Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking! This is a wonderful site with great information and support. I love how you realized the only one you were fooling is yourself because the habit has control over you. It's so hard to admit that kind of stuff. You're doing great!!!

This is a fabulous encapsulation of the long, slow process of beating this addiction back into the recesses of your mind! It is a very slow process but you will read all over this forum about how every battle you do with the nicodemon, the stronger you get and the weaker it gets. That lessening in intensity you mentioned becomes quicker and quicker the further you get into your quit. At some point, you realize that you have the upper hand on this deadly addiction and that's when True Freedom is realized

Hi tammy and join the club! It has taken quite a few of us multiple attempts to quit this addiction. Good luck and i hope 3x is the charm for you

And another thing you can do if you find yourself with a craving and nothing to take you mind off it is to go play some of the games on the games page. Many have spent endless hours occupying themselves and beating back their addiction in the process on that page.

 

I would just stay away from the "Chicks or Sticks Game" if I were you. It's more of a "guys" game
