The whole point of quitting smoking is about NOT throwing in the towel.
It is about building yourself a successful quit and to stop feeding your addiction. Reintroducing the drug ? No No NO ! You're an addict, fgs.
To give yourself an 'out' like 'throwing in the towel' you are dooming yourself to failure.
The only requirement is a conscious and committed decision to quit smoking, quit using nicotine
and you must abide by your choice come hell or high water.
This isn't rocket science, quitting isn't impossible and frankly, while it may be challenging,
quitting smoking doesn't rank in the hardest things to do on the planet.
Go sit in ICU and see people on ventilators, go through the cancer wards,
watch amputations due to complications caused by smoking and witness real challenges.
Challenges not only for smokers but, also for their families who must watch these horrors.
You Smoke Because You're A Smokeaholic
I don't know if you have quit yet @Mona, your sig just says 'yes', whatever that means.
All your sentences are straight out of the junkie handbook. I recognize them, you know why ? Because I am a junkie too.
Thankfully, I have put my addiction to sleep and you can too, of this, I have no doubt.
You need to stop spouting the lies of addiction, stop listening to your junkie, stop obeying the addict and start seeking freedom.
Every quit is different, different to each quit you started and different to each individual
Don't assume because you had it hard with cold turkey that you will have a hard time with cold turkey this time.
Don't believe if you had it easy with patches, you will have it easy again.
Every Quit Is Different
