This is true for every addiction I know of, and tobacco is one of the strongest addictions there is. Truly, you only quit one day at a time. And some days? One hour at a time. So good on you for not smoking today, and I'll lift a glass to you tonight.
Meanwhile, for eBooks, I don't ever think of all the books I won't read, but of all the books I CAN read. And the older I get, the more I enjoy going back to old favourites.
