By realizing that you are a weak woose with no willpower. You are letting the addiction win. Nobody really wants to quit because they're
ADDICTED.Another thing to think about is look at how many alcoholics and other truly super addicted people have quit and you
don't really want to. When my friend's mom quit, (and I mean this woman was a super big drunk) I thought, "you've got to be kidding me, if she can do it, you've got to do it". When I quit I bought some herbal cigarettes (no tobacco in them), and one night I really needed a smoke bad, so I went outside to do the deed. First puff, nothing. Second puff, nothing. Third, the same thing. It was then it hit me, "it's the nicotine that you are craving, not the act of smoking". From then on, I knew, I needed to stay quit. I think you'll do better with a support group. I had a lady at work. She's the one that really did it for me. When I'd say, "I'm really needing a cigarette", she'd move in with her reasons why I needed to stay quit. She never smoked, and despised smokers, so it was easy for her to be convincing. Also, as someone else said, get stuff to put in your mouth. I liked cinnamon sticks cause they stay, and you can chew on them. You can also pretend you're smoking with them, which may sound dumb, but the act of blowing air out helped me.
Good luck!
