Wazz, it does get easier, so much easier. You will get to where you never want to smoke and rarelt, if ever, even think about it.
Yes, we are addicts & we have to always have our NOPE guard up, but as we beat our triggers and adjsut to our smoke-free lives, we begin to see ourselves as nonm-smokers & think like non-smkoers so we don't have to always be so aware of having that guard up.
For example, I posted about this before, I think a couple of months ago so sorry to anyone who has seen it before. I had a really stressful situation at work & I was absolutely shaking with fury, even told off a co-worker. I was so angry & upset, nobody on my floor wanted to even come near me, excepet my friend & former smoking buddy. He came into my office, asked what happened, if I was OK, & if I wanted a smoke. Wazz, I did not even think and I heard myself saying, "No, I don't smoke", because I no longer made that association.
That doesn't mean I'm done, I'm still an addict & I have to keep that guard up but it becomes second nature.
You'll get there, Wazz & beyond there. We all will. We just hav eot keep doing what we're doing.
