[00:34:27] as
[00:34:27] well
[00:34:27] it
[00:34:28] might
[00:34:29] just
[00:34:29] be
[00:34:29] me
[00:34:29] but
[00:34:30] I
[00:34:30] don't
[00:34:30] think
[00:34:30] it
[00:34:30] is
[00:34:31] is
[00:34:32] breathing
[00:34:32] through
[00:34:32] your mouth
[00:34:33] you can
[00:34:33] get more
[00:34:34] oxygen
[00:34:34] than
[00:34:35] breathing
[00:34:35] through
[00:34:35] your nose
[00:34:36] Now, for me, that's an obvious thing.
[00:34:39] Unless you've got caves for nostrils,
[00:34:45] unless you've got the biggest, massivest nostrils in the world.
[00:34:51] I've got the biggest nose in the world, but my nostrils aren't that big.
[00:34:55] You're still not going to breathe in as much as you will do from your mouth.
[00:35:01] It just is more coming in.
[00:35:04] Now, a way to reduce anxiety is to stop breathing through your mouth
[00:35:15] and only breathe through your nose for a while
[00:35:20] because that does the equivalent of breathing into a bag.
[00:35:26] You know, people that hyperventilate due to stress, anxiety, tension.
[00:35:34] So, breathing through your nose slowly is the equivalent of breathing into one of those bags
[00:35:42] because there's a limit to how much you can breathe in when you breathe through your nose.
[00:35:57] Unlike when you breathe through your mouth, it's almost like you can breathe so much more in quicker.
[00:36:04] It might be the same amount but slower for your nose.
[00:36:08] But with your mouth, it's just all at once.
[00:36:10] So, when you're trying to calm down,
[00:36:19] one thing is when you wish to slow down your thoughts, your mind,
[00:36:27] especially in those moments when maybe you were thinking of going backwards,
[00:36:33] taking a backwards step,
[00:36:35] instead of moving forward towards the kind of healthy, happy future that you really do want for yourself.
[00:36:45] You can breathe through your nose.
[00:36:49] Close your mouth.
[00:36:50] Breathe through your nose slowly.
[00:36:57] In and then out.
[00:37:01] And you can breathe through your nose.
[00:37:02] And even if you feel like you're not getting the amount of oxygen that you want,
[00:37:09] like you would do if you were breathing through your mouth,
[00:37:12] just accept the amount you're getting because you know you're okay.
[00:37:16] You know.
[00:37:17] It's only a problem if no oxygen is coming in or no oxygen is leaving.
[00:37:23] It's leaving.
[00:37:26] Or whatever the different compounds of that air is.
[00:37:33] But you know what I mean.
[00:37:34] The air is going in.
[00:37:35] The air is going out.
[00:37:48] Because it's very hard to breathe really quickly through your nose.
[00:37:53] In fact, it takes a bit of...
[00:37:56] It would take a bit of practice to actually learn to do it.
[00:37:59] So, we don't naturally do that.
[00:38:03] But we do sometimes,
[00:38:05] in the event of a problematic situation
[00:38:12] or thinking negatively,
[00:38:16] anxiously,
[00:38:18] over-breathe.
[00:38:20] Breathing too much.
[00:38:23] Which then floods the blood system,
[00:38:26] the bloodstream,
[00:38:27] the brain.
[00:38:28] It would just too much happening.
[00:38:33] Too much stimulation.
[00:38:37] Which is why when you close your mouth,
[00:38:39] you just breathe through your nose for a bit.
[00:38:40] It allows you to...
[00:38:45] Remember what your decision is.
[00:38:50] Remember that living your life as a non-smoker
[00:38:54] is what you've decided.
[00:38:58] And...
[00:39:01] Even if listening to these recordings
[00:39:04] every now and then
[00:39:05] just is a little top-up
[00:39:07] to remind yourself
[00:39:10] why
[00:39:12] you've decided
[00:39:15] to
[00:39:18] live your life.
[00:39:20] In fact, you could say
[00:39:21] you decided life.
[00:39:24] Decided to choose life.
[00:39:26] I know it's an old slogan.
[00:39:28] But it's very valid, really.
[00:39:32] Or you've decided to choose breath.
[00:39:36] Decided to choose breathing.
[00:39:41] And also, in a way,
[00:39:43] and I just thought about this,
[00:39:45] it's not very fair on your lungs,
[00:39:48] is it?
