The first time I quit was in 1994.
And then I decided I needed a bad habit so started smoking again last year. I had about 6 months of smoking and quit again - not because I wanted to but because I couldn't afford it. So cold turkey, I stopped smoking. I was miserable. Grumpy. I wanted to break shit. But, you know, I had to figure out the WHY. Turns out it was boredom which is an unacceptable excuse to me once I figured it out. There is NO REASON anyone should be bored! So, I started doing things again - walking, writing, recording. I still miss smoking. I think I always will. But it will not win. I choose me.

I can totally relate, merej99. You know what helped me a lot? Before quitting I went out with friends and smoked like one package in one night. The day after I had the worst hangover in my life. When thinking about smoking I always remember that "last night" and especially the feeling the next day. That´s how I completely lost the desire to smoke :)
Thanks for your insight!! :)
LOL
I think I'll have to call that painful psychology. :)
LOL - it was extremely painful. I´d even say a trauma :D
