A recent relapse

I had a relapse that lasted on and off for a few weeks. I felt horrible - really unhealthy and anxious and finally said to myself I don’t want to smoke my life and me is so much better without cigarettes.
I really believe that now. And seeing for real how just an occasional smoke keeps the addiction alive.
I now vow never to smoke again. There’s no comparison between life on smokes and life free of nicotine. That’s why I originally chose to go cold turkey and why that’s how I’m doing it again this time, which will be the final ever time that I quit for good.
And I actually feel ok !

Keep up the positive attitude Cuba. With each try, we learn about ourselves and experience new things. You will succeed if you have that determination. The psychological hold is the worst part and it sounds like you have finally made the decision without reserve. Commit to your choice , knowing it IS a choice and that is what you CHOOSE. Why wouldn't you choose the life of a non-smoker with all the benefits?
You've got this Cuba.
