Slivers. Don't beat yourself up here. Quitting is so hard to do. It was for me too. I have no idea how many failed quits I have. Most of them never lasted more than a few hours. The point is, you keep quitting until you get it right. Do not give up on yourself. Keep going and eventually something will click.
Something will happen, someone will say something, and all of a sudden you will find the determination you need. You may just get tired of quitting. I kept telling myself, if I do this now, I don't ever have to do it again. Every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again. If you light just one cigarette, just one puff, you are starting all over again. I couldn't do Hell week again so I don't light up.
I would be doing well if I could make it for 2 hours without a cigarette. It was my best friend and my comfort in every situation. I want you to know that you are not an idiot. You are an addict.
Smoking is sort of like being in a bad relationship. It hurts you, it is killing you yet for some reason you keep going back for more. Once you finally break free you realize just what you had been doing to yourself and all the unnecessary stuff you put yourself through.
Dig deep and find the determination you need for just five minutes at a time. One step at a time. REFUSE to give in to the addiction ever again. You will be so glad you did.
