That there's a little bullshit mixed with denial. You have an image of yourself not smoking, and you think that's how it ought to be...but, you don't really wanna stop, those that do want to stop, achieve as such. It's about removing temptation from yourself (hmmmm....maybe, stop buying/accepting them?) and in some cases, removing yourself from temptation, which in itse;f is a challenge, as you may have to think about your lifestyle in general, activities, where you go, what you do...etc... as I said, it's a challenge, but it's not impossible - I don't think anybody in the world can rightfull say they CAN'T stop.

I truly understand what you're saying...However, I HAVE tried and the withdrawals (nausea, irritability, nervousness, migraines, sleeplessness) are just too much for me right now...I don't have time to be incapacitated like that...Maybe when the kids are grown and gone, and I can curl up in a ball in a dark corner for a couple of weeks till it passes....

As much as I dislike smoking, I dislike the agony of the quitting process more...


On a side note: I don't allow ANYONE to smoke around my kids...I keep my addiction to myself...My kids will NEVER smoke, because even they know how much I hate it and how difficult it is to stop...If nothing else, I can be an example to them this way...
