Funny you mentioned the return to smoking after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. I used to think as you did - but on thinking about it further, I realized it would not be what I remembered because I understand that all I thought it did for me was a lie - cigarettes are a device designed by Big Tobacco to keep me an addict.....and to keep their pockets lined. I have decided I would not give them the satisfaction of ever giving them one more penny of my money Did you know they put COUGH SUPPRESSANTS in them to negate our bodies natural reaction to their poison??!! That really ticked me off!
Congrats on almost a month! It actually should continue to get easier and easier now. Be aware that you might still get a hummer of a crave, out of nowhere - your addiction's final push to get you back. Use the tools you found helpful in the early days, and you will emerge victorious. Those will end as quickly as they came - then it's just maintenance.
