I don't want this to sound like I'm on Elph's side or anything but my quitting smoking was strange and I'm wondering what you guys think.

It's simple. I smoked cigarettes for over a decade every single day and tried quitting multiple times. I never got to a pack a day but 6-8 was the normal. Habitual smoking that HAD to happen if I was, say, on a long car ride or needed to kill time. If I didn't have a cigarette, I'd be very uncomfortable, which is what I interpreted as addiction.

One day last summer I woke up and said "I don't feel like smoking today. Weird. Well, I'm sure I'll want to at some point."

I eventually had to throw my half full pack of cigarettes out. It was like a switch flipped. I didn't even have to try. I just didn't and don't want to smoke cigarettes anymore. I've never beaten something so easily. The first level of f*cking Sonic the Hedgehog was easier.

I don't get it.
