All right you guys - why don't you get a "room"... to (mis)use a popular
phrase. Congrats to both of you. June 30 makes 9 years for me. It's
really been a pretty easy 9 years all things considered. It was harder to
quit smoking than it was to quit drinking.


I quit smoking for 5 years, was around some friends who were smoking, I
lit one, had it half smoked before I realized what I had done. It was a
very quick eye opener as to how insidious the disease of addiction is.

I quit a few years back fairly easily even though I am around smokers
a lot. I was going along great until a couple months ago when I got a
new cell phone. It is fairly small and light so I took to sticking it
in my shirt pocket. I couldn't quite figure out why I started feeling
the "urge" every once in a while until once when driving I did the old
habitual touch of the pocket that often proceeded getting out a smoke.
I then realized that the weight in the shirt pocket was bringing back
old responses.
