I finally made the leap!

So two months ago I started my final journey to quit smoking forever. I used lozenges for the next two months because I thought it would help me to quit. I did quit but I didn't quit because of them I quit in spite of them. 

I understand now what Allen Carr was talking about when he said that withrawl doesn't hurt what hurts is feeling deprived of my crutch or pleasure. As soon as the big monster, the big con that thinking that nicotine does anything for me is dead I can never go back to thinking I want it.

The only reason I used lozenges is because I wanted an excuse to use my favorite drug without feeling guilty about being unhealthy. Now that I know that it is simply drug addiction at its finest I have been able to put them down.

It has been 12 and 1/2 hours since I had my last lozenge. I have not had a craving. It does not hurt and I thank God that I am finally free of the nicotine trap.

2 months 1 day smoke free, 12 and 1/2 hours nicotine free!

I am a 33 year old woman who has smoked for 15 years. I started smoking when I was 18 yeats old. Sadly, I started smoking because no one ever asked me to smoke cigarettes or anything else, so I took it as an insult and started anyway. How is that for insight...
