Quitting smoking?

Well, maybe it's early, I don't know, but I really don't think I'm going to need any help. About the only difficulty I'm having is being a bit edgy, and that seems to be ebbing. I recognize that for some people, quitting is very difficult, but apparently not for me. So far.

So far so good. I'm well past the chemical addiction stage, now it's just dealing with the psychological part. I don't expect I'll ever get completely over that.Someone I know who quit fairly recently said that if he were diagnosed with a terminal illness tomorrow he'd pick it right back up. I suppose that's where I am. I'm not smoking, and I guess I won't again. Quitting wasn't particularly hard for me, and at this point, it's just something I enjoy that I'm not going to do anymore. No back sliding, and no particular difficulty in not back sliding.

Well, I'm at nearly 6 months now, and haven't had any particular cravings since about 2 weeks after I last smoked. I did find one extra cigar that I'd missed a month or so after I stopped, and it still sits where I found it. And now, sometimes days will go by without me even thinking about it.The wife and I went casinoing a couple weeks back, and I suggested to her that we indulge for that weekend, but she nixed the idea, quite concerned that if she started again she might not be able to stop. I honestly don't think it would be difficult for me, but I abstained nonetheless.I do understand that it's a terribly addictive problem for most people, but it really hasn't been very difficult for me in the least.

Yeah, if I'm in a place where others are smoking, I'll sometimes move closer to them to get a whiff. And, a few months ago, I took one hit off a cigarette a friend was smoking. I miss it some, but certain don't crave it by any stretch of the imagination.
