I st...Just like to echo the chorus of "well done". I stopped smoking on November 10, 1988, and have not regretted it for one day. That I have not felt a single pang or desire, despite being practically a professional smoker (at my height I was smoking around 90-100 a day) I attribute to my surmise that smoking is a habit, and not an addiction. A habit is more insidious, because it hides behind your belief in the addiction. But I'm asure it's a habit. The whole "business" of smoking (for me, the pack of Winstons and the zippo) constitutes a very strong learned behaviour, or something. The trick is to forget to do it.<BR/><BR/>But, as I say, very well done, and the best of luck. O, and try Fruit Gums.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279444759439073832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2453446994434387386.post-34470134205671552152007-08-24T22:19:00.000+02:002007-08-24T22:19:00.000+02:00In rapid brief as have to go and watch 24 (well, d...In rapid brief as have to go and watch 24 (well, doesn't everyone!) but have to say DO KEEP ON with the non-smoking. Having started / given up God knows how many times since I was 17 then I truly know what it's all about. I "gave up" AGAIN 2 weeks and a bit ago (on hols) - I find giving up very easy (after one hard day) but, sadly, taking up even easier, but am determined not to fall for it again! Seriously, I think that it's habit rather than addiction, and that if you do one day, you've done it. But, steering clear of people who might brandish the wretched thing is the trick. Good luck, will keep in touch with this. It's vile, though, because as only you and I and other silly people who've let themselves become addicted know, it's so jolly gorgeous smoking.
