Hood,

Jazzfest is gonna be tough for you... I know from experience. I bring Camel Snus with me to get through it. I used to bring Nicorette Gum. New Orleans is still a smoking city. Be careful. Be prepared because the temptation will be strong down there. Expect it and know how you're going to react and you should be fine.

Cheers.

I know. I mean, I knew, if I quit, it was going to have to be at least a month prior to Jazzfest. Me and uncleeb were just talking about this last night actually. And, the way it worked out, it will be 5 weeks exactly when I head down there. I was thinking about it, and thought maybe what could be nice, is getting a nice cigar for the last day, like Sunday afternoon, as a reward for making it through. But then, that would be nicotine entering my body again and I don't need that.

SO.... I'm thinking I'm gonna need to stock up on sunflower seeds!

DON'T GO WITH THE CIGAR. I FELL OFF THE WAGON ONCE WITH A CIGAR SMOKED TOO EARLY FROM THE DAY I HAD QUIT.

Not at all. Honestly, I had tried when it resurfaced a few times, made it a couple days here, a couple days there, but then nab got involved, then jj, and then I realized the only time Uncleeb smoked was around me, and if we were out, I didn't want to be a bad influence on my friend, or deter him in any way from quitting, and knew I needed to quit too, and so this was as good a time as any. So I told him, I smoked my last cig last night, don't bother asking me for one next time we're out. I won't have any. I'm done. And that was that. Well, it wasn't that easy, shit, it's still hard. Last night was hard. It gets easier, but it doesn't go away.

Anyhow, no need to feel bad mbw, you'll do it whenever you feel like it, if you ever feel like it. I'll tell you this though, it's easier with the support of friends and when you know others are going thru the same thing you are. It helped me at least.

Just so you know, it does completely go away. Around three months, I never craved it again. Thought about it when I saw someone smoking but there was no need behind the thought. Trust me, you will turn around some day soon and go "wow, it's not there anymore, no matter how deep I look".

Ser.  The closest I've been in a while is that I'm leaving my smokes at home when I go to work.  Somehow, knowing they're at home allows me to not rush to the gas station on lunch break for a pack, and that buys me 8 hours of not smoking.
