in the late 80's i quite smoking after smoking for many years. i was a confirmed 2 pack a day marlboro man. i would quite and do well for about 3 - 4 months and would start to believe i had it licked. then something bazar would happen and i would arrogantly think is could have just one. nope, right back into it hardcore. it took me 11/2 to try three times and finally the third time i had learned i could not play with it at all. many years now and free as a bird. its a digesting habit. i think the key is how one see's themselves. are you a smoker who can't smoke? or a person who used to be a smoker but not longer is that smoker?
great mark. don't relax, remain vigilant. its tricky for at least a year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. Will remain vigilant.
