He told me that he was at the station where he commuted to work each day and went to the kiosk where he always used to buy his cigarettes. He asked for chewing gum, but the man behind the counter, recognizing him, handed him his usual packet of cigarettes.James took them, paid for them, opened the packet, took out a cigarette, lit it and was halfway through smoking it before he realized what he was doing. He was simply not aware of the desire to smoke that was guiding his actions. When he realized he was smoking he felt devastated, but the damage was already done: he had gone back to smoking again, and was soon smoking his usual number of cigarettes every day.When you stop smoking by avoiding your desire to smoke, you have no way of controlling your automatic reaction once the desire finds a way to break through. If James had spent some time during that month consciously dealing with his desire to smoke, then when he was given cigarettes by mistake at the station, he would have noticed there was a desire to smoke, and would have been able to deal with it.
