I'm glad you posted sickofsmelling!!! What is going on?? Is it your thoughts?? Are you always thinking of smoking?? Or are you "wishing" you were smoking??
As far as the thoughts go, well, you have to let them go. Accept the fact that you do not smoke anymore. "Romantizing" your old smoking habit will only make it harder. Instead of remember how you enjoyed smoking, try to remember how it made you feel. Run down, maybe a hacking cough, smelly, feeling like an outcast, mad at yourself for continuing to harm yourself, getting wrinkles, etc..... There are so many bad things to remember about smoking. Look up some pictures on the internet. I did, and one picture stands out in my mind. I now know exactly what I was doing each and every time I inhaled. Seeing it is much more believable than just knowing, or having someone tell you. The graphic picture of a lung, or someone actually taking their last breath, well, it is a picture I will never forget.
Tell me a little more about your struggle!!! I will help you through this, we all will. The important thing is that you reached out to us!!
