You repeated the actions and received that hit of dopamine many, many times every day, in a multitude of situations.  You hid from bad moments, celebrated good ones.  You smoked when you were happy or hungry, or angry, or bored or lonely or tired or stressed, or mellow.   Think about all the times you smoked - and you will understand that only time can give you the distance necessary to overcome this addiction.

You WILL get there,  and trust me, it's SO worth it!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
