I have been completely smoke free now for... I think about 6 weeks? Not sure, my little banner lies... I did not fully quit for a couple two or three weeks, and I now proudly call myself an EX-smoker. Anyway...
I was sitting on the couch last night and started patting the side table. I got more and more frustrated. Finally my brain told me to look at my hand to see what it was doing. I was looking for my pack of cigarettes and lighter! Since I have neither at the moment, and have not for a while (all ashtrays are washed and used for very different purposes now, like holding bottles of fluid!), I find it freaky that my hand is reaching out without me even thinking about it!
I took a deep breath, cleared my mind, and grabbed the PV. How long will that feeling of reaching for an analog go on? Not that I want one, it just seems to be a knee-jerk, ingrained action.
