Shannon's DMSI V2.3 Journal

[Shannon]

I don't know how y'all did it so easily, but when I stopped smoking 25 years ago, it was the hardest thing I had ever done... and I had a strong desire to quit. To put it in perspective, Marine Corps boot camp was a walk in the park by comparison.

It took another five years of occasional psychological cravings to be completely free of it.

LOL... I remember, just a couple of years after my last cigarette, I was walking down the street in Hong Kong, taking in the ambiance of the Temple Street night market. When, all of a sudden, I got a whiff of beer. For some reason, that triggered an intense craving for a cigarette. I had to stop for a moment and get my head on straight before I could stamp it out and move on.

Much respect. You did it, and did it the hard way.
