Inescapable Truth #8 “The Rule Of 3’s”

Mac’s Rule Of Three’s

From the moment you smoke your last cigarette… Know Ye This:

It will be 3 days before you can concentrate on ANY significant thing other than the fact you want a cigarette desperately.

It will be 3 days before you get a good nights sleep.

It will be 3 days before you can go a solid MINUTE without thinking about a cigarette.

It will be 3 weeks before you can go a solid HOUR without thinking about a cigarette.

It will be 3 months before you can go a solid DAY without thinking about a cigarette.

And you will NEVER, EVER, NEVER… stop wanting one.

It’s been over 10 years for me. And I will not lie to you. The smell of cigarette smoke still turns me on. Every time I walk through a cloud of smoke in a restaurant I’m gripped by the lust for a smoke. It passes quickly. It only lingers a moment, or two. But it’s there. And it’s real. And it will never change.

Hey… I never said it was going to be easy.
