@aabbccdd...Well, you're absolutely right there but its interesting that purely psychological urges can be so powerful; the physical addiction to nicotine only lasts about 72-96 hours depending on the individual and then its all in your head but as with any other drug, the WANT is still there long after the actual physical need is gone. I always do well the first two or three weeks then the motivation starts to wane and it gets me every time.
You can do it, Gerry. I wish you luck when you give it a shot at the end of May. I am still keeping up my guard. I know that it would be easy to slip and fall back into that world of smoking. I am doing my best to prevent that from happening.
very good point catfreak ,thats def. motavation ,good luck Grandpa i know you can do it. and good point gerry but since i never smoked one in my life i will never know for sure how hard it is to quit. i did quite drinking pop over a year ago but that wasnt that tough and iam sure its not as hard as trying to quit smoking
Thanks, and Gerry, it may only supposed to be 72-96 hours for the addiction to wear off, but I had what could best be termed as "grand mal cravings" off and on, up to 1 month after I stopped smoking. I had numerous bouts of small cravings, off and on, for a long time after that. I am good to go now, and don't really remember the last craving that I had.
