It’s always there. Maybe you can scratch it a bit. Maybe you can even get a day or two of relief. But it’s always gonna be with you. Like a memory. Like a cancer. And you’ll feed it cause you’re weak.
I once told the Wife I could quit if I sleep for 3 weeks... Was working 7 days a week, 12 hrs/day minimum at the time and stressing over my fledgling business while going thru 3 packs a day... Then it caught up to me. Had a myocardial infarction and went into a coma for 21 days. Haven't had that itch since, although sometimes I will dream about having a smoke then feel guilty when I wake up.
