7 hours is a win if you can repeat it for the next 7 hours and like, 7 hours for the rest of your life.
7 hours is not a "win" unless you think you can beat tobacco.
I think my greatest sort of "not" time frame win was like 5 weeks in the psych unit and then the State hospital where tobacco was banned.
OVER a MONTH I beat tobacco. Except, I had lit cigarettes in both hands the moment I left. Time means nothing. To be fair, I wasn't thinking about smoking the Majority of the time I was plotting how to kill my doc (he deserved it) and either getting away with it, or committing suicide right after. That's hard in a psych unit. Took a lot of thought. I thought PLENTY about smoking in between though.
Time and INTENT mean a lot.
Srsly I also did not smoke for 18 months while pregnant and nursing the WHOLE TIME I was craving a cigarette.
That was the most labor intensive, well earned cigarette I ever smoked. 18 months later.
I asked my doc if I should get pregnant again to quit and he kind of snorted, and said, "Anna, you could have TWENTY babies and STILL be smoking at the end of it."
I was like, "Um yes, that is true."
Time actually means less than pure intent.
My desire to not acquire COPD at age 43 was SUPER PURE let me put it that way
