smoking is a pleasant experience only because it "feeds" the addiction that you got going....and when you feed it, it lies back and strokes you and allows you to think of that as a reward. You are being fooled in the worst way.....your very LIFE is at stake here. We have ALL been there where we thought smoking was a friend, a comforter, a stress reliever, a social nicety, an act of togetherness with other "addicts". At SOME point you will wake up and smell the coffee....smoking is dirty, disgusting and deadly.....it will demand your life in the end.....and if you let the addict run things, he will be lighting up as you take your last breath in this life.
Take a good, hard, honest look and determine that YOU want to live and YOU want to run your life. It's hard but it's quite doable to get on top of this addiction.....the sense of freedom that comes from doing so is unbelievable even after you experience it.
I smoked for 45 years....heavily.....I was a died in the wool, rip your face off for smokes type of smoker. If "I" can quit??? well ANYone can quit.
Make the choice and step up to the plate. It CAN be done!
