Hi Peace Out,
When I read your post it made me think back to my failed 8 month quit from two years ago. Where would I be if I had NOT acted on the nicodemon urges during those few times when I thought the cravings got bad. Including the few social situations when I thought, "Hey, just one won't hurt". WHAT IF I hadn't began to believe that only one would be okay every once in a while, say, one per month. I'll tell you WHAT IF.....I would be celebrating three smokefree years right now, that's WHAT IF! But NOOOO, instead i am back on the same smokey roller coaster only it is twice as bad. Cravings are stronger, emotions seem crazier, and I am two years older. Don't let this happen to you. It is WAY not worth it. The cravings may be screaming at you right now but let your desire to quit sing to you instead. Much nicer. The folks here give great advice that is well worth practicing. Also, try putting yourself ahead by two years and think of how/where you want to be. A NON-smoker right?
Hang in there! You can do it!
Joonie
