This.
You will never quit unless you really want to.
I had several aborted attempts. One time I decided to quit because it was costing too much money and I couldn't really afford luxuries because of smoking. So I decided to quit so I'd have more money. Stopped for a while, found it hard, started up again because I actually resented not being able to smoke because of a piffling thing like money. You'll always find the money to smoke even if you can't afford it.
There was a couple other times for different reasons that ended in failure , one of those times I'd quit for 3 months and went back on it.
Then a friend of a friend died from lung cancer aged only 42. Shortly after I decided not only that I wanted to quit on health grounds but just that I wanted to quit.
I wanted to.
So I did. Three years ago. Never really missed it either.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
