My brother asked me what quitting drinking was like.

5. I quit smoking in '87.

For several years afterward not a day went by
without me thinking how great a cigarette would
taste. After meals was the worst but eventually
the craving went away. Also what helped me
through the first several days was Altoids.
The strong mint flavor served as a substitute
for the tobacco and my breath was a lot better.
When I see how much cigarettes cost these days
I'm so glad I was able to stick it out.
