I just wanted ONE.... yeah, sure I did! Who's trying to fool who?

[ChristaC]

Yesterday, while driving home, I had one of those sudden craves come out of nowhere. I thought well, who's to stop me if I buy a pack, and smoke just that ONE to satisfy this urge? And of course I knew, without a doubt, that I'd smoke 3 or 4 in the first hour, and then desperately look for a time/place where I could SNEAK SMOKE the rest of the pack. And then buy another pack tomorrow... and another the next day... and so on and so on....

 

So, I just went home. Smoke free and happy. :-)

That's the spirit! Show that nicodemon who's boss :d

Way to go! It's safe to say at this point in your quit, it's not a crave. Just some leftover, stored away junkie thinking. Good job kicking it to the curb!!!

 

No such thing as one--and even that one isn't what the brainwashing wants us to believe.

 

NOPE

At this point in my quit, I KNOW there's no such thing as "just one". Even I, hard-core addict that I am, can't fool myself into believing THAT, ever again....:-D

Some times I too get the junkie whispering in my ear. Usually it is how I can be a social smoker and smoke occasionally while drinking. Lies.

It is weird when a thought - refuse to call it a crave cos it isn't - sneaks up on you from no-where- and I still get them. The good news though - for any newbies or lurkers reading this - is when those thoughts happen- they become easier and easier to recognise and reject !

It's good you unruffled your own junkie-thinking!!!!
