When I felt funny in my chest and twitchy, craving terribly I chewed on things like carrot sticks, pretzels, and strong dark chocolates.. :) I liken the feeling in the chest to physical therapy... it feels different and may hurt but it's strengthening, and smoking to the muscle relaxer, it feels better even normal again but it won't rebuild or repair. I thinks our lungs are truly free from a sedative in a sense they are finally able to stretch and work as intended but they have to get back in the swing of things. :)

Hey Gypsy.

 

Quit.

 

or don't.

 

To paraphrase Allen Carr. If addiction is a prison, you have the key.

 

Just quit. You absolutely can.

 

Thanks, El B. If I beat bone cancer (no recurrences in 16 years), I can certainly get through this.

Right now the addict in you is whispering-why quit you ONLY smoke a pack a week. Now is the best time to break the cycle.
