I have to agree with broknbck. The drugs affect our brain much more than we realize. I've learned much here on this site in the last few weeks. I didn't expect it to last so long either, and was tempted to give in more than once to relapse. Once I learned I was having PAWS, it helped me to understand things a bit better.
