I am going on Day 39 of No Smoking. I was at my dad's house to talk to the contractor yesterday, the scariest thing is that all of a sudden, the thought of smoking came into my mind, and I wanted to smoke. I stopped myself since I told myself that I am a non-smoker.
The craving for nicotine is very insidious, when I least expect it, and it came in slowly and create a strong craving. Thank God, I was able to stop myself. My mind reason with myself stating I could smoke one cigarette, and that will be it. However, I know that if I smoke that one cigarette all bets are off, and I will start smoking again, and I worked very hard for this. I was able to rationalize with myself and stopped myself from asking my sister for a cigarette. That was scary! I need to be vigilant at all times since the thought of smoking will appear all of a sudden.
