I had over 3 months free from smoking an I have managed to pick this horrible habit all over agsin .. I quit for 2 years . Than started agsin last February '16. Then quit agsin this past may.. I was doin so well .. even exercising... there have been major changes in my life an I'm not adjusting well.. I lost my mother in February.. also been through a very stressful relationship that is ending .. I'm living by myself for the first time.. I could go on an on ... I'm not making excuses all I know is I was a nervous smoker an I woukd always turn to a cigarette.. but honestly now when I smoke they make me sick.. why am I doin this to myself? I hate it an I don't want to do it ! I wish there were meetings locally to attend for smokers like they do for alcoholics and drug addictions.. this really is a horrible addiction.. I want to quit an stay quit .., it's really depressing me....
I'm so glad to see you here! I'm very sorry to hear that you are going on hard times! My sincerest Condolences on the loss of your Mother! Never Ever Give up - we will never give up on you!
"why am I doin this to myself?" - because you and I are Addicts and we have to live by the Law of Addiction:
"Administration of a drug to an addict will cause re-establishment of chemical dependence upon the addictive substance."
"I was a nervous smoker an I woukd always turn to a cigarette." "it's really depressing me...."
Nicotine Addiction makes depression and anxiety worse! That relief we get from Nicotine is simply the rush that lasts until we put out the Sickerette - immediately we become even more stressed and feel the compulsion for yet another!
Fact: People who have quit smoking are happier, feel less stress, less depression, less anxiety!
You must convince yourself that smoking does absolutely nothing for your problems - not one darn thing!
Smoking solves nothing and you already know - it makes Life and the Quality of Life so much worse!
100% Commitment - No Matter What! You CAN do this!
