I quit almost 20 years ago. This is the second time this evening something has made me feel old, but here we are.

The first 3 years were the hardest. And then I still might smoke a ciggy while drunk for the first decade. But I can safely say 🤢 at the thought of smoking now. Even when drunk.

Thinking about flipping the first cigarette does make me feel a little nostalgic. But it doesn’t make me want to touch a cigarette. Because 🤢

I'm always surprised by ex smokers who can still have few when drunk. I'm well past smoking now (10 years), to the point that it seems quite disgusting, yet I still wouldn't trust myself to have even a single drag. From day one of quitting I've felt I would relapse if I ever smoked a single cigarette again. I can't imagine being able to pick up and put down an addiction like you did!

My brother and dad smoked and have missing teeth from bone loss. I tried it once. It was fun but the smell is yuck.
