It is amazing what we would do to get a drag. I think you are correct that we are never 100% free. 5 years ago, I had quit for 20 months but foolishly went back. But it definitely gets better. The number of cravings and the intensity goes down. Best of luck with your quit and your arm recovery.

good to hear from you today. this is Andrew getting in another day of not smoking. tonight is tough because I am in one of those moods. That mood being I really want a drink.I have managed to stay away for almost 5 years. it's a little like my smoking habit except its serous business. I don't talk about it much; it was huge problem (or used to be). Dad taught me well, although he only smoked a pipe, same thing except he claims he never inshlad. Bul**it. 

I don't know it you drik at all but alcohoe and cigs are like 2 peas in a pod, they go  together like a married couple, at least in good standing.  Thankfully I am so, she has not idea what I am iup to. ca;l; it closet, in the dark, far out.

Need some support tonight. I wikl be fine if I stay away from the C-Store. God knows that I have ome this far and do not want to (you noe). 

Liostening to my jazz, my savior my love. I sit here alone thinking about life. How good it is wulout the cigs. I dont care abut much except ...

Rnogh. alll a good night.

Andrew

I hope thinks are better, in the morning Andrew, and you refrained from both drinking and smoking.  You are doing the right things, listening to something you enjoy and how much better life is without tobacco.

I do drink and you are correct smoking tends to go with alcohol. For me in part because of the history of using them together. 

For sure, Paul

The two go together like Mutt and Jeff. Hope your serenity keeps you clean & sober.

Andrew
