Share your quitting journey
It takes time to get there.
I smoked for 40 years.
I didn't quit for my health. I never considered the monetary cost.
I was a "considerate of others" smoker. I didn't smoke in the house or the car. Went around my job sites with a coffee can once a week to clean up all the butts outside.
What I've learned after nearly 8 years quit is many people won't succeed because they had a reason to quit. The perceived need to smoke and the addiction to nicotine often becomes more powerful than the reason.
People who succeed do so because they decide to quit and are willing to not smoke when they would have until they unlearn amoking and it is no longer the first thing they think of many times a day.
In the beginning of your quit much of the time is spent thinking of smoking and of not smoking.
I would suggest that where you want to be is living without the smoking or not smoking thoughts.
Anyone can do it but it takes time because we smoked for a long time.
Will you give yourself the opportunity to succeed and allow the time it takes or will you give up on yourself and talk yourself into smoking?
