I quit smoking too. Started smoking in my late teens(seems that's when every one starts) and quit about 13 years later, smoked pack and a half a day. Actually quit several times before the final time. Haven't had a cigarette since 1982. First week was h*ll, it got easier after that. The cravings got less and less each day, not sure how long it took before I didn't really miss it. Several months maybe? I still craved cigarettes every once in awhile, maybe ever few months or so I'd get a craving. About 10 years or so ago, I stopped having cravings completely.
He IS playing with fire and this is sort of beside the point, but he is in an adulterous marriage.....I know everybody here like Catherine, however, Michael Douglas has a living spouse and he is probably not really wanting to explain to God much...
It is necessary to alter quite a bit of daily life when you decide to quit. And it’s a good idea to keep your decision to yourself.
