I just watched the nightly news and I promise there are [i]worse things[/i] than quitting smoking. It's really not as awful as it might seem at times. Don't be afraid pausing. Quitting is not much more than learning how to ignore those cravings for a cigarette. For many who seriously (hell or high water) want to quit... it's very much like ignoring the cravings for cake, or steak or chocolate. Everyones quit is different but for lots of older quitters when the urges come, we may think, "gee, I'll bet a cigarette would taste good right now", shrug our shoulders and tell ourselves, "yea, my memory thinks it might, but I don't smoke those nasty chemical tasting sickarettes anymore". ;) (or something to that effect) And that's IF and when you have a smoke thought. Some don't have them and even if you do after a certain point it's no big deal unless you choose to dwell on it. It's a thought. No different than "I'm hungry or I'm cold." A fleeting thought usually triggered by a memory. Or in some cases it's like remembering a crush in high school and having a thought of "what if" and then realizing he ended up in prison.~lol *just an example~I don't have any ex-boyfriends in prison~as far as I know* :confuse: ;)
