It is the number one thing I keep in mind whenever I think about trying another cigarette.
A former friend of mine (oh well) decided to quit. And, he did. I was back home after about six years and decided to catch up with him and a few others. Some of us were still smoking tobacco at this point. Someone pointed out that my friend had been six years not smoking a ciggie and how great that was. He was modest about it but we still applauded him for it. Then, another friend asked him a simple question: Do you ever want one? My friend grabbed the table and leaned over to us and replied:
"Every fucking day!"
There are so many factors to successfully stopping something that is purposely addictive. So, I applaud anyone who has done so and decided to never do it again, regardless of the temptation. You go! (20 years since I had one. I don't miss it anymore.)
