I think a few of us (me included) sometimes fall victim to the 'forever' and are sometimes influenced by hard times of those with more time on their meters. We think "OMG, so-and-so is going through such a crisis and still craving smokes at 322 days!" and "I am never going to smoke again and will be miserable for the rest of my life because of it."
Time to get back to the basics. First of all, look at it as choosing not to smoke, just for this day, every day, instead of 'forever'. And human beings are going to have crisis in their lives whether they smoke or not. That's the facts, Jack! We have conditioned ourselves in times of stress to reach for the smokes. It's going to take a little well to 'recondition' ourselves. We're back to Pavlov's dogs, folks. Learned responses.
My rant is over. I'm nobody to preach this, mind you... Because next week you might need to throw my own post up in my face. Just thinking out loud.
