I did my heavy smoking when I drank beer....every other night but I was always a runner so the smoke didn't stay in my lungs gumming things up for long....that's how it gets ya. So how did I do it after 43 years? I did a Zen thing on myself. I decided the nicotine crave was a better buzz than satisfying it. That's right; I ENJOYED my brain trying to trick my body into harming itself.....damn brain.
I'd discovered during my smoking years that if I ate an apple or a peach or a plum, I didn't want a Marlboro. Don't know why. So I stocked up on fruit and ran twice a day instead of once. After a couple days, much to my disappointment, the cravings subsided down to only a couple a day and then in about 10 days stopped completely. I wasn't as hooked as I thought I was. No patch. No Nicorette gum. No suicide hotline. I just stopped. My doc says my heart is made out of railroad steel and my lungs are still clear and clean. Hopefully I beat the Reaper out of snatching me before my time.
