In my 52 year smoking addiction, I tried to quit hundreds of times Some lasting hours , some last a week , even got a couple of months going . it always ended in failure After being quit for over 12 years , I know where I went wrong . I didn’t have the tools, the knowledge . i didn’t have a family of Quitters helping me along . Life is wonderful without that horrendous addiction which had me on the verge of amputation. Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them until it does

Babs609 I always found it was similar to waiting for water to boil...seems like it takes forever. The quit is a roller coaster ride. Good days, bad days, a great morning followed by a crappy evening and vice versa. I think knowing this ahead of time sets your mind at ease because you understand its part of the process and won't last forever. Also helps to know you are not alone...and that it really does get better. But it's gradual. You will be going about your day then suddenly realize "wow! I haven't even thought about smoking in hours or days or months". It's an awesome moment.

Former Member Trish ! The non-smoker needs to decide whether he should listen to his head or his heart. The smoker/ex-smoker needs to decide whether he should listen to his head his heart, or the junkie. This can make things very difficult if you allow the junkie to put his two cents in. Make your decision easier. Recognize the junkie and shut him up. Once you decide to never smoke again it becomes easier… the mind games end
