It will get easier. I remember when I had been quit for about a week, I got ticked off at something, and I started across the street to buy a pack of cigarettes. I stopped in the middle of the street, turned around and went home, and it never bothered me again. Isn't there something about the two minute urge, or something like that, that if you can resist the urge to smoke, then the urge will get less? I'm not sure about the details, but I know it exists. For me it was realizing that smoking was harming my body. And all those smokers who I admired were really not doing anything so admirable after all. One thing I found when I quit smoking is that I had so much more time, just in a practical sense. <BR/><BR/>Since we're talking about books, I just got through reading Gift from the Sea, by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Great book. Every woman should read it, and every man should too. It is about getting in touch with your true self, and also about relationships.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, my wife died almost two years ago now.Ed Bremson, MFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417014869159980812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-1139534795209350452006-02-09T20:26:00.000-05:002006-02-09T20:26:00.000-05:00Hey Joel, no offense taken.

I'm sorry if what I said last week about you being single was a foot-in-the-mouth. It was meant to be nice, I promise you.<BR/><BR/>As for getting shut of Old Man Nicotine, I've been that route too. I keep remembering what Twain said: "It's not difficult to stop smoking. I've done it a hundred times."<BR/><BR/>BTW, I thought it was illegal to quit smoking in Kentucky. Doesn't that mess with the economy there?Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238001380092215123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-1139503573143945102006-02-09T11:46:00.000-05:002006-02-09T11:46:00.000-05:00From the second picture, I'm presuming my nude pho...From the second picture, I'm presuming my nude photo somehow got printed in the book...Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664920037425489644noreply@blogger.com
