And that smoking makes your life unmanageable. It's important that I remember that part and look at all the ways that it has made my life unmanageable. When I joined the Friends of Bill W. group on Become an Ex, I had not stopped smoking yet, but had set my quit date. I actually moved it up and quit sooner when I looked at the crazy lengths that I went to get cigarettes (late-night runs), make sure I had enough (obsess over whether I would run out or not). It reminded me of my using drugs. Looking at the unmanageablity helped me accept my powerlessness.