[00:39:49] To be smoking anyway.
[00:39:52] Because your lungs don't have a say.
[00:39:56] If you actually asked
[00:39:58] your lungs directly,
[00:40:00] what do you think
[00:40:01] their answer would be?
[00:40:04] Because that would be
[00:40:05] the equivalent of
[00:40:09] asking your knee,
[00:40:12] your right or left knee,
[00:40:14] is it okay if I hit you with a hammer
[00:40:16] really hard?
[00:40:21] Or to say to your toes,
[00:40:23] is it okay if I take my shoes off
[00:40:25] and kick a brick wall
[00:40:27] with my bare feet,
[00:40:28] with my toes?
[00:40:30] Is it alright if I do that?
[00:40:31] Are you okay with that?
[00:40:33] Well, they're going to say no.
[00:40:34] No, you didn't find my okay all day.
[00:40:37] Are you crazy?
[00:40:38] Of course I'm not okay with that.
[00:40:40] Put your socks on,
[00:40:42] put your shoes on
[00:40:43] and go back inside.
[00:40:45] What on earth are you on about?
[00:40:47] Is it okay?
[00:40:49] No, it's not okay.
[00:40:52] What's wrong with you?
[00:40:55] When would it ever be okay
[00:40:58] to hit your knee with a hammer?
[00:41:00] It's not okay.
[00:41:03] You think your knee's going to say,
[00:41:05] yeah man,
[00:41:05] that's fine,
[00:41:06] yeah,
[00:41:06] go ahead.
[00:41:08] Should be,
[00:41:08] should be a laugh.
[00:41:10] No.
[00:41:12] Your knee's going to say no.
[00:41:14] And if you attempt that,
[00:41:15] I'm going to hit you in the head.
[00:41:17] I'm going to knee you in the face.
[00:41:20] You ain't hitting me with a hammer.
[00:41:24] So,
[00:41:26] pretty sure,
[00:41:28] pretty,
[00:41:29] pretty,
[00:41:30] pretty sure,
[00:41:31] that if you is to actually
[00:41:33] ask your lungs
[00:41:35] what they think
[00:41:41] about the idea of you smoking.
[00:41:47] So,
[00:41:47] I thought it'd be quite nice
[00:41:48] if we did that now.
[00:41:50] So,
[00:41:51] if your eyes aren't closed,
[00:41:52] close your eyes
[00:41:55] and just imagine
[00:41:56] you're in a room.
[00:41:58] You're talking to your lungs
[00:42:03] and just ask your lungs
[00:42:08] and you could just base it,
[00:42:09] how do you feel
[00:42:11] about me smoking?
[00:42:22] And just notice your lungs,
[00:42:24] focus your lungs
[00:42:24] and just get an idea
[00:42:26] of what they would say to you.
[00:42:28] Maybe you can hear it
[00:42:34] or you could just basically say
[00:42:36] to your lungs,
[00:42:38] do you want me to smoke?
[00:42:39] Yes or no?
[00:43:01] It's weird when I did that.
[00:43:02] My lungs started filling up with air.
[00:43:05] I was like,
[00:43:08] almost,
[00:43:09] um,
[00:43:12] just to
[00:43:14] enjoy doing it.
[00:43:17] Just to
[00:43:18] enjoy the ability
[00:43:20] to
[00:43:22] be pretty much
[00:43:24] at full capacity
[00:43:25] for my age.
[00:43:29] I don't know what
[00:43:30] full capacity would be
[00:43:31] if I was 20,
[00:43:32] but
[00:43:33] it feels fairly full.
[00:43:42] What do your lungs
[00:43:43] say to you?
[00:43:51] Because basically,
[00:43:52] if you think about it,
[00:43:56] it's like hanging
[00:43:57] your lungs up
[00:43:58] and then using them
[00:44:02] as punch bags
[00:44:02] every day.
[00:44:07] You know,
[00:44:08] is that okay
[00:44:08] if I use you
[00:44:09] as a punch bag?
[00:44:10] Ask your lungs that.
[00:44:11] Is that okay
[00:44:11] if I lose you
[00:44:12] as a punch bag?
[00:44:14] What do you think
[00:44:15] they're going to say?
[00:44:17] No!
[00:44:18] You can't use me
[00:44:19] as a punch bag.
