+1 on the never tried pretzel and cheese thing. 5. “I’ll call you next week!” To politely extract myself from talking with someone I hope to never see again.

Good take-aways here: to lean into our reasons for quitting, to change our reactions to the thoughts of smoking, to stick with it because the turning point will come. Good stuff. I do have a different lens on one thing, though: I don't feel able to gauge anyone else's commitment. What I heard in Kris' post is that sometimes this commitment is painful. I concur. Speaking for myself, naming the longings and loss aloud isn't about a lack of commitment. It just means that I'm grappling with that pain - trying to externalize it and change how I respond (or not!) to it as part of my recovery process. I really value being part of a community where people can let the stink out.
