i used to think that he made me happy… but now i know that he has nothing to do with my happiness.. i am in control of my own happiness—my own life.

i can see where you’re coming from. i quit a while back too, but started again making stupid reasons/excuses for myself like, today was a stressful day, i need it to concentrate, i can’t digest my food. wtf??? like seriously? so silly.. anyways, if you really put your mind to it, you can accomplish it. there’s nothing out of reach if you have the willpower and consistency of committment. i know the last time i thought i quit for a month i always had a couple cigs here and there as long as i did not buy a pack, and did it when i drank since i’ve known social smokers that weren’t addicted to cigarettes. yeah, big mistake. now that i quit for real, i realize that i cannot even have a single cigarette and that in that cigarette, i will become weaker. and plus, why would you want to smoke when you know you are succumbing to a little paper rolled up with tobacco and tar and harsh chemicals and a cotton plug? i personally HATED how i was not stronger than a cigarette. i don’t want it to control my life and i want to live my life how I want to live it, not have every event dictated by a cigarette (i.e. when i sleep, when i wake up, taking time away from friends/boyfriend, after eating, excusing myself, jittering during school, checking to see if i started a wildfire driving down the freeway, littering, etc). it seems really silly if you really think about it, but when you are an addict like us, those “silly” things seem life-threatening. anyways, enough rambling. you can do it. if i can, you can. i’ve “requit” now for 12 days… wow.. no cheating this time either!!! i still think about it but i don’t crave it. i don’t feel that i NEED it anymore, but i still WANT it. i hope this passes soon… but good luck. i wish you the best and i hope i could stick to it as well..
