Temptation

[ltrainer]

Strange how the brain works. I noticed my old friend, my old brass Zippo, sitting on my dresser today. Suddenly i flashed back to clicking it open and firing up a ciggie and taking a big inhale. I've not even thought about having a cigarette for over two and one half years. Out of nowhere that feeling came. It did pass fast though and the thought of lighting up is almost repulsive now.

Temptation resisted is the sign of true character, Loren.

......but its not any fun!

Hey....wait a minute here. Your sig line........why you old dog! It appears the reported death of your Zippo was somewhat premature, now wasn't it?

Last time I caved to the temptation was very fruitful. I couldn't go past first 3 drags -- it was that repulsive. Had to go brush my teeth for 20 minutes.

If I watch old black white movies I can get a hankering for smoke . I just take a couple pulls from my mod and it goes away

It is a sign you need a new grando or a vv

The only time I sneak a cigarette is right after sex... I've had the same damn pack for over 4 years and there's still 18 left. (One of 'em broke when I closed the cover on the Marlboro box.)

I've known people who've quit for 30 or 40 years and they say they'll still get an odd craving every now and then. Once an addict, always an addict...

Very interestingly, it's true. My dad's quit about 15 years ago, and when I'd smoke in the car with him, he'd ask me to close all the windows so he can bake in all that. I was the same when I'd try to quit smoking.

On the other hand, since I started vaping, I have very little cravings, to the point of seriously disliking the smell of cigarette smoke.

Roger is right. Getting darn slippery up in the Maine woods.

Glad the moment passed, Loren.
