Easy Going (Relativity)

Where ever those real strong cravings came form, they must have gone back. I got over them yesterday, and I am back to normal now.

I am at the six and a half month point, and the desire for smoking is way down. Those strong cravings lasted maybe three days. Now I have short, mild impulses to smoke. Nothing very difficult to brush off.

I can go for long periods of time without even thinking about smoking now. I wouldnâ€™t say itâ€™s exactly easy street now, but is getting much better. I no longer feel I am fighting the addiction every minute. When I first quit, it seemed that not smoking was a chore to be done. The days passed like I was rolling a large rock up a hill, only to see it roll back down and have to start again. It seems illogical, but it took a lot of effort not to do something. I always reckoned not doing something was easier than doing it.

I am, by nature, a lazy person. I am glad to see the effort is less today than it was when I started. I hope some day, quitting will be easier than smoking would be, because that makes sense to me.
