It certainly may feel like a battle right now…. I was there 100 times, myself. But the battle itself is an illusion. Because smoking is not our friend… it will not make is less lonely. Smoking is not comforting… it will not make us less anxious, or angry, or bored. Smoking is not even gratifying… it only leads to more cravings. 1 smoke is too many and 1,000 is never enough. Every tug of war requires two opposing forces to make it a battle. The thing with quitting is that you win when you drop your end of the rope. Change the channel, walk away, take smoking off the table. Then the battle fizzles out. As others have said, every time you do this and persevere through a bad moment or day, it makes your quitting muscles stronger. Your quit gets easier. Come on @Kdad… you can make it!

I’m sorry you’re struggling tonight. But smoking never makes anything better, @Kdad. It just adds shame, coughing, and stink to the situation. You’ve got such a good start… don’t throw it away! Distract yourself, stay busy, just don’t buy that pack!
