We can not be casual smokers

[Jonny5]

If you could, you already would be.  There are some who can really genuinely take it or leave it.  I read once that 90% of nicotine users become addicted. the others don't persue a smoking career so to speak, or smoke occasionally with no withdrawals.

 

That is not you.

 

You are a nicotine addict, that is why you are reading this, and that is why you can't just have the occasional smoke.

 

we are all or nothing, The law of addiction states that reintroduction of the addictive substance to the addict will reawaken the addiction and start the withdrawal process over again.

 

it can not be any other way for us.

Oh my was reading this again and brought to mind my Friday night encounter. I was with all the girls hanging out having a great time. Only 1 out of the 9 girls there including myself don't smoke. But the one that was made my little demon wake up and look around.  I had a moment of insanity when I was actually considering asking her for a cigarette then my warped brain was thinking well you can take one when no one is looking! Like how bad is that! That's when the light bulb went on and I was like HOLY Crap what are you thinking. Glad I snapped out of it and remained a non-smoker. It is scary how the brain thinks truly an addict moment.....
