Smoked for 35 years been off this time for over 6 years. Lately I have had a lot of strong cravings. Wish I knew what the hell they are all about.

I just have to restate...

Those of you who have quit, with whatever method worked for you.... Bravo!

Being bright enough to never start in the first place is all well and good, but being able to stop after getting hooked.... that's something else again.

You have my respect and admiration. I hate you, of course. But that's not really the point here.

If I ever manage to quit, I'll stop hating you.

olebiker....

I was talking to an old guy at work last week. We were having coffee and I was having a smoke since we were outside. Out of the blue he starts talking about how he still gets cravings for a smoke. He's 70-ish and told me he smoked for 20 years and quit 35 years ago. I've heard the same type of reports from other people who have stopped for years. And now you with the same thing..... crap, this don't sound good....

Buzz it ain't like that most of the time. Thats why I wonder what is goin on with me that I think I want a smoke. Believe me I am not that strong or stubborn to hold out for years. I think just my opinion but it took me a lot of tries to finally quit this time. And Man I hope I never start cause I don't wanna quit no more.

What exactly does it feel like to be craving a smoke?

Having never smoked, I honestly do not know what the body (or the brain) is feeling that you get so depserate for a smoke.

What are your symptoms?

It's going to take some one far more eloquent than me to describe that.... if it can be accurately described at all..... which I'm not betting on.

I smoked a Nub cigar tonight, it was mighty tasty.

Relaxing time talking about my upcoming trip, digital cameras and other shenanigans.

Now I know what that awful smell was blowing on the wind today.

Now digital cameras....I love my digital camera. I have tried a few and when I get back working am planning on getting a real digital camera with lenses and a detachable flash......In the meantime, my Canon 6mp works just fine.

I sold 2 photographs today.

Congrats, blues! Your photos look awesome. Mayhap you should start a photography thread.
