Nicotine DOESN'T Ease The Pain

I've been nicotine-free for 312 days. I can tell you that the addiction is a strong force. Been there. Done that.

Now, many months into my life as a non-smoker, I go whole days (sometimes even many strings of days) without even thinking about smoking at all.

I can truthfully say: Nicotine does not make emotional pain easier (that's the addict talking in one's head). It hurts just as much (with or without nicotine).

If I can quit, so can others. Hang in there. Hold On. Keep Quitting. Listen to music. Talk to friends. Talk to people on the "Q" (http://quitnet.com.)

Stay clear of it. Don't start. And if you have. There's no time to quit like NOW.
