I think you nailed it right here Sunshine:

But I think the little voice is telling me: "SEE THE CIG'S DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN YOUR HEALTH".

The junkie in you is trying to say you're healthy, you can smoke. Recognizing it's junkie talk is good. Three months ago, your Dr's report likely would have been much different. And if you had continued to smoke, what would next year bring?
You've been on this journey for more than 2 months. You know the craves come and go. You know there are good days and bad. You know that once you fight through this one, it'll be much better!
Keep it going... and don't forget to reward yourself for getting healthy (it pays to be smoke-free!)!!

If it's too much to think of forever, then don't! right now, just take it one day, one hour, one crave at time. Wake up in the morning and say "Just for today, I choose not to smoke". The days will add up.
We CAN do this!

I just read the quote of the day in the glovebox and just had to come back and share it with you! :)

You can do what you want to do, accomplish what you want to accomplish, attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind - not all of a sudden, perhaps not in one swift and sweeping act of achievement - but you can do it gradually, day by day and play by play, if you want to do it, if you work to do it, over a sufficiently long period of time.

Now you got it! ~hugs~ And sometimes our only job is to plant the seed, sometimes we get to water it. When we are truly blessed, we get to watch it grow.
But we need to listen carefully to understand what our job is...

Hello Armymule!
Welcome back! and hello again to you too, Wellbutrin! Yes, we've met before. In fact, we were pretty good friends once. You see, he helped me out of a bit of a jam once. He probably even helped save my life. I owe him alot. I hope he'll help you, too!
In the meantime, look around the SSC. work through the program tools there on the left...if ya haven't already. Come here anytime you need...either to receive or to give support. Read alot and post alot. With all these great new friends, you definately don't need your old enemy! ;)
Congrats on your 9 smoke-free days!
Stay stubborn and stay quit!
