Thanks John
Well, it seems that I've moved beyond the "late afternoon crave". I still don't know what caused it, but I'm assuming it was a blood sugar thing or whatever. Not important. The important thing is I'm still not smoking! I downloaded a quit meter which now reads Two weeks, five days, 12 hours, 11 minutes and 8 seconds. 487 cigarettes not smoked, saving $175.57. Life saved: 1 day, 16 hours, 35 minutes. I'm not sure what the "life saved" field signifies, but I assume it means that is the amount of time I would have spent smoking all those cigarettes. In any case I feel absolutely fantastic!
This is incredible. Every single time I ever tried to quit before failed simply because I gave in to cravings and "cheated" the odd puff, then the odd smoke, then the odd pack... Next thing you know I was back to smoking like a fiend! Back to a 45 minute coughing fit every morning. Back to my car and my house stinking. I never knew or understood the law of addiction, and I had a myriad of excuses as to why I should take a puff. I do recall though, each and every attempt I made at quitting, a little voice in the back of my mind telling me.. "if I wasn't going to smoke any more, then why take that puff." I guess that was a small sane part of my mind trying to get me to see my smoking for what it was, and what it is... an addiction.
