Subject: RE: BS: 3 weeks so far (olddude giving up smoking)
I'm so glad you're a quitter and a loser - so far - OldDude. I quit, for good, over 30 years ago, after having quit several times before for extended periods. I think one of the main reasons that last one "lasted" was that, unlike the previous times, I was still craving cigarettes after 3 weeks. The cravings didn't stop that time until at least a month had gone by. The earlier times were pretty easy, after the first few days, so I found it easy to kid myself into thinking I could have an occasional cigarette without getting hooked again, and that I could always quit again as easily as before. Wrong. So this time I stayed off because I didn't want to go through weeks of "withdrawal" torment again.
I hope your will power and rewards hold up and continue from now on.
Congratulations on 3 weeks of being sane, slim, and healthy.
