You're right, you do change.You have to.I can relate to the increase in confidence.Before the cigs used some of that up.I haven't posted since November but all through the intervening time I have been 100% nictine free. I've come very very close to buying a pack at times, even after 6 months, but managed to resist.Now I feel terrific and only occasionally get a craving. I still need to be on guard but because I have changed the self talk ("Just one won't make a difference") I feel more confident about making other good decisions in my life. The cloud is lifting.
