Except...
when I'm stressed.
Seriously, I don't know what it is but every 6-8 months, I decide I'm too stressed out, and the only thing that will help me clam down is to smoke a cigarette. It's usually only one,
For some reason, my crazy brain still thinks that a cigarette is the answer to my crazyness.
I smoked this morning. Just one, and I doubt I'll smoke again today and probably not even for a few months. And the truth is, I felt better!
When I came back inside, I felt relaxed and happier than when I had gone outside. It's probably completely psychosomatic, but that's how I felt.
I just wish when I was stressed that my brain didn't automatically go to "Put some chemicals in your body. Those always do the trick."
Any former smokers still indulge once in a while? Please, make me feel better and tell me I'm not the only one :-)

Never been a smoker, but I can definitely imagine how it would be a stress reliever every now and then.
almost all former smokers i know indulge once in a while, i quit in october and haven't had one since jan, but man..when i'm stressed, i always want one. so no you are not alone :)
I was a smoker then I quit and would indulge when I feel down or stressed, but eventually I stopped craving and couldn't stand it anymore.:)
I've been a closet smoker the past two years, but my brother just got me an electronic cigarette called e-go & it's great. Haven't had a cigarette since.
