Jaset - you have my utmost respect. I agree with Liz in liking your second post more than your first, but now reading your second post I can understand why you wrote the first in the manner that you did. You are a very intelligent man, and obviously one who has put many hours of thought into "smoking" in general. I have spent hours on this website since I first discovered it a few days into my quit, I was going nutty and was trying to find somewhere that would help me out and let me know that what I was going through was "normal", and thank goodness I found this site!! I've read many, many posts, but have paid special attention to many of you "more experienced" quitters, which would be anyone with more quit days on me, or those who have made several attempts to quit. I have been interested in what works for the rest of you, things to avoid, and how to "not fail" on my quit. I suppose I am a new quitter who is still feeling sorta lonely, lost, sad, angry, confused, weak, guilty, ashamed and disappointed in myself. I am female so maybe it's hormonal??? (Help me out ladies!!!) I don't know. I am so angry that I was ever so dumb enough to even try smoking, 'cause it was so cool!! I was 17 when I took that first drag and was pretty much hooked since then, well for the next 15 years, which brings me to now, at 32 and finally woke up and gave a sh** that I was killing myself, and hurting my girls. My hubby has quit with me, he is 16 days quit. I guess it took for one of us to realise how dumb we both were, and that atleast one of us has to not die to parent our kids. You took on an approach to quitting that I haven't read about on the boards yet, again, everything has been pretty fluffy up until I read your post!! And I'll also admit, I was scared!!! I'm glad that you were smart enough to know what was gonna work for you, and if it was the "go get 'em" attitude and "nothing was gonna stand in your way" than so be it. More power to ya!! I applaud you and am secretly jealous that you were able to take such a hold of your addiction and nip it with such confidence and strength!! Thank you for your second post, it has clarified things for me and maybe other "newbies". I'll look forward to reading your posts in the future, but now I'll know where they re
