^... Don't waste your energy on regret...what's done is done, why can't go back on time and change what we did but we can control what we do .... We have quit, we do not smoke, we have made the right choice....celebrate this decision don't waste time and energy regretting your past decisions it is negative energy and a waste of all your free time you have taken back
Have pride in you choice to quit and tenacity to stay quit, don't waste a moment feeling shame or regret it will achieve nothing.
Sadly for some of us we may have left it too late, but for many of us we have avoided that one ciggie that was the cincher....but for me when I got sick early in my quit and I faced treatment and I thought about smoking, (I mean what was the point in staying quit I was already sick), but you know what...I want to leave this life free of an addiction that controls me....I want to go out the master of myself.
@Rozuki I'm sorry for you and your friend.
So I despise big tobacco, but not because I was stupid enough to buy their lies...that's all on me...I'm angry with them because they think it's acceptable to profit from making people sick, they know the product they sell addicts the users, they know the product hurts and kills them and yet they see no issue continuing to profit from others misery, even innocent bystanders...that's what pissed me off. They know and they don't care...they want people addicted...just don't know how they look at themselves in the mirror and say "I'm good people".