[00:44:20] What kind of,
[00:44:21] what are you on about?
[00:44:24] Leave me alone.
[00:44:30] That's the thing.
[00:44:31] Smokers,
[00:44:31] they're forcing their lungs
[00:44:33] to inhale that stuff.
[00:44:35] They're not getting permission.
[00:44:37] They're not asking
[00:44:38] permission to do that.
[00:44:42] They're just doing it,
[00:44:43] going ahead.
[00:44:44] completely
[00:44:48] oblivious,
[00:44:49] actually,
[00:44:50] to the fact that
[00:44:52] they haven't asked
[00:44:53] permission.
[00:44:54] They haven't considered
[00:44:56] how their lungs feel.
[00:45:01] This part
[00:45:02] that's,
[00:45:04] well,
[00:45:05] it's among the most
[00:45:06] important part
[00:45:06] of our entire body
[00:45:09] without which
[00:45:10] we die.
[00:45:11] You know,
[00:45:12] we can't,
[00:45:12] we can't live
[00:45:13] without a heart.
[00:45:14] We can't live
[00:45:14] without lungs.
[00:45:17] We can live
[00:45:18] on a ventilator
[00:45:19] in a machine,
[00:45:19] you know,
[00:45:20] on a machine
[00:45:20] in a hospital
[00:45:23] for a period
[00:45:23] of time,
[00:45:24] I guess.
[00:45:28] But,
[00:45:28] you know,
[00:45:29] outside of that
[00:45:32] situation,
[00:45:37] I guess what I'm saying
[00:45:38] is lungs are
[00:45:39] pretty important.
[00:45:40] A bit more important
[00:45:41] than toenails.
[00:45:42] That's all.
[00:45:46] Yeah,
[00:45:46] if you said to your fingers,
[00:45:47] I'd like to pull
[00:45:48] my fingernails out,
[00:45:49] is that okay?
[00:45:50] No,
[00:45:50] it's not okay.
[00:45:51] Leave me alone.
[00:45:52] I don't want you
[00:45:53] pulling my fingernails out.
[00:45:57] Yeah,
[00:45:58] pulling the fingernails out
[00:45:59] is nothing
[00:46:00] compared to smoking.
[00:46:02] It's going to cause
[00:46:03] a bit of damage.
[00:46:04] It's going to be painful.
[00:46:06] But long-term damage,
[00:46:08] not nothing.
[00:46:13] It's weird,
[00:46:14] isn't it?
[00:46:16] It's almost like
[00:46:17] because the pain
[00:46:19] comes later,
[00:46:20] it doesn't matter.
[00:46:23] But if someone
[00:46:24] said to you,
[00:46:25] you know,
[00:46:25] here's the most
[00:46:28] delicious
[00:46:31] food
[00:46:32] or dessert
[00:46:33] you'll ever
[00:46:34] taste in your life,
[00:46:36] so you might
[00:46:36] like ice cream
[00:46:37] or you might
[00:46:38] like burgers
[00:46:39] or you might,
[00:46:40] there's something
[00:46:40] that you like.
[00:46:41] You might like
[00:46:41] curry
[00:46:42] and they said here
[00:46:43] and they presented
[00:46:44] this to you
[00:46:44] and said,
[00:46:44] this is the best
[00:46:45] you will ever
[00:46:47] taste.
[00:46:49] The best
[00:46:50] and if it's not
[00:46:51] the best,
[00:46:52] I will give you
[00:46:53] ÂŁ10,000
[00:46:55] cash
[00:46:55] or $10,000
[00:46:57] whoops,
[00:46:58] banging there.
[00:46:58] I will give you
[00:46:59] a new desk
[00:47:00] that doesn't
[00:47:01] squeak
[00:47:02] and I'll give it
[00:47:03] to you now
[00:47:04] if you tell
[00:47:05] me you don't
[00:47:06] enjoy this.
[00:47:07] It's the best
[00:47:10] tasting thing
[00:47:11] in the world.
[00:47:11] It's yours
[00:47:12] for free
[00:47:13] and you can
[00:47:14] eat it
[00:47:14] right now.
[00:47:22] And you say,
[00:47:23] okay.
