Christine, 

You are dealing with a dangerous and deadly addiction

which has changed your DNA, changed the way you think.

You have the power to override the addiction.

Each minute you have choice and are able to choose instead of letting addiction choose everything for you.

If you don't have super resolve or commitment don't worry about it.

Take one moment at a time.

These moments will build and grow your confidence.

Stay in the Now.  You don't smoke.  End of discussion.

Go reward yourself and go have some FUN.

I wish I could come to this point, but I don't feel I've made a commitment with myself to quit smoking forever. 

@christine 12, you don't have to make a commitment to yourself to quit smoking forever. Just make a commitment to quit smoking today. Then do the same thing tomorrow and the next day, etc.  You'll be amazed at how quickly the time adds up once you do the time. And I'll let you in on a little secret, the younger you are when you quit it seems the easier it is to bounce back from all the crap smoking did. Don't wait until you have breathing issues like me or something even worse!

Yup! What Jillar said. Just be determined to do it now! None of us know "for sure" if we have quit forever. All we know is that we will not smoke TODAY! That's the whole idea of the nope thread. Pledge your self commitment to stop smoking just for today Days add up and before you know it, smoking seems like a distant memory. I know ..... hard for you to believe today. I've been there myself C12. So have all the others here. Guard your resolve closely in the early days. That nicomonster will be whispering sweet nothings in your ear during these days. Don't listen!
