The decline in nicotine level creates a stress response.
That's what most addictions do, they create the need for themselves.
I quit 6'ish years ago.
It took a couple months from my normal stress responses to come back online. They atrophied while I "medicated" stress with nicotine, but they did come back.
My inner social justice warrior would love to take a shot at Arkansas for...well it's a long list, but I've a soft spot for lovely woman from there I haven't talked to in years, and I'd loath her to happen back round and feel disrespected by me.
Piggott being a place(Yes forumites it's a place, I checked) with a population of 3000, how many women your age do you imagine could possibly live there who you don't already know?
Assuming an average lifespan of 70 years there are 42 people of each age 1-70 in Piggott. Assuming half are not the gender you are interested in that leaves 21 people of each age. Assuming a date-able age range of 10 years...that's 210. Factoring in a conservative married rate of 25% we're back down to 152-ish.
152 potential women in Piggott, OP.
You'd be better of just looking them up and calling each of them.
