I quit in my dream. I quit for a day. I took a drug and quit for a week. How many times have you quit? How much did you want it and how much did you understand it?
On looking back at those times I did not have a computer and access to a site like this. I thought that taking a drug for a while with willpower would make me a non-smoker. Just pop the pill and put in the time........NOT !!!
I found that those who succeeded quitting smoking permanently had found the desire to. They learned certain things about themselves, smoking, nicotine and about the brain-washing we underwent. Back in the day it was portrayed as glamourous on the big screen. It must be good, everyone was doing it. Everyone was doing it, and everyone was becoming addicted and continuing to do it. When we tried to quit, we couldn't. and to save face, we could at least say we tried and took solace that lots of others failed too. It was HARD to quit, was all we heard. We told ourselves that it was ok.
