Four weeks since quit day, keeping ears and eyes open for any sneak attacks of nicotine cravings, and still maintaining. Oh, the addictive mind is getting more subtle and seductive in it's attempts to get me hooked again, but I'm using sensible reasoning and prayerful meditations and giving those hell bent cravings the boot.
I have no idea what it's like to quit drinking or doing other drugs, but I can say that quitting nicotine has been the hardest thing I've ever done as far as changing my mind and releasing a habit that I loved to participate in. I miss smoking but I don't miss the smell on my breath and clothes, the coughing, the cost, being alienated from the general public at my favoirte restaurants or the guilt I had knowing that I was slowly killing myself.
Is it still hard to not indulge? You bet. Is it worth it? You bet.
