It is really great to find so many people out there that are so willing to help each other with this awful habit!!!

That is great!!! I know the world will not end...but I really want that cigarette!! And I justify it with "well it's not as if I smoke all day" I am aware of my justifications...that is a trait I really need to overcome.

The good news is I've stopped trying, I DONT SMOKE period. You will know when you get to that point. And as for getting in your car and having to smoke, that is the lie of addiction. So if you dont light up, is the world gonna end or what. The other thing I believe in is finding this place to talk and be held accountable. I was doing it on my own and found this sight 2 weeks ago, 11 days to be exact. I am 12 days smoke free. What a coincidence. Put em down!! We are here for you!!!
