Sorry to bring this one up on a holiday weekend, but some of you may have practiced a similar lifestyle when you were smoking of rushing people out or rushing to leave yourself from get togethers that the only reason you could not fully enjoy the occasion was because you were restricted from smoking. Hence when they time came to choose between your family and friends or the need for nicotine, nicotine won. Life for some of you may have been very limited in the past because of your drug seeking behavior.
Remember life as it actually was and you will truly appreciate the great gift you have given yourself by quitting smoking. You have also given a gift to those closest to you--your time. More importantly though is the time you have given yourself--on a daily level where just seeking and smoking cigarettes were robbing you of time and more importantly, over a lifetime where cigarettes were actually taking away years or decades of potential health and eventually robbing you of years or decades of actual life.
Always appreciate what you have done for yourself by quitting and your continued success will be guaranteed as long as you always remember to never take another puff!
