I love the “mirage” reference Coach! It brought back a memory for me when I was in my twenties and addicted to smoking. I had realized that my brain was tricking me into thinking I needed to smoke: light up and things will change, you will feel better! Every time that I lit up it was evident that the promise was fake! That smoke wasn’t making me feel any better. It’s kinda disgusting; it stinks up the room, my clothes, hands and breath and just like the 60,000 cigarettes before it, it was no better than the one before it! And on top of everything it’s also making me poorer every day!
Once I fully grasped all that, I quit and haven’t had one to this day! That was 41 years ago!
