Subject: RE: BS: 3 weeks so far (olddude giving up smoking)
one addiction gone, another sneaks in! hmmmmm
I know there are other threads about quitting, full of hints & ideas about quitting & occupying your time (& hands) after doing so.
I quit smoking in the mid 70's after 2 years of drink-in-one-hand-&-menthol-ciggie-in-other, when we started going to the pub several times a week. I smoked because everyone did, especailly while they had a drink in hand, but didn't enjoy it, & didn't like inhaling or smelling like a dead ashtray! I was trying to be sophisticated like they were (were they?). I even took an offered cigarette one day at work, & tried to look grown up & comfortable.
