This past summer, I quit smoking, mostly because I had back surgery, and because I couldn't smoke before it because the surgery might not have worked as well. After the surgery, I didn't start up again because I don't like to smoke around my girlfriend, who I spend most of my time with. I rarely get the urge to smoke when I'm around her, and she's one of the main reasons why I want to stay quit. However, I'm really nervous to go back to college. I'm taking all science classes, so I have a lot of classes everyday, and I'm on campus a lot. Last year, I got into the really bad habit of smoking on my way to class, between classes, and just when I was bored to pass the time. I work on campus also, and a lot of my friends who worked with me would smoke too. Plus, you can't walk to class without seeing at least 5 to 10 people smoking a cig on the way. Smokers are so nice too. If you ask someone to bum a cig, nine times out of ten, they will give you one. Needless to say, I'm really worried about not being strong enough to stay smoke-free once school starts. I'm not going to ignore my friends who smoke, because they are my friends who I care about, but I really don't want to start up again. I've read all the posts on the steps of quitting, and different relaxation techniques. I even made one of those T-charts with a 'reasons to quit' side, and a 'reasons not to quit' side. I'm over the nicotine addiction. I just don't know if I'm over the habit-part of the smoking addiction. Do you guys have any advice?
