Excellent post and very well written BF!
My view is this - I have previously quit smoking for three months. Back then I knew nothing about this 100 day, therefore around 3 months i had one then two and you know how it goes, i was smoking again, full time. I realised that I cant just have one puff it doesnt exist not in my world.
That was 3 years ago. Since then, esp since last Sept, I think I have had 5-6 quits since last Sept if not more. I was desperate to get off the weed, but it was just so hard.
This time I am reading yep will have some tough times in future, but instead of expecting this magic day in a few weeks, i am realistic that actually I might still be tempted down the line. This gives me strength and courage to overcome and fight it, because i can plan for it.
However, I have been reading the last few days about (I think) quits that were almost a year in, and to be honest I did find that alarming! I was hoping that just after 3 months i would be back to normal. Would always be addicted to Nictotine, I just didnt think I would be suffering with it that far down the line.
Every time I quit, it got easier and easier. The reason for this, is because i was learning from previous mistakes. I learnt how i failed from my last quit attempts.
This helped me this time. If other members alert me to potential pitfalls I can be aware, and plan for it, hopefully this time, I will finally quit. I wont get to some point in the future, which is not as I expeceted, I will be prepared for the worst, and if its good - then I will feel great. Its a win win situation
