I set my quit day for the 18th of September, but this morning I woke up and realized that I've already been 11 hours without a cigarette. What a good head start! I read this one article about nicotine addiction and how all my dopamine neurotransmitters have been hijacked by nicotine and that kind of scares me. It's like I've been powerless all these years. I've been a desperate slave, my mind brainwashed to the point where I feel like I can't do anything without cigarettes. That makes me not complete as I am and puts me in a constant state of not accepting myself as I am. I don't want to be addicted to anything. I want to make my own choices and not based my life around a drug.
