Iv stopped smoking 3 weeks ago but i smoked 3 today? -
today I smoked 3 cigerettes have I undone all the good Iv did by quitting for those 3 weeks? Am I back to the beginning again now? Why did I smoke after the 2nd 2 after the first one i really hated? how can I never be tempted to smoke again even tho they taste disgusting to me again I dont want to start smoking 20 a day againduring your first week without cigarette smoke, your brain goes nuts without nicotine. If you-ve seen the nicoderm commercial with the little cerebral creatures bouncing up and down causing a ruckus, it-s a bit like that. but after the first week, the brain relaxes a bit, and it continues after that.since you have fed the brain nicotine again, you have re-sparked its interest, and now you will have another week of hell overcoming cravings. yes, it is like starting over.
i think you caved more from habit than addiction, which are very different. the whole process of lighting a cigarette, bringing it to your mouth, and puffing becomes habitual, and that on top of the nicotine addiction can be VERY hard to conquer.
but you can do it!!! i know you can, and you know you can. just like in a diet, if you mess up one day, don-t give up altogether. tomorrow is another day, and if you mess up for a whole week, that-s fine too but never stop telling yourself that you-re quitting.
