I guess what Im asking is after you completed the course did the craving come back and how bad was it?

But maybe you won't need any further help--I gather that the fact you WANT to stop, and set a date to stop, and did stop on that date, will all be really helpful, as so much of it is psychological. (I think this is Carr's approach).

Also, think about how the doctors say after stopping for even one month, or six weeks I think it is now almost?--your lungs and whole body are ALREADY showing the benefits, already cleaner, healthier, and working better...

So, tho it's cheeky of me as I have never suffered with this particular addiction (now potato chips/crisps--that's another story!), I add my voice to everyone else's--

WELL DONE for having come so far! And DON'T go backwards!!