[00:47:23] And they say,
[00:47:24] before you do,
[00:47:26] before you do
[00:47:27] that,
[00:47:28] it's going to
[00:47:29] give you
[00:47:29] constipation
[00:47:30] and you're
[00:47:34] going to be
[00:47:35] constipated
[00:47:37] for about
[00:47:37] two weeks
[00:47:42] and eventually
[00:47:43] when you do
[00:47:44] manage to do
[00:47:45] a poo,
[00:47:45] it's going to
[00:47:46] damage you.
[00:47:47] It's going to
[00:47:47] rip you to bits
[00:47:50] and it's
[00:47:51] going to
[00:47:52] take,
[00:47:53] you'll still
[00:47:54] feel the
[00:47:54] after effects
[00:47:55] after a year.
[00:47:58] Sounds like
[00:47:58] someone was
[00:47:59] constipated
[00:47:59] last year.
[00:48:00] Could it have
[00:48:01] been me?
[00:48:01] Maybe.
[00:48:03] Would you
[00:48:04] still take it?
[00:48:05] Would you say,
[00:48:05] yeah,
[00:48:05] I'll have the
[00:48:06] ice cream
[00:48:06] or that dessert
[00:48:10] or would you
[00:48:10] say,
[00:48:11] no,
[00:48:11] I don't want
[00:48:12] constipated?
[00:48:17] What if they
[00:48:18] said,
[00:48:18] well,
[00:48:18] you'll be fine
[00:48:20] but you
[00:48:22] will be
[00:48:23] constipated
[00:48:24] in five
[00:48:26] years time
[00:48:28] and it'll
[00:48:28] be so,
[00:48:29] it'll be
[00:48:29] really,
[00:48:29] really bad
[00:48:30] but it's
[00:48:31] not for
[00:48:31] five years.
[00:48:33] Just for
[00:48:34] the sake
[00:48:34] of eating
[00:48:35] an ice cream
[00:48:35] or just,
[00:48:36] no,
[00:48:38] no,
[00:48:38] you're
[00:48:38] alright.
[00:48:43] You know,
[00:48:43] I used to
[00:48:44] have the
[00:48:45] mentality
[00:48:46] when I
[00:48:46] was a
[00:48:46] kid,
[00:48:48] when I
[00:48:49] was in
[00:48:49] my early
[00:48:49] twenties
[00:48:50] maybe,
[00:48:52] and I
[00:48:55] used to
[00:48:55] think,
[00:48:56] well,
[00:48:58] it doesn't
[00:48:59] matter what
[00:48:59] happens when
[00:49:00] I'm in my
[00:49:01] sixties,
[00:49:01] I don't care
[00:49:02] about that
[00:49:03] but now
[00:49:09] I'm 52,
[00:49:11] my attitude
[00:49:12] seems to
[00:49:13] has changed
[00:49:13] somewhat
[00:49:14] and if you
[00:49:22] do,
[00:49:23] if you're
[00:49:23] lucky enough
[00:49:24] to get to
[00:49:25] 50 or
[00:49:25] 60 or
[00:49:26] 70 or
[00:49:27] 80,
[00:49:29] that's,
[00:49:31] you know,
[00:49:31] there is a
[00:49:32] lot of luck
[00:49:33] on your
[00:49:33] side to
[00:49:34] accomplish
[00:49:34] that.
[00:49:38] So,
[00:49:39] it kind
[00:49:44] of makes
[00:49:45] sense to,
[00:49:48] but at the
[00:49:49] same time,
[00:49:51] with the
[00:49:52] longevity and
[00:49:53] the medicine
[00:49:54] these days,
[00:49:56] but no one
[00:49:57] wants to be
[00:49:57] 90 and be
[00:49:58] ill,
[00:49:59] no one
[00:49:59] wants to be
[00:49:59] 80 and
[00:50:00] be ill,
[00:50:01] or 70,
[00:50:02] they want to
[00:50:03] be physically
[00:50:04] fit,
[00:50:07] especially if
[00:50:08] you've got
[00:50:08] grandchildren,
[00:50:10] great-grandchildren,
[00:50:12] you know,
[00:50:13] you want to
[00:50:13] be able to
[00:50:13] enjoy being
[00:50:15] around them,
[00:50:16] not be stuck
[00:50:17] in a chair
[00:50:18] just looking at
[00:50:18] them.
