I hope I'm done. I think I am.
My friends smoke pot. Other friends cigars. I smoke neither.
I was offered a smoke from airport security while a mix up had me waiting 2 1/2 hours for my shuttle.
So I took it. Then bought a pack. Lasted 5 days. Then I flew back here to CR bought another pack. In between had a house guest so didn't smoke for 2 days. Then I finished the pack.
I know it stains your teeth. Is bad for heart lungs. Everything really.

I guess I let myself feel left out cuz everyone smokes but me. But screw it. I'm going o hold fast and not buy anymore.

It takes 21 days of not doing something to create that new habit.
Cigs are so addicting it took much less time to get addicted. Crazy.

You have given up once, you can do it again.

All i mean like ALL my old boyfriends are dead from smoking or cancer. Even some that didnt smoke. So im glad youre stopping.

My father was a smoker for many years. He always tells people that when you decide to quit, don't take any cigarette again, even if you though it will be just one for fun. One cigarette can pull you back to the habit of smoking, again. Good luck

I know. It's only Ben 3-4 days since my last cig, but the loop of desire is still in my mind. It crosses my consciousness many times a day. Plus it's not so socially unacceptable to smoke in Central America.
I'd never get away with it in CA. It may even be against the hoa to smoke on my patio. I know it's against the law to smoke at the beach.

It was a slip and that is the way I would look at it, Remember the saying with every addiction, One is to many and a thousand is never enough, Youve went this long you dont want to go back to those nasty things, Just remember it was just a slip, Good luck and stay smoke free

Just read your post and I wanted to wish you luck. I know how hard it is trying to quit.
