I'm trying to quit smoking (again) and I'm having a rough time. I have moments when I feel like a heroin junkie going through withdrawal. I keep thinking of that scene in Trainspotting with the baby crawling across the ceiling. I hope the patch does not cause me to dream about that tonight.
I've also thought about the Trainspotting scene with the disgusting toilet. I've been using that as a point of reference. Clearly I'm not that much of an addict. If a pack of cigarettes were to be floating in that toilet, I would not retrieve them.
At least I don't think I would. Not if they were menthol, anyway.
We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

I know what you mean. 3 years later and I still have cravings, almost everyday, especially when I'm stressed, which is almost everyday.
I've heard that quitting smoking is even harder than quitting junk because nicotine affects all parts of the brain.
You just need the right moment. Reading Cash describe his amphetamine addiction in one of his autobiographies did it for me.
If I can find the book, I'll send it to you.
