Hi historyteach,
A close friend of mine, that quit smoking with me, explained it as the loss of a good friend. The friend that was there with coffee, after dinner, when we were happy, when we were sad, you name it. When we were in the car, or board, or even just when we had a few minutes to kill. That friend was always available.
We turned a way, by our own choice. We miss our best friend. I have been through a lot since then. Once you get over the physical addiction, your mind tries to convince you you can start back.
But when I remember how I obssessed about quittting and how hard and painful it was... I don't ever want to go there again.
Right now I am struggling with a drinking problem. I have an addictive personality. Same kind of thing. Help!
I miss smoking, almost 7 years later. I had fantasies about smoking. During a period of family stress about a month ago, I smoked 1 for the first time. For days I felt like someone hit my lung with a blow touch and burned them.
The urge is gone.
You are a very strong person. I have read some of your posts. Smoking is nothing compared to you and your confidence about things.
You can make it. I did.
Carol
