It is so confusing that in addiction we crave the very thing that makes us so ill and unhappy. Deep breathes and this posting has been helpful. I will skip the clonie but will need to be more mindful in where I go shopping. Lesson learned.

As I previously smoked 2 1/2 packs of cigarettes a day (haven't had one in several years); but out of no where comes this urge. But I/we know we can't even have one or it's all over and would rather not have to start again at day 1.....
