Tobacco use does a lot of damage to the brain�s pleasure/reward centers that takes a long time to recover. There is where the addiction resides. You won�t be craving all the time, don�t worry about that. ..." How true! Even after 8 months of quitting, I sometimes still feel a crave. I would say it's a craving for C. "C" here is not Cigarette, but it is Comfort. Yes, craving for Comfort! :) That's why I have written before, to those quitters who believe in that "magic" drug (approved by the FDA last year), please be prepared to cope with those unexpected moments of craving, long after you stop taking the drug.

It is so good to see you post again. I too have been gone from the site and I still read some but in general only respond to my good friends here. Roxanne and I have been (naughty) all over the world and plan to continue to do so (LOL). Hope life is becoming good for you after all the hell that has come your way. Keep posting your knowledge, this SITE need all the help it can get and you are one of the main contributing factors that keep it alive. Miss you my dear friend and I hope to hear from you. E-mail me if you have the time and the rr. address. Love and good wishes to you Duffis.
