Today is day number seven in my attempt to quit smoking. Seven days, no cigarettes. I called the quitline, and got some patches. The urge for a cigarette is slowly fading. But theres an even more difficult hurdle that is purely psychological. A cigarette is a reward. It breaks up the day into little pieces, at the end of which, you get to smoke. It gives meaning to the day. What is a work break without a reward? Its sitting around waiting to go back to work. Smoking is addictive way beyond the chemical dependancy. Smoking is an activity, and that activity is even harder to quit than all of the chemicals combined. Consider every pregnant woman who quit smoking, had the baby, and then began again. Once they have gotten past the pregnancy, smoking is a reward. Consider jail, the hospital, etc. Same thing. Quitting is hard.
