Breather, This makes sober reading. When I read your message of June 13th I felt it had great impact on me. I have thought about it daily, usually when I get my daily little craving thought. Firstly I feel pleased I am no longer caught up in the whole addiction treadmill. Secondly a little apprehensive in knowing that I too could be a prime subject for some life threatening disease.
Sparky, I do get where you are coming from, one would think it was a no brainer but addiction is such a powerful thing! I too am working to complete one day at a time. I believe I am moving on by recognising all the situations that prompt me to think of wanting to smoke. Then trying to deal with situations without the aid of a cigarette. I now see this quit is about me learning to deal with life's problems, frustrations or whatever, without smoking and further damaging my health. It's getting easier by the day. This does not mean I don't have those thoughts about what if some decease is already in progress. We could die from a road accident. But after all we've been through in life we owe it to ourselves to take control and be healthier for the time we have left?
I reckon we are doing pretty well right now we just have to keep it going!
Thanks for your thoughts on this subject as it lets us know we're not alone.
Have a good day
N.O.P.E.
