In my short life (24 years) I've attempted quitting smoking numerous times. The quits have lasted various lengths of time..... 2 weeks... 3 weeks... 8 months.... 1 month... 2 days. Hell there are probably some in there I've missed. They say 95% of people don't make it a year.
Here I am again. Knowing the only thing that is going to make me successful is sheer determination. I have read the Allen Carr book. I have devoted myself to quit smoking websites. I have tried nicotine patches....gums.. lozenges. You name it, I feel like I have tried it. There is a part of me that feels like why bother.... in that... I feel like this addiction rules my life and I will die from it. But there is a greater part of me, that hates feeling that way and that is why I am determined to give up this demon... this vice... this deadly addiction.
It's just the first three days that I dread honestly. If you can make it through those, well it gets so much easier. I now have to make it through those again. And now, for the last time. I take comfort in knowing that I will never do this again. Because I refuse to.
