Which I've done, but I started up again for lame reasons. Still, the fact that I would sit around chain smokers and feel no desire to smoke means, to me, that I beat it. Because I started it up again (cigars during celebration periods, which didn't immediately land me back in cravingland, smoking to help stay awake on the drive home (it was 19 then 21 hrs of driving in a 48 hr period)) doesn't mean that i didn't quit the first time.
Actually I agree with that, but judging by his posts he hasn't gone through a period like in the bold. Just curious, what caused you to quit?
