I don't know and can't speak for all, but think that maybe there is a certain amount of smoking thoughts we carry to our grave. I do, however, think that if we dwell on the craving, urge, longing, thinking , romancing, of a cigarette or when it's going to go away, it will stay with us a lot longer. I realize the feeling of excitement and making everything all about the QUIT, I also have been in the place of almost wanting to cry dwelling on the QUIT also. Once You take all of the importance away from the QUIT some of the newness and excitement goes away and the same way with the dreaded , horrible 'don't want to quit' QUIT. Don't give it any power at all after you lay them down and soon you'll not be dwelling on the urge, crave, longing whatever you wish to call it. You will start to live, and I mean really live and think about important things, dwell on goals and a new leaf in life and start toward excellence in you remaining time here on this ole earth and not on a damn cigarette all the time. Yes It crosses my mind daily, but here's the kicker,, it is so BRIEF I am able to move on without any sort of dwelling on it whatsoever. And this life of freedom is by far better than the ball and chain, I'll take an occasional thought anyday to the real thing. Remember to laugh at it, take away it's power and you're free!!
Peace guys, I'm free about 420 days after smoking 2 packs a day for 36 years!!
