I realized that I was heavily, physically addicted. The withdrawals were just awful. I think the physical habit is the addiction part. However, as I made my rounds this morning, I realized that each routine and situation called for a coping mechanism, because I had habits. I realized what was so difficult about breaking the habit is that I do not just have one habit. I have a habit for every situation, and as I am confronted with each I have to put a coping mechanism into place or devise one. So I know that I will not come across some old situations for months, and will probably be tempted to smoke when I do.
