When I look back at the times when I caved to smoking, I always had an exuse, not a reason, for picking up. I was stressed, I was anxious, I was going to take back my will, I was doing well and was going to reward myself..., but I know there was one reason, I'm addicted, period.
If I continued to smoke every time I got stressed, or every time things didn't go my way, I would never quit.
Everyone has troubles, and if a group of people threw all there troubles on the table, and you were required to take some troubles with you when you left the room, chances are, you'd want to leave with your own troubles.
Today, there is NOTHING that is going to make me smoke, and there is NO ONE that is going to make me smoke. If I feel stressed, and I smoke, I'm still going to be stressed, but now I'd be a stressed smoker.
It has to be that simple for me, one day at a time, because to smoke is just going to bring on piles-o-troubles for me.
