I've been quit now for almost 15 months. It was the HARDEST thing I've ever done in my life and is the world's MOST ADDICTIVE drug. I'll always have to watch myself to never even have a single puff of a cigarette again because once that nicotine gets back in my system (like an ex-drinker who has a single shot), I'm right back at it again.
Please don't take smoking or the use of nicotine in general lightly. |
It's funny, just how easy it is for those who perhaps have never faced an addiction to say that it's all about willpower. I wish it were that simple because I would have been done with this a long time ago.
