I've wanted to post something for a while now but couldn't really think of anything to write, other than the usual gratitude for being nicotine free, how much better I feel, and how much easier it is to control my asthma now that I'm not smoking... etc. The benefits are immeasurable and many!
My quit is going very well. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I ever smoked a cigarette! Its truly amazing now that I am here learning about fixating on a cigarette. In the past, that was always my downfall. The "One Puff Files" truly do provide a world class education on successful smoking cessation. At times my thoughts wander off into these reveries about past quits that ultimately failed simply because I allowed myself to slip into the internal debate over "just one"... "Just one puff"... "Just one cigarette"... "Just one pack"... "Just one week"... Yikes.. what a way to live.
After almost 6 months smoke free, I can honestly say that for today I admit I am a nicotine addict, yet choose to remain smoke free, and ever vigilant that nicotine is not as addictive as it is because it it so hard to quit, but rather because it is so easy to relapse.
