Hi Pat:
 
      Five weeks is an enormous investment, but depending on how you have been progressing at reprogramming the psychological part of the addiciton, you may not have reached "comfort". 
 
     You need to get your "inner addict" to the point where he realizes that he can be comfortable without nicotine.  That is done by celebrating each success, each day, each event without the "usual" cigarette.
 
     There is a string at Freedom,
  • Success stories: before and after
  • that lets you see quitters in their early  healing, and later when they've crossed over the boundary.  

        This is doable..... and while it may be hard at first, it gets progressively easier as you redefine the new ex-smoker person you want to be.

    You can do this!

    BillW  Three years, nine months, four weeks,  41921 cigarettes not smoked, saving $8,279.56. Life saved: 20 weeks, 5 days, 13 hours, 25 minutes.
