When I was at the same time as you, I would have struggled and would have refused. I remember reading, "You don't get extra points for making quitting more difficult." So I put myself out of harms way as much as possible early on; when I reached about four months, I KNEW smoking was no longer an option and everything about quitting eased up with this mindset. I think you are very close to this point Marti if you just keep on a little more. I don't take my quit for granted but I know the nostalgia is just a lie, a pattern nicotine wrote in my brain. Posting and reading here will reinforce your quit and so will the number game.

That was a great guess Colleen. Here's where I had my favorite pizza of all time - this is what you see when you walk in I found this place on the last day of our trip to Sorrento Italy; if I found it on the first day I wouldn't have wanted to eat anywhere else.

Rowlyd you know something very important about your addiction, it resides in the same emotional part of your brain as anger. Rather than let that part of your brain decide to smoke, you need to have the rational part of your brain make the decision not to. Make sure the rational part has the final say. Don't allow yourself to make any more quick decisions about smoking. When your brain says, "Let's go get a cigarette" you have to say to yourself, "I'm going to calm down and think about it first."
