[QUOTE="DDD, post: 102907, member: 35"] Glad to read you are home and on the mend. How lovely that your daugher is traveling to render support. Regarding the cravings..ugh..some people bounce back alot quicker than others. The lst time I quit (in my 30's) I couldn't believe how quickly I began to smell the smoke in the curtains, bedding etc. etc. It was grotesque and I went on a cleaning binge! As they say in AA "I slipped" and almost forty years later I still want to inhale the second hand smoke!! [img]:rolleyes:[/img] It has been about ten years since I finally quit. The problem is that it is no longer nicotene addiction. The cigarette becomes your tranquilizer, your comforter, your companion, your reward...plus it is a physical habit of motion. It's like giving up a best friend who always was there for you through thick and thin. The battle is between your ears and in the emotional part of your heart. I've used all kinds of insane types of mind games with myself. One of my earliest survival games was comparing my much desired cigarettes with a lover I had inbetween marriages. [img]:rofl:[/img] When I was with him everything was terrific. When he flew away to his businesses, I realized he was not the right potential father for my children, he had European concepts of womens rights that I was uncomfortable with etc. etc. Eventually I said ta ta to him which was the right decision. Thirtyfive years later I on occasion still give him more a passing thought! [img]:smile:[/img] Find your own mind game. It works until you can refocus. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
