Every quitter reaches a point where they just KNOW that they won�t ever smoke again. For me, that moment first came when I was having a really hard day a few months ago... I think it was January. I bought a pack of cigarettes, contemplated what I would be giving up, and then destroyed them� one by one while reading my reasons for quitting. Since then, I have been in a few really tough situations, but I always knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it just wasn�t going to happen, despite past failures. This is a really good feeling, especially when things are bad and you�re really down and upset. It�s like the silver lining around a dark gray cloud. I think this was especially important for me because I�d given up my quit before, so reaching that time was very special and marked a true transformation in my life.
I believe that every quitter reaches this point at some time or another. For some, I think that moment is much sooner than for others. What I want to know is, when was that moment for you? I think most of us have more than one... but the first one is the one that really changes your thinking. So for quitters who have experienced this, what was it that brought this very important change around? I want this thread to encourage newer quitters by having some of the more experienced ones talk about when it was that you just knew that you�d never ever ever ever ever go back.
Crave the Quit!
