Shevie, Think you are referring to my post. I might be using the wrong terminology, but in my opinion, and it's only my opinion, there is a big difference between a nocotine 'crave' (by which I mean physical withdrawal symptom) and a memory trigger. No way am I trying to say that a memory trigger (or whatever it should be called) cannot be a powerful force. The point I am trying to make is that in my own quit, things are certainly much better. I know several long term quitters who I have discussed these issues with. I have only met one or two who have returned to smoking after a long period of abstinence. I certainly am not trying to lull new members into a false sense of security; I thought that what I said was that generally, things do get better over time. The Internet is a powerful tool for getting ideas and opinions across. I do try to read each post carefully. Perhaps I need to be a little bit more careful in future...

BFS, - Ha - I thought this was a drum story too LOL. Shevie, you're right, the best way to deal is to be suspicious as hell like me and always EXPECT a CRAVE and that it can happen ANYTIME.

Thanks Shevie, I'm a firm believer in knowing as much about something as I can before getting into it. I don't think it should scare people to see people here getting killer craves further on in their quits...it should, instead, prepare them for the seriousness of it. :8|: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/18/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 123 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,935 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1107 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 20 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54

Shevie Thanks [quote] everyone is talking or focused on what is in their own head, no one is really listening, you can't be heard over the din, and what is heard are only fragments that are taken out of context and run with, passed on with other out-of-context fragments until it is all mixed up into a goo of confusion [/quote] [quote] Nicotine recovery is a long, slow process with periods of up and periods of down. We cannot focus on the now. If we do we lose sight of the future. If we lose sight of the future, we are lost.
