It was 8 months and I was strong, feeling so good, healthy and happy. 8 months was the longest period since I was 16 years old (32 years ago) that I had gone without nicotine in my body. I know I am an addict, but I went through the Holiday season parties without any desire for a cigarette and I felt so confident. One night last month, I decided that a glass of scotch and a cigar would be a wonderful match especially since I felt as if I was over the need for Nic. I puffed down a big ole cigar and popped a couple of glassed of fine scotch. I felt fine and didn�t have the need to smoke. However, three days later, I told myself that I really enjoyed the cigar so I smoked another. A couple of days later another then I bought a cigarette-sized cigar and that was it. I have been fighting cigarettes ever since. I reinforced the fact that I was not just addicted to cigarettes; I am addicted to the Nic. This is the� keen sense of the obvious�, but do not let yourself get tricked seeing other supposed ex-smokers puffing a cigar and think that �I can safely do so as well�.
The journey is again a tough one but it is a journey so worthwhile. I will now be a ZERO days meter man, my friends.

that is great both of you. It is worth posting for all to see one can at least maintain and maybe even lose weight after they quit. Gaining weight is a concern for so many of us but you both have proven it is possible to work it out.Thanks

Seems like my short term memory has improved significantly. More focus, more oxygen, not groggy all the time etc. can be attributed to this.
Has anyone else experienced this benefit?
