I can give you so many reasons to fall back on old habits? I will not fall back on the old habit of smoking. It took a long time to see the damage it was doing. Or maybe I just didn't want to see what it was doing. I really thought it was my time to be alone with my thoughts. In the end my thoughts would still pop up but the cigarette at the end of my hand was gone. They don't last very long but those long drags and watching the smoke for five minutes or less is it really worth it? I still suffer to this day trying to breathe. I do have COPD and wish I didn't get this far but I can't turn back the clock. If you are still healthy it's time to put them down. I wasn't one to listen to the ones before me what these were doing to me. I really wanted to escape reality for just a few minutes at a time. Think about the reasons why you are here and see what works and doesn't. It's not a one size fits all package. We are human and if you slip a few times trying to find your forever quit soon or later the one that is meant to be will happen. We can't rush the process of trying to get all this junk out of us at once. We learn what works for us and that's what counts. If you are recently quit - keep a good-bye letter, or maybe a letter to yourself listing your reasons why for being here. It's you that needs to decide to do this. No one can force you - it's all in your mind.
