It all boils down to a simple decision. Nearly every smoker fears what happens to the body and mind when you stop. Hard to describe in words. It's like feeling really hungry, but food won't help. Everything feels tense, sounds make me irritable. Laying down feels safe, but then it's hard to find the motivation to get up. Just have to keep saying no.
Imagine if your arm suddenly started moving around and the only ways to stop it was to say no, or grab a cig. The cig makes your arm stop moving instantly, while saying no means it's still going to move for a few days and probably start slapping you in the face soon. Quitting smoking is never about right now but the shit you have to deal with right now can be brutal.
Thank you.
Your welcome, I can't imagine how difficult it could be to quit smoking, but nothing is impossible.

Oh man, that is intense, but quitting and enduring that are well worth the results after all those effects have finally subsided.
Yup, and I did this once before a few years ago, so I know what to look forward to.
Then the key thing is not to start back up again :)
