well, after 38 years of it here I go...

Well, thanks for the kind words and advice everyone. I made it through yesterday but almost lost it this morning. There, a mere six feet away sat my wife's cigarettes. My brand too. But, I somehow managed to tough it out. Feeling somewhat disconcerted today; everything just doesn't seem quite "right." More than a bit ornery too. Baby ducks might be well advised to steer clear of me until hell week is over . Have to admit that I overall feel physically better though. Very little coughing this morning and I can already take deeper breaths. And look, I saved $4 !!!
 
I'm gonna move over to the "Forum for New Users and General Discussion" now. Again, thanks for the support everyone.

Day #2 temptation survived...

Holy cow. Here I am out in my office and everybody in the house leaves. I know my wife's cigarettes are in there and I can CLEARLY hear them calling to me. I swear my mind was a battlefield of rationalizations vs "oh no I'm not." Who's going to know if I crack right?
 
Well, there it was right on my computer screen. YOU GUYS would know. I had to get up and pace the room a bit to settle down but all is under control now. Thanks for the hand. Sometimes all you have to do to help is to just be out there somewhere.
