A big pat on the back Dee for quitting those coffin nails
I know what places you've been and where you're at now because I quit three and a half months ago. I did quit once before (22 years ago after smoking for 24 years.) I managed to quit (after some false starts) going "cold turkey" at the time, (hell)

but managed to stay off the little blighters for 7 years. However, I learned a very bitter lesson when my first marriage broke up. I "hood winked" myself into thinking that I needed just
one or two cigarettes to get me through the misery I was in at the time and
BAM I was back on 20 a day for the next
FIFTEEN YEARS
I have realised that I have to take the same tatics as an alcoholic "
Once a smoker ALWAYS a smoker" To be able to say I've quit, I know I can't fall off the wagon, not even ONCE otherwise I'll be smoking again
The problem with me is I
enjoyed smoking. I enjoyed being in that (I know ever diminishing) little social club. Just ask a smoker all the latest gossip (because he/she picked up all the latest during break times at work)
SIGH...... However, Health, Wealth( or lack of) and down right common sense and responsibilities is now the future (or face the
consequences) and is the better place to be........ Then why do I still lament
Ah well. Enough of my ramblings. I'll just pat myself on the back, and feel happy that once again I'm not on my own with these struggles
Love and understanding to all quitters
