The Insider and smoking

This movie with Al Pachino and Russel Crowe made me think about am I the most stupid person in the world unable to say "stop" to the cigarettes at once. Am I the next idiot to make the "seven dwarfs" wealthier? And finally am I a drug addict since my love to the nicotine is just like a drug addiction. Porbably I am but I do not want to be anymore. For a week I substituted the sudden nicotine hunger with big quantities of water and tea. Then it disappeared. Just like with drug addicted - I have heard that threir body resistance lasts for a week.Then with a glass of scotch I lighted one on purpose - to see what exactly I was doing for the past 10 years. The taste was awful, the taste of my scotch turned bad and at that moment I realised it doesn`t make me pleasure anymore. I stub it out after the second pull.
"The Insider" is an old movie from 1999 and I strongly recommend it to all smokers - smoking is an addiction and while doing that you are supporting the nicotine dealers luxury life and strenghtening their power.

I am a smoker but I have quit in the past successfully. It can be done but I find that hardest part is staying motivated and focused the entire time. It is important to not lose sight of why you want to quit in the first place, because my mind can get foggy after some time without nicotine.
