I feel your pain. I lost a seven year quit some time ago and just lost another month quit back in July. I understand what you are going through�I'm there. I have decided today that I will quit tomorrow. The basic truth that I've recognized is I may never experience the feelings I had when I was able to quit for seven years or a month. Indeed, the feelings were very different for both quits. The basic thing that keeps us smoking, I coming to realize, is our fear of experiencing life without our drug of choice and dealing with all the thoughts and emotions that come with it. Quitting smoking is easy�Look at yourself�you can go for a day or two without any. If you can do a day or two, you can do 50, a 100, and 365. The key, I believe, is simply accepting the feelings and thoughts that come with the quit. The physical withdrawal is virtually non-existent�no different from periods of life when we get sick. It's the psychological that kicks us in the rear because we won't stand up to it.
Onemoretime, I want you to take my hand and join me in quitting tomorrow. Let's do this together. We are at the same place, experiencing some of the same psychic stuff, and I deeply believe that we can do this thing together.
Peace.