[00:50:29] I think one of
[00:50:30] the good things
[00:50:31] about making
[00:50:32] a change in
[00:50:33] your life,
[00:50:34] it's not even,
[00:50:35] it's not even
[00:50:36] so much,
[00:50:37] I don't think
[00:50:37] about the
[00:50:44] topic so much,
[00:50:45] even,
[00:50:45] you know,
[00:50:45] whether it's
[00:50:46] smoking or
[00:50:47] drinking,
[00:50:48] it's a
[00:50:49] psychological
[00:50:51] breakthrough.
[00:50:53] So if you
[00:50:55] choose to
[00:50:56] stop doing
[00:50:57] something,
[00:50:58] or you
[00:50:59] choose to
[00:50:59] continue down
[00:51:01] a path of
[00:51:02] recovery,
[00:51:03] or feeling
[00:51:07] better about
[00:51:07] yourself,
[00:51:12] things change,
[00:51:14] things have
[00:51:15] changed,
[00:51:16] your attitude
[00:51:17] changes,
[00:51:30] something in
[00:51:31] your brain
[00:51:31] changes,
[00:51:33] and whether
[00:51:33] it's drugs,
[00:51:34] or it's
[00:51:34] alcohol,
[00:51:35] whether it's
[00:51:35] cigarettes,
[00:51:37] whether it's
[00:51:40] gambling even,
[00:51:41] you know,
[00:51:41] it could be
[00:51:41] lots of different
[00:51:42] things that,
[00:51:43] because gambling
[00:51:44] can ruin
[00:51:45] someone's life
[00:51:46] quicker than
[00:51:47] crack,
[00:51:50] and someone
[00:51:51] can,
[00:51:52] their whole
[00:51:52] life can be
[00:51:53] ruined in,
[00:51:54] you know,
[00:51:54] an hour,
[00:51:55] ten minutes
[00:51:56] even,
[00:51:58] you know,
[00:51:59] they could lose
[00:51:59] everything.
[00:52:01] So,
[00:52:02] when you
[00:52:08] choose to
[00:52:10] make a
[00:52:10] difference,
[00:52:11] when you
[00:52:12] choose to,
[00:52:15] to remember
[00:52:18] that every
[00:52:19] second of
[00:52:19] every day,
[00:52:20] you choose
[00:52:20] what you
[00:52:20] do next,
[00:52:21] when you
[00:52:22] choose to
[00:52:22] remember
[00:52:23] that,
[00:52:26] and no
[00:52:28] one's
[00:52:28] forcing you
[00:52:31] to do
[00:52:31] anything,
[00:52:34] of course,
[00:52:35] if you,
[00:52:36] you know,
[00:52:37] someone's like
[00:52:38] your boss,
[00:52:38] or whatever,
[00:52:39] says do that
[00:52:40] thing,
[00:52:40] and you say
[00:52:40] no,
[00:52:41] then there's
[00:52:42] consequences,
[00:52:43] there's always
[00:52:43] consequences anyway,
[00:52:45] there's consequences
[00:52:46] if you do what
[00:52:46] the boss says,
[00:52:47] or if you don't
[00:52:48] do what the
[00:52:49] boss says,
[00:52:50] it's a case
[00:52:51] of choosing,
[00:52:53] you know,
[00:52:54] if you say
[00:52:54] no,
[00:52:55] you may lose
[00:52:55] your job,
[00:52:57] so there,
[00:52:58] you know,
[00:52:58] that's one of
[00:52:59] those things,
[00:52:59] and then there's
[00:53:00] the roll-on effect
[00:53:00] from that,
[00:53:02] but then if
[00:53:03] your boss is
[00:53:04] telling you to
[00:53:04] do something
[00:53:05] that is immoral,
[00:53:06] or it goes
[00:53:07] against your
[00:53:08] moral compass,
[00:53:12] then that's
[00:53:13] potentially a
[00:53:14] different thing,
[00:53:28] so this,
[00:53:30] let me bore
[00:53:31] your addiction
[00:53:32] away,
[00:53:34] I think that's
[00:53:35] what I'm going
[00:53:35] to call it,
[00:53:36] I'm not going
[00:53:37] to focus maybe
[00:53:38] just on cigarettes,
[00:53:41] because smoking
[00:53:42] is an addiction,
[00:53:43] it is,
