I had blocked the day I went back smoking again however it has now been unlocked so I'll share It was Summer and I was meeting a friend who I had not seen for months for lunch and drinks. I remember the warmth of the sun and feeling so happy and excited to see her. Before I had even arrived at our meeting point, I saw a store nearby and paused for a minute because at that moment I wanted to smoke. I didn't hesitate much which surprised me, I walked in, bought a pack and a lighter and smoked. That's the scary thing, I was happy, excited, life was good and I still managed to fail. I swore I wouldn't quit a gain as I didn't see any point but luckily I failed at that too because here I am!
I don't believe it's harder for me to quit than for others however I do think those with an all or nothing personality can fail too easily.
You're right, quitting is not the hard part for me, it's staying quit. Great post @Minnie Mouse
