Boy I am at that stage once again too especially after this past week.
There does come a time when you don't think about cigarettes or it might be once every 6 months.
I am on my second successful quit, there have been attempts the last two years, but it was that IF I COULD JUST HAVE ONE- that led up to having to set another quit date.
My first successful quit was 8 years ago this august 1st. I did it for 6 years and after a while it does not cross your mind but once in a great while, but you feel so good you're like no way.
Why I started again was stupid and self-destructive. My boyfriend was using drugs occasionally so I thought it was a way for me to cope, to destress, but all I did was add to it because then I had all this guilt and shame on top of everything else.
I am now almost 3 weeks "clean" and feel good and every day this weekend have wanted to smoke, but I tell myself the thought will pass and it does.
I know the agony I will cause myself if I have one. Because one thing leads to another and I will be right back where I was 4 weeks ago. Feeling like crap, not breathing good, ashamed of myself for myself and my family, especially my 7 yr old twins, who I don't want to pick up my habits.
So yes there is a time when you don't think about it as much, but it will always be a part of who you were.
Keep strong.
