Shevie,
Think you are referring to my post. I might be using the wrong terminology, but in my opinion, and it's only my opinion, there is a big difference between a nocotine 'crave' (by which I mean physical withdrawal symptom) and a memory trigger. No way am I trying to say that a memory trigger (or whatever it should be called) cannot be a powerful force.
The point I am trying to make is that in my own quit, things are certainly much better. I know several long term quitters who I have discussed these issues with. I have only met one or two who have returned to smoking after a long period of abstinence.
I certainly am not trying to lull new members into a false sense of security; I thought that what I said was that generally, things do get better over time.
The Internet is a powerful tool for getting ideas and opinions across. I do try to read each post carefully. Perhaps I need to be a little bit more careful in future...
