The first time was for 8 months. The second was for a whole year. To be honest, I'm starting to doubt whether it will ever stick. But I don't even LIKE smoking, it makes me feel disgusting inside and out, and every time I take a drag that I don't enjoy, it really drives home how gross this addiction is.
I've only been smoking again for about a month and a half, but it feels pretty entrenched already. I'm going to try cold turkey again, as that's what worked (temporarily) for me in the past.
