Didn't think to note the issue date, but the most recent Newsweek magazine has an article about Barak Obama publically quitting smoking -- pretty cool stuff. Most interesting, however, was the article's mention of a prune-shaped thing under our brain's frontal lobe that keeps the cravings alive for as long as it possibly can. I was really encouraged by that, because like so many other people here, I thought I'd be out of the woods by Day 3 or Week 3 or Month 3. The article says the prune-thing can be active for as long as a year!! So I'm not the whiny baby wimp I've been accusing myself of being all these months -- I just have a really big and active prune-thingy. (Isn't just my luck -- the wrong thingy is big and active!) peteg [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/30/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 116 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,821 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $638 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 21 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

Hi Peteg, I think we share the same sort of prune thingy !! I wish mine would shrivel up and die !! I really don't need need it and besides what a few more brain cells. All we need is a way to numb the prune !!
