> I like to smoke because of the illusion that it relieves my antyness and makes me feel better in general. However, I think it might be partly creating the antsyness & in the long-term makes me feel less in control.
Unfortunately I don't think it's an illusion. Nicotine is being tried as a medication for many things now. I'm convinced that I became addicted because it relieved my misery, not that fighting my addiction made me miserable. Although, of course, it did every time I couldn't have a cigarette for an hour. In the end it may no longer have worked as an anti depressant for me but the approved prescription AD's can stop working too. Cigarette "poop out"?
Good luck with your quitting plans. The moment at a time approach sounds like a good one.
