AMORMOTOR Tobacco — book cover
Premier de la série

— April 17, 2026

Concretely, that day, I was in my bedroom. I'd just smoked. I closed my eyes. And in a few minutes, seventeen years of habit started falling away.

No patches. No psychoanalysis. No unkeepable promise. By love. A palpable love for something that hadn't yet arrived.

I know that phrase can sound naive. But this book makes it concrete, step by step.

AMORMOTOR isn't a book that tells you how to quit. It's a book that lets you find for yourself what will make you quit.

Here's the mechanic: your brain uses exactly the same circuits to remember a place you've been and to imagine a place you haven't yet been. Same for what you've lived and what you dream of living. This identity of circuits is memory-in-advance. Bring it back to the present, and you become, literally, the person you imagined.

You won't be a smoker who quit smoking.

You'll simply become someone who doesn't smoke.

— Jean-Philippe

April 17 · 2026 — The pivot

It was an ordinary evening.

Concretely, that day, I was in my bedroom. I had just smoked a CBD joint, to be straight with you. And it's important I tell you that, because I don't want to sell you a clean, calibrated scene where I'd meditated for an hour and the enlightenment had arrived. It's not that.

I close my eyes. And I ask myself a simple question, not spiritual, not therapeutic. Just:

what am I living right now, and what do I want to live later?

That's it. No protocol. No counted belly breathing. No “I will now project myself five years out.” The question came, and I let what came, come.

And there, I see myself in a magnificent villa. Marble on the floor. Huge bay windows. I'm on a very comfortable couch. And in my arms, I have what I believe to be my wife and my children. A bit blurry as a sensation — their faces aren't sharp, I couldn't draw them for you. But what's sharp is my place. The couch. The arms around them. The light coming in through the bay windows. And in my chest, something precise — not a vague emotion, not a generic “I feel good.” Something localized, in the heart, that weighs and warms at the same time.

You know, when we imagine our future, normally it's cerebral. “I want a house, a family, free time.” Shopping list. There, it wasn't a list. It was a place. A place where I already was.

And I feel a love I have never felt in my life. And especially — that's what struck me — I haven't fallen in love in a good 10 years. 10 years without my heart really beating for someone. So I'll just tell you, it was intense.

About the author

I'm not a therapist.

I don't write after winning. I write while living these quits.

  • — Quit Tobacco — after 17 years.
  • — Quit Alcohol — sober, holding.
  • — In progress Sugar — documented live in the journal.

Born in 1992 in Abidjan. Lives in France. The book draws on peer-reviewed sources and personal experience. It vouches for nothing it can't show. It points to professionals when professionals are what's needed. The rest, it walks with you.
