My Eighteenth, Nineteenth And Twentieth Day

Hi everyone!
So, I'm back after another weekend pause.
The only problem is, I don't really know what to write.
I haven't thought about smoking this weekend.
I guess that's a positive sign.
That brings me back to the "Out of sight, out of mind" theory; my personal conclusion is that smoking is way easier to quit than you might think.
You decide to quit, but then you're not prepared for suffering through the first days of quitting. Then you hear about nicotine gum or plasters, or some weird herb cigarettes. Because you feel the urge to fill that void with something, you go out and get one or more of those products.
But with that you're actually working away from your goal; they keep your desire alive and prevent you from what you're really trying to do: get rid of smoking once and for all.
You have to kill the nicotine craving in a battle rather than hoping to slowly famish it over some time. How does it make sense to take in nicotine a different way to get rid of the addiction?
I went through it, so I'm pretty sure you can too. Just never forget who's in charge of yourself.
