Somehow knowing that if I really wanted to go out and smoke I could, but that I wasn't because I had the self-control, was really the ticket for me.
I was ready to quit though. Maybe you aren't ready yet?

Well, Perp, I really don't know what "ready" means. If it means adopting a totally condemning attitude and HATING cigarettes, then I'm not ready. I LOVE cigarettes, and I will til the day I die. But I'm a rational person, some of the time, and I know cigarettes are BAD for me. So I'll try to quit again. And to be successful I'll indulge myself with food and candy and whatever. But it's only been a week or so now and I still have that longing that I figure won't go away for a month or so. I'm hanging on, and we'll see if I make it. Take care.
