Addiction...

[58-4ever]

It's funny looking back on this thread and the things I was struggling with. Actually, I don't know if funny is the right word. I do know that the things that I was addicted to are different today, but the fight to overcome is the same.

There are a lot of good stories in this thread and I often look back at it when I'm feeling down. I appreciate all the candidness and especially appreciate those of you that have reached out.

Its always been about the Nicotine for me. I started smoking when I was 12. quit when my first child was born and I was 26. A suprise Divorce put me back in the Ciggy wagon.
I don't even want to quit, but I hate it.

Haven't had a single cigarette since April 28 of 2011. Smoked for like 6 years, 5 of those were a pack a day. Just decided to really push my willpower to the limits one day and see where it would take me. Here I am today.

I do still miss smoking, but I wouldn't say I have cravings or anything like that.

Congrats, man. I had smoked between a quarter to a full pack a day for almost 20 years (since freshman year of HS). Finally quit in May 2010. My uncle had been diagnosed with, and later passed away from lung cancer, and I decided it was time to quit. I used Chantix for a month, and despite the horror stories, it worked for me. I did break down about two weeks in and lit up, but just the taste of it was disgusting, so I didn't even finish it.

I've tried social smoking on a few special occasions, but it just kicks so hard in my throat that I can't do it. However, I do love being around the smell of secondhand smoke.

Thanks man, congrats to you as well and I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. I haven't tried smoking since I quit out of fear that it's going to grip me by the ****ing devil hands again. I'm just happy that I didn't start smoking until I was in college. I bet had I started as early as you, it would have been much harder for me to drop the habit.
