Thank you for this. i am on day 154 and still need to remind myself why i am a non-smoker. i am surprised that i am still faced with daily 'junkie thoughts' like...."obviously i can quit since i've come this far....what would one cigarette do?" i still walk by smokers on the street and look at them enviously......i still get angry when i say "i would love a cig right now" and hear "you only think you do...or No you don't...." it is a daily struggle. i no longer dream about smoking and actually dreamt the other night that i was telling a group of people about this site and how it's helped...i was basically 'preaching' in my sleep which is a huge sign i think. i take each day as it comes...but i must admit - i never realized how difficult this would be and how constant a struggle....i am glad i have the support here....do not think i could have done this alone.

Motivation and planning are extremely important to quitting
smoking. First, think of the main reasons you want to stop. Take a piece of
paper and on one half write down the reasons you smoke. On the other half, write
down all the reasons why you should
quit.
Now you have a better idea of what you will lose and what you will gain from
stopping smoking. Circle the most important reason for you to quit. Write it
down on a separate piece of paper and keep it somewhere you can easily look at
it when you need to.
