' Wrote:Marburg how long did you smoke and what was your habit
I started smoking cigs when I was 12, sooo...30 straight years of the habit. I've tried quitting with multiple methods, but the reason why each attempt crapped out over the years is because the commonality each of my quitting attempts share is the fact that I fail at dealing with the underlying motivator of my addiction.
I'm on week 2 of quitting this time around, but for the record, it's nothing to be proud of. Getting over the physical addiction time and again is easy...still a bitch & a half, but an easy few days in comparison to the psycological addiction where I always fight the rest of my battles. In all reality, I know it won't last this time either because I'm honest enough with myself to know that I, to this day, still enjoy the act of breathing smoke...& although it's a smart step in the right direction, I'm still just a smoker only going through the days lately as a wannabe non-smoker.
Man, If only I'd have thought of eating more carrot sticks when I was younger, I'd not have to worry about my baseline addictive behaviors today. Why didn't anyone just tell me that??:P
