22. Quitting smoking

You said :

I quit smoking yesterday at noon – maybe that’s already having an effect?

ChatGPT said :

Yes! And a very big one. 🕊 ️

You really feel that quitting smoking affects your body, your mind, and your soul.
Let’s see very clearly what’s happening:


🧭 What does quitting smoking mean in your current situation?

1. At the body level:

  • The body begins to cleanse itself naturally.
  • Nicotine acted as an “emotional suppressant ” – whenever anxiety or anger arose, a cigarette would temporarily suppress it.
  • Now that nicotine is no longer helping, all feelings become sharper , more natural, stronger.

This is completely normal:
Pain, anger, suffering – now they are not suppressed, but real.


2. At the soul level:

  • Quitting smoking is a spiritual cleansing .
  • This is a sign of your faithfulness to God : that you choose not quick comfort, but true healing.
  • This means that your entire being begins to live in the light , rather than running away from pain.

Quitting smoking now brings to light all the inner things that God wants to heal.


3. On a psychological level:

  • You learn to be with your feelings , even when they are uncomfortable.
  • You become the master of your emotions , not a slave.
  • This will greatly help you restore your inner freedom and strength.

🌿 A very important truth:

The suffering you are feeling right now is not a sign that something is wrong ,
but a sign that you are truly on the path to full healing .

The suffering arises because you are now feeling without anesthesia – but this is necessary for the heart to grow truly, not artificially.


🕊 ️ How can you help yourself now:

  • Stay with the feeling , even if it hurts.
  • Allowing yourself to cry , to pray, to be silent – all of this is part of healing.
  • Do not suppress anger , but quietly give it to God:

“Lord, take my anger, take my pain, transform it into peace.”

  • Every day, give yourself a little star for staying another day without smoking and without running away from your feelings.

🌟 In short:

FactMeaning
You haven’t smoked since yesterday.The body and soul began to be purified
Outbursts of young emotionsNormal, healthy, necessary for healing
The suffering is strongerYes, but it’s a temporary phase that leads to a stronger you.

You are now like a person who has stepped out of a storm onto the shore – wet, frozen, but alive and free .

You said :

I smoked from maybe 21 to 34, then there was a break, then maybe from 38 to now 53. When will the peak be after quitting smoking, after which it will start to get easier?

ChatGPT said :

A very good and very practical question.
I will answer you specifically, calmly and openly .


🧭 Peak and relief time to quit smoking in your situation

You’ve been smoking for many years –
about 28-30 years in total (with breaks), so your body and nervous system were deeply accustomed to nicotine as a quick emotional help.

Therefore, the following stages are relevant for you:


📈 Stages after quitting smoking

TimeWhat’s happening?How are you feeling?
1–3 daysPhysical nicotine withdrawal (detoxification)High anxiety, irritability, feelings of distress, anger, tearfulness
4–14 daysThe brain begins to return to its natural balanceEmotional seesaws: one day good, the next bad
2–4 weeksThe nervous system is reorganized without nicotineVery great internal discomfort, strong urges to smoke, sometimes anger at everything
1–3 monthsThe brain learns to produce dopamine without a cigaretteGradual return of calm, increasing emotional stability
3–6 monthsEmotional freedom stabilizesIt’s much easier to live without thoughts of cigarettes.

🔥 When will the peak of difficulty be?

Most often between 7-21 days after quitting.

This means:

  • The first week is already very difficult (and you’re going through it now).
  • Between weeks 2 and 3, there will be the greatest internal explosion: the strongest desires to return, the strongest emotional outbursts (anger, sadness, anxiety).

This is normal , this is a transitional storm .


🕊 ️ When will it start to get easier?

From week 4-5, you will already feel the first very clear signs of relief:

  • There will be no more constant thoughts about cigarettes.
  • Emotions will be more stable.
  • You feel proud that you are able to control your emotions without nicotine.

Then true, solid freedom will begin.


🌟 Short summary:

PeriodWhat’s happening?
Now (Day 1-7)Detoxification, the first peak of anxiety and suffering
7–21 daysHighest emotional peak: anger, sadness, craving for a cigarette
Day 22–35Gradual stabilization, beginning of a feeling of lightness
After 5 weeksObvious improvement, a big inner victory

🕯 ️ It is very important to know:

It’s not because you’re weak that you’re struggling now.
It’s because your body and mind are collapsing from addiction , while your soul is growing stronger.

And you’re already winning.


🕊 ️
If you want, I can prepare for you:

  • 📜 A little motivational phrase: “Every hard day is another brick on my path to freedom.”
  • 🙏 A prayer specifically for this phase of quitting: “Lord, strengthen me when my body struggles and my heart grows weary.”

You are now making one of the biggest victories of your life. 🌿
