Thanks for the welcome back. I was traveling with some smokers by airplane. It was a 3 hour flight. One of the men kept saying, "I am dying for a cigarette". Then, they could not even help us at the baggage claim. They both had to go outside FIRST thing to have a smoke. I do remember those days.
Then, we were driving back to Grandpa's house; we were all tired and hungry; one person..."can you stop at the gas station so i can get cigarettes"? everyone groaned..they just wanted to get home...it was a big hassle.
I laid on the beach at Lake Michigan, very relaxed, not craving a smoke. I played volleyball without getting totally winded. There was a couple of times, sitting around a bonfire that i got some cravings to smoke. But, now that I have come to the crystal clear realization that I can not "have just one", it was pretty easy to dismiss the idea of having a cig. There were two social smokers in our group. They did not smoke all day long, until the bonfire at night; and I watched the next morning..neither one of them smoked that day. I found myself kind of envying those people, but, I can not smoke how they smoke. I smoked through thick and thin, health and sickness, all day, every day.
I would say that my vacation was much more enjoyable without the hassle of getting that nicotine fix.
