Everything is about motivation... Cigarets are more mental habit than physical addiction. I start i high school was 16 i believe... was smoking for almost 9 years till I met girl with dont accept this at all... People do strange things when they in loveso I drop cigarets... 3 week later i got dropped
... but I realized that if I wasn't smoking for 3 weeks.... there is no sense to coming back..
time pass...
I moved to US... start working in restaurant... slowly going up in the ladder... got moved to high volume dinner... High pressure of work ( 500 breakfast between 8am-1pm on weekends) put me back to this habit... believe me in the middle of Saturday or Sunday breakfast rush this minute outside of line was like true blessing...
Then economy in US start going down... even in small but busy touristic locations like St. Augustine Florida... things start falling... I lost my job... was couple months in limbo .. and decided to move to NYC...
Knowing that pack of Marlboro cost around 11$ (4-4.5 in Florida for example) I decided to quit again.
I'm clean for 2.5 years...
Every time I quit i was doing this by myself.. no therapies no pills.. no lowering dosage of smoked cigarets per day... Just Trow last empty package to garbage and tell yourself THAT'S IT... and hang on there...
I had few steps of shaking addiction...
First 3 days are Uhhhh......
Then after initial withdraw from nicotine.. after a week I had day when i almost kill for cigarette ... Then Again same day after next week... then again after a month.. then after 3 months.
Those was days when i almost smoked again...
Even now after 2.5 years there are days when i think about cigarette... They say You will be totally cured if You dont smoke same amount of days you smoke... is a true ??
9y - 6y + 2y - 2.5y = .... yea I'll tell You in 2 and half year...
I keep My fingers crossed for ya... Be Strong Girl
