Subject: RE: BS: 3 weeks so far (olddude giving up smoking)
Good for you!! I wish you the intestinal fortitude to keep on abstaining.

The aunt who raised me was a long time smoker - starting at 16 years old in the 1920s - and never successfully gave it up until she was 80something. I don't reccomend her method, however. She had Alzheimers, and was in an assisted living facility where the residents weren't allowed to smoke in their rooms & the nursing staff kept their ciggie stash. She eventually forgot she smoked... completely. When asked by a visitor if she wanted one, her reply was "oh, I don't think I do that... do I?"

I wish you the wits to battle this successfully & I hope the surge in how good things taste satisfies the oral cravings... if not, there's always taking up harmonica when you want to take a drag!

c\_/ cheers!
