What Quiting Cigarettes Feels Like

Kevin Burton mused that not having a computer must be what quitting cigarettes feels like.  Well, it depends on whether you are quitting for the first time or the Nth time.  Last time I quit was January of this year as I welcomed my 40th year on this planet.  I quit smoking for 6 months.  I am back smoking knowing fully how bad smoking is.  Being a smoker is like being the guy in the movie Alien who had a baby Alien growing in his chest.  You just don't know when its going to 'say hello' face to face.  With supposedly 5% chance of success, quitting smoking at this point feels like taking Alka Seltzer to rid of the baby Alien.
