Excellent topic, stickin. I agree on your point about an event pushing a person beyond their limit or tolerance.
I have to admit that, even now, when I get real stressed like has been happening lately, I do have thoughts of smoking. Not craves, not even desires or urges. More like memories. Still have some associations that need to be broken, I guess. No biggie. I survived killer craves and 3 month long nags. This stuff is candy.
I continue on just as I got here. Smoking is not an option. Nothing I experience is worse than smoking. Nothing I experience will kill me. Smoking will. So I don't smoke. No choice to be made. It just is. I'm closing on 2 years. Why on this green earth would I toss all that for a moment's whim?
Or maybe I just have never hit my limit? Hmmmmmm. Nah. :eg:
Keep up the great quits, everyone. :)
