That's exactly how it is for me! I can go without it for awhile but when I start to think too much, "This isn't temporary! I'm not waiting until I can get to the store or until I get a lull and can go smoke, I'm done!" I get a little panicky. Weird.Originally Posted by Shera
I smoked for about 10 years, from about age 15-25. I told myself a lot of excuses too, I was terrified at the thought of never smoking again. I could handle the thought of just not smoking for a day if I had to, or 2 maybe with a lot of willpower, but the thought of never smoking again was somehow terrifying, like I wouldn't be able to live without it. All lies. It sucks for the first few days for sure, but it gets easier after that as long as you don't give in. You just need to get by those moments of weakness and you'll be fine. I did restart twice, but I stopped before I was having more than a handful a day, so it was easier than the first time. Both times I restarted was while my husband still smoked. He vapes instead now, and I have no urge to do that, so I don't see myself starting again. I only get the urge now when I drink heavily, which isn't very often. Good luck
