This is a great thread Shevie. I can say that I have been there and done that to all of you. Here is my twisted junk thought. Living with Pete's quit has some real conflicts that are just sympathy craves and knowing where she is coming from when she tells me that the craves are super strong. I thought to my self the other night way not just give in and then I realized where I was and who I was and that I have to be more attentive to my quit as well as Pete's until she is strong enough in her quit to stand alone.
It is good people like you Shevie that are honest enough to relate the real process of quitting and the dangers of becoming too sure of ourselves. This is an excellent reminder that we all need to pay attention.
Thank you

Wow Adam! I go away for a week and this is what I come back to? I really hate to bust your bubble so I won't. You have received some great advise from some truly great people it is up to you to take it or leave it. I quit cold turkey after 58-60 years of non stop smoking a pack and a half a day. I went through hell, heck and blah weeks just like all those before me. By smoking you have damaged your mind, body and soul. Repair takes time and determination again your choice. Life is all about choice and there is no escaping that. Quit or don't, again it is your choice. I am going to leave you with a quote and I hope you pay attention to it.

Congratulations BFS. Knowing your track history this is inded an amazing milestone you have reached. Watching you come and go, so to speak, your trip to the beach has to be one of the better things to occur in your life. :) I will keep you in focus as you proceed on with your journey to freedom from addiction. The 6-12 Club now awaits you and somehow I know that you will make it there. Reward yourself and never forget who you are.

I will be gone most of tomorrow so I am posting this today, one day early. Georgie you are here, you have made it one whole year and like the rest of the Unsmokeables your courage, determination and respect for yourself cannot go unnoticed. What a major milestone in your road to freedom. I am presenting your roses to you in a framed setting. One rose for every month of your quit.
