Why.... Why... Why....

[nsd_user663_3828]

am I still struggling.... after 1 month.... it has been 21 days + (21 days to break a habit)... no cheating... no puffs... WHY THE BLOODY HELL is it still bothering me..... I honestly cannot live my life thinking about this disgusting cr@p..... Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............

I do acknowledge that the true measure of the power of nicotine addiction isn't how hard it is to quit; but rather, how easy it is to relapse. I have quit and fear (night and day) that I may relapse... I am so worried in fact that it has literally robbed me of my smile... No help needed.... just wanted everyone to know that while it gets easier it never seems to go away... I know people who claim that they still think of it every day after years and years of non smoking... Somone please tell me that is NOT true....

That is such a great statement it really shows an understanding of how it works.

I still think of cigarettes and as as I've put on another thread it would be so easy to go back to the slavery of smoking.

However, its also true that I see the temptations for the lies that they are, memories of the side of smoking which over many many years I convinced myself (quite wrongly) I enjoyed. I am able to dismiss them easily. Sure sometimes they come around and nag me worse than others but still not sufficiently to be at proper risk of relapsing.

Several times a week I have a nostalgic memory of smoking, recently I've felt a stronger temptation but equally no harder to resist than the temptation to put a heaped spoon of sugar in my coffee than a level one!
