ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin - Special Extended Version

Hey @Kdad.... You received a lot of good feedback from our amazing Quit-train family. There is one other way to look at our what we have to move through to overcome this addiction we have: the underlying causes of nicotine withdrawl. Here is a post from Dan1, someone I admired from Quitnet Cravings do not exist. Dan 1, March 18, 2007. Cravings - that tightness in the gut, the lungs, the throat. The moodiness, anxiety, and irritability. Those things that seem to be your body and mind SCREAMING for a smoke - they don’t exist. Oh, the symptoms are real, but they are the symptoms of stress, not a `craving`. That stress might have been caused by withdrawal, maybe by fighting a desire or `craving`, or often enough by the puts and takes of everyday life. We’ve come to call it a craving only because we’ve been self-medicating our stress for so long with nicotine that we don’t properly recognize stress when it smacks us in the face. It’s time to learn more effective, much safer methods of stress management. Apply them here, and the `cravings` disappear in short order.

Thats awesome @Kdad ... not one puff ever. You are doing great. Have a good day.
