I have learnt so many things from here, which I believe will really help me in my quit.
1. The 100 day crash. Maybe this is why I got hooked again at 3 months before.
2. 30 day crash. That one got me just after Christmas this year.
3. To protect my quit and value it, more than a value a cigarette.
4. That i can talk to other people, not just people who are close to me, so that this time, I dont end up smoking again, rather than upset people. (rather be a smoker than a *****)
5. That a lot of my junkie thoughts are just that, junkie thoughts as most people have the same, it empowers me.
6. In a quit, without this, you could get support for a few days, maybe a week, but you wont get support like you get here, and I really need that. Lack of support of how good i was doing, might have helped me to fail last time at 3 months.
7. Stuff about how memories are related to cravings, that makes sense to me, I am going to try to carve out some new more positive memories.
8. That i am not the only person on the planet quitting smoking right now - that it isnt easier to just go back and smoke, as at last then I can feel 'normal' again. When I am here, I do feel normal, as you all understand what i am going through.
These are the things that i didnt know before, that will really make a difference to my quit this time.
What about you?
