I am going to keep sticking!!
That is what I want to be - a determined soul with firm resolve. Has there been any discussion on this subject? I am very curious because the first time I quit smoking that is exactly what I was. I was the absolute portrait of firmly resolved. Quiting was practically easy. Any time I had a craving, I simply reminded myself I had quit and smiled. At one point, after 6 months quit, I walked by a group of people that were smoking. The smell of the smoke had no effect on me. I knew that I had absolutely no desire to smoke, and I was so happy. That was a few years ago, and I was drinking quite a lot then which is what I attribute my slip to. I quit drinking when I slipped so that I could quit again and never slip, but I have struggled to hold onto any quit for more than 36 or 48 hours..... until now. I am 9 days. The difference between now and those other failures is education. For example, I now know I am an addict that required nicotine feedings every 30 minutes or so. I can no long fool myself into thinking I enjoyed smoking. I was simply enjoying having the craving removed by a cigarette. So why is this so hard? I do not drink, so I do not have that pitfall in my path, yet I have trouble feeling like a non-smoker. I am definitely resolved to hang on to this quit, I just wish it was less tiresome as I spend way too much time thinking about smoking every day.
Amen
