After all, I quit smoking 7 months ago tomorrow. Life should be easy and going well by now. I have to remind myself that I don't get over a 23-year habit in 7 months. And I thank you Kevin for all your "tales" and for all the work you put into saving us from our addiction. It helped me a lot to read that you make an affirmation to yourself every day. I still light candles to commemorate each month and week and I have to remember to be patient and I have to learn how to live without this addiction. Thanks for letting me rant. It seems like I've been sitting on Pandora's box for 23 years and when I quit I stood up and let all the emotional demons out. Whew! I'm still taking deep breaths and I'm so thankful there are people out there like you who are just there--you are so needed and so appreciated.

I can feed from your example and relate to the daily choice I continue to make not to smoke. When I finaly understood it was my choice...my quit, and my life the journey began. I am over five months into my quit and every day I still have to make that choice not to smoke. Being an addict is a life time of watching and listening for the Demon to rear it's ugly head and speak nothing but lies. I watch careful knowing I am only a puff away from a pack or more a day.

When I finaly understood it was my choice...my quit, and my life the journey began.

I am over five months into my quit and every day I still have to make that choice not to smoke.

Being an addict is a life time of watching and listening for the Demon to rear it's ugly head and speak nothing but lies. I watch careful knowing I am only a puff away from a pack or more a day.

I will win this battle one day at a time, one crave at a time, one deep breath at a time. Just as you are doing.
