Hello all -I'm a huge podcast listener, it's great company when doing chores. NPR "Hidden Brain" landed 4/15/24 titled "The Curious Science of Cravings".  If we haven't heard it before and we will hear it again, smoking is the most difficult addiction to kick, I swelled with pride that I have joined the many who continue to succeed one day at a time. One point Judson Brewer discussed was; if the strategy is avoid the triggers imagine a smokers lighting up 20 times a day and try to avoid that. Anyway he said it better than I just did...

About the Author
Recently retired at 69 which means I've smoked for over 50 years! Serial quitter like many of you, this time it's different. I've never had an opportunity to stay this present in a quit. In reading old posts of mine, I welcomed feeling everything & do I ever! All feelings are heightened good/bad/indifferent. I've lived in the Sierra foothills since 2003, very happy to be retiring here and be addiction-free.
