Seven smoke-free months now.
One problem - last week the wife and I were out having pizza. They had Sam Adams on tap so I ordered one. Now, I don't drink much any more, and when I do it's generally sipping expensive scotch at home. This was the first time I'd drank beer out since I had quit. As soon as I'd swallowed my first mouthful (Sam Adams on tap is wonderful, BTW) the cigarette demon said HEY fuckER I'M STILL HERE AND YOU CAN'T DRINK BEER WITH A SMOKE, DAMMIT! GET ME A MARLBORO NOW! Oh my God it was like someone walked up and punched me. Now, I was at a non-smoking restaurant, and the urge was long gone by the time I left, but I don't know what I'd have done if there had been somebody sitting there smoking. That would have been tough. The moral of the story - cigarette demon is still lurking. It will try to hit you over the head with a bottle (or glass) of beer, so be ready for it. |

True, Tim.
I was waiting in line at a convenience store yesterday. I was fixated on a can of tobacco. I wanted it SO badly. I should really pay at the pump. |

I quit this week as well.
I had said I wanted to be smoke free by my birthday.
Didn’t quite make it.  BUT!! I started coming down with a bug last Sat, by Sunday I was in bed all day, Monday, -Wed were rough, but I managed.The doc isn’t quite sure if I had a touch of food poisoning, or a slight flu bug, either way, it’s now 1:29 am, and I’ve officially gone 6 days with out a smoke.  Quit cold turkey, and today was work day #2 with out one. Don’t know if I’m starting to feel any better or not??  But I know one thing is for sure, since the headaches have passed you can’t say 2 words to me without some primal force taking over and having me want to kill you. (Go ahead and say it, a RaIders fan gonna go to prison for murder!  ) I’ll keep you posted!
