Hi healthystar,
What do you love about smoking?
The way it makes you smell?
The way it forces you to look for ways to do it?
The men that it attracts into your life?
The fact that it is slowly killing you?
Like all the rest of us on this site, you are addicted to smoking. The addiction is causing that feeling of love. If you didn't need it or want it, then there would be no addiction.
Get the love thoughts out of your head. There is nothing to love about smoking. Admit to being addicted to it.
Quitting is hard, but you can do it. Go through the quit program tools. Set a quit date. Once that date comes, get rid of all smoking paraphenalia -- ashtrays, lighters, smokes, everything. It doesn't do any good to keep that stuff around.
Then log in here and read and post as much as you can. We've all been where you're headed. The wonderful people here can give you a hand whenever you need it.
Live by the mantra N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) You know where that slippery slope will lead you.
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
