Oh come on Roz. Are you not feeling just a little sleepy 17

What you experienced today is not unusual Parsley. You are 5 weeks or so into the quit and things have been getting easier to manage because you've battled through the constant craving of those very early days and weakened your addiction's strength. Now, you have a lot more "positive days" but your addiction is mad as hell that you aren't feeding it any longer and it will try to bush-whack you hard from time to time over the coming days and even weeks. Not often like in early days but it will challenge your quit commitment when you least expect it. That's how this addiction works. You have to outsmart it. As Jane said - remain always vigilant! Very important during the first few months in particular. Great job though today in meeting the challenge that your addiction threw at you! That's the way to do it. That's the way to craft a lifetime quit

It hasn't come east ..... Yet! They got over 40 cm's (16") there yesterday though. Not a promising outlook when it starts this early and there's that much ?

You're right about the association most everyone make between lung cancer and smoking. Smoking is a major factor in a large number of diseases you never want to get but still people link it with lung cancer. Maybe because that link has been popularized by the media over many years and it's a scary concept people can visualize and understand. If you told someone that long term smoking could lead to Buerger's Disease, they would probably look at you with a puzzled look on their face. That's as real a possibility as lung cancer from smoking but many people just aren't aware.

You're NEVER alone here My Life. We have all walked in your footsteps at some point. That is how we get to be free of this horrible addiction

Best wishes for a safe, smooth delivery!

Hey My Life - you have been fighting this addiction with everything your have for weeks now and your addiction knows it's losing the battle. It will wait until you are at your weakest then hit you with everything it still has left in a desperate attempt to draw you back in. Trust me! This sounds overly dramatic but it is the way this addiction works. I've been there. Yes, you're 5 or 6 weeks into your quit but that's still young in the grand scheme of things. I remember struggling horribly a couple of times around my own 6 week mark and soon after that, things were much more manageable. Hang in there My Life - you'll get there too