[00:53:44] anyone that says
[00:53:45] it isn't,
[00:53:46] is just lying,
[00:53:48] some people can
[00:53:49] smoke,
[00:53:54] some people can
[00:53:55] smoke,
[00:53:56] and every now
[00:53:56] and then have
[00:53:57] a cigarette,
[00:53:59] most people
[00:54:00] can't,
[00:54:01] and I'm sticking
[00:54:02] to that,
[00:54:03] now,
[00:54:05] I may be
[00:54:06] wrong,
[00:54:08] but I've been
[00:54:09] around,
[00:54:10] and I've not
[00:54:12] really known
[00:54:13] many people
[00:54:13] that can take,
[00:54:15] I've known a
[00:54:16] few,
[00:54:16] that,
[00:54:17] you know,
[00:54:17] aren't so
[00:54:18] bothered,
[00:54:23] but I've known
[00:54:24] more that
[00:54:25] really,
[00:54:27] you know,
[00:54:27] smoking is
[00:54:29] there,
[00:54:30] you know,
[00:54:31] it's important,
[00:54:33] and it's a
[00:54:34] different type
[00:54:35] of addiction,
[00:54:36] you know,
[00:54:36] it's,
[00:54:37] I don't
[00:54:38] think anyone
[00:54:39] has ever
[00:54:40] broken into
[00:54:40] someone's
[00:54:41] house,
[00:54:43] because they
[00:54:44] needed money
[00:54:44] for cigarettes,
[00:54:47] so it's a
[00:54:48] different kind
[00:54:48] of thing,
[00:54:49] doesn't send
[00:54:50] the person,
[00:54:55] doesn't,
[00:54:57] unlike crack
[00:54:58] or heroin,
[00:54:59] and even,
[00:55:01] or any drugs
[00:55:02] really these
[00:55:03] days,
[00:55:05] it doesn't
[00:55:06] cause the
[00:55:08] person's brain
[00:55:09] to be delusional,
[00:55:14] smoking is
[00:55:15] almost one of
[00:55:15] those things
[00:55:15] that doesn't
[00:55:17] seem to really
[00:55:17] affect the
[00:55:18] brain,
[00:55:18] other than
[00:55:19] the needs
[00:55:20] to do it,
[00:55:22] and the
[00:55:22] connections with
[00:55:23] smoking and
[00:55:24] doing different
[00:55:25] things,
[00:55:28] but I think
[00:55:29] it might be
[00:55:29] good to let
[00:55:30] that,
[00:55:32] addictions
[00:55:32] go,
[00:55:36] let me
[00:55:36] bore your
[00:55:36] addictions
[00:55:37] away,
[00:55:38] I don't
[00:55:38] know,
[00:55:39] maybe I'll
[00:55:39] just keep
[00:55:40] it as
[00:55:40] smoking,
[00:55:41] who knows,
[00:55:43] I won't
[00:55:44] decide until
[00:55:44] I've been
[00:55:45] to the
[00:55:45] toilet,
[00:55:47] so thank
[00:55:48] you for
[00:55:48] listening,
[00:55:49] and as I
[00:55:49] said before,
[00:55:51] this is one
[00:55:52] of those weird
[00:55:52] kind of
[00:55:53] recordings where,
[00:55:55] it's not
[00:55:56] necessarily weird,
[00:55:57] but you
[00:55:57] choose,
[00:56:00] and you
[00:56:00] notice,
[00:56:01] and you
[00:56:01] focus,
[00:56:02] and you
[00:56:03] realise,
[00:56:04] how you're
[00:56:05] feeling,
[00:56:11] and that
[00:56:11] question,
[00:56:12] do you
[00:56:12] feel better
[00:56:13] now than
[00:56:14] you did
[00:56:15] before you
[00:56:16] decided to
[00:56:17] listen to
[00:56:17] me,
[00:56:18] do you
[00:56:19] feel more
[00:56:20] optimistic,
[00:56:21] more positive,
[00:56:23] to stop
[00:56:25] smoking,
[00:56:25] or to
[00:56:25] continue,
[00:56:27] down that
[00:56:28] road of
[00:56:29] a healthy
[00:56:31] lifestyle,
[00:56:36] so remember
[00:56:37] to be kind
[00:56:37] to yourself,
[00:56:38] because you
[00:56:39] deserve to be
[00:56:40] happy,
[00:56:41] be gentle
[00:56:41] with yourself,
[00:56:45] lots of love,
