If you gained weight and are now a size 8, I expect you look great. Relax. 😀

Cut yourself some slack. I started exercising as soon as I quit, so I wouldn’t gain weight. I am already a bit overweight, so was really motivated. I ended up losing 10 pounds, but am sure I gained it all back, while on vacation. I am looking forward to getting back to my routine, after I arrive home, in a few days. 20 to 30 min. of cardio, daily, does wonders.

The addict brain comes about as a result of his or her addiction. The addiction, itself, causes chemical changes in the brain. Those changes result in addictive behaviors. Put simply, habitual use of an addictive substance, causes one’s personality to change. It is the addiction that causes the addictive personality, not the other way around. There is a lot of literature on this subject. I have studied this subject, intensely, and even treated addicts during my professional career.

Well, why would I want to see a kitty get stolen?

Who would want to watch a poor kitty being kidnapped?

For me, sometimes seeing a butt on the ground, especially a long one, triggers a desire to light up. But, it is a fleeting thought, dissipating quickly, like a puff of smoke….

Nicotine’s more addictive than heroin. Therefore addictive personality doesn’t’ reallly cone into play. One might start smoking in High School, to be cool or fit in. Before you know it, you are addicted to nicotine. It is then that you become an addict. No one plans to be an addict, but once you are, then the addict personality develops. Attitudes towards smoking change. It becomes a need, not just a means to socialize , or to fit in with a certain group. Anyone can become an addict, given the right, or perhaps ,more aptly, wrong circumstances. Once you are addicted to a substance, is it easier to become addicted to something else? Perhaps you become more likely to try something new, like you were open to trying cigarettes. Can you then become addicted to another drug, or food, or gambling, or whatever? Sure. But is there an inherently addictive personality? I don’t think so. The vice causes. addiction, not the personality of the smoker, drinker, gambler, etc.

@Kris, I think that’s a common response. I know, I have had the same feeling. I even think some of us believe we don’t deserve to succeed at quitting, as sad as that sounds. But we do deserve to quit and live a healthier lifestyle. I do, you do, and everyone here does. Keep up the good work. You’ve got this!
