Hi Amy...I read you post - and your previous post. You were in a panic just anticipating your quit date; should you re-evaluate it; reschedule it ??? Oh - The dilemma !! So you re-set your quit date. I have to be honest with you (and I'm not judging - it's just that I've been where you are !!) until you make a definite commitment in YOUR mind to quit - you won't !!! All the patches, gum, lozenges, prescriptions in the world won't do a darn thing for you, unless your mind is in on the program, and you understand you are ADDICTED !! I see your picture - you're a beautiful woman !! Is it impossible for you to get to the nitty-gritty and admit you are an addict; our addiction is nicotine, not heroin, or crack, or meth..."we" don't "do""that" sort of thing ! Kicking the addiction to nicotine is harder than getting off heroin or cocaine !! It's a social addiction, as well as a physical and mental addiction.
I really suggest you get honest with your self - cutting back gradually is feeding that addiction with every puff you take !! You will get all the support you can use here - I love these forums!!
Writing all this to you just got me through a massive urge to smoke; see, today is my quit day !! 5 hours and counting !! Thanks !!!
