How did I possibly stop obsessing about cigarettes long enough to forget that I had a BIG ANNIVERSARY??? I don't know, but isn't that the greatest thing? I say this for the newer folks who find it hard to believe that it will ever get easier. It does. You still have to do the work, but someday you too will get an email from the EX community congratulating you on a landmark day, and you will have forgotten all about it because you just get on with your awesome life! Thank you to this great community for helping this become my reality.
Yes, I said you still have to do the work, and there will still be times you want to smoke... for me it was only this past Sunday that the nicodemon visited me again. My mother is 92 and a past stroke victim. On Easter Sunday, she had a really rough time and we all thought she was dying and saying her goodbyes. She is still with us, and getting a little better each day, but the urge to smoke during that stressful couple of days was present. But I made a conscious EFFORT to rid my mind of those thoughts and just get on with life, it worked and I didn't smoke. Did have a couple of big glasses of wine that night though 😉
Hang in there, it gets easier to say N.O.P.E.
You'll be so happy you did. I know I am.
