12 months and counting...

Does it ever go away? That little voice in the back of your head saying "just one won't kill you". I quit smoking 12 months ago when I found out that I was pregnant. I had quit when I was pregnant for my first daughter too, but I started right back up after I stopped breast feeding. This time I'm trying not to start back up. God it's hard. I can't believe after all this time I'm still sitting here craving a cigarette. I know that it won't be as good as I imagine it would be...in fact it would taste gross, but I still want it. Will there ever be a day when I don't think about smoking at least once?

I quit 2 years ago, but still want to smoke sometimes. It gets easier, but always still there.

Keep going it is worth it and the voice does go eventually. I found the hardest part of quitting wasn't the nicotine but the social aspect like meeting friends for in a pub or cafe or even on my own in the flat just with a cup of coffee or surfing the web. Don't give up, remember you are shortening your life, every time you want one think of your kids.
