Hi

Welcome CMJ I know what you mean I love to smoke myself.. I like the weight of a fresh pack in my hand. I like seducing that perfect cylinder out of its hiding place and bringing it to my lips. I like striking the match and watching it become a perfect flame..knowing soon that flame will be inside me. I like bringing the match to the cigarette and breathing in, all the smoke filling me until I think I can't stand it anymore then whooooosh as I exhale.. I like watching the swirl of smoke as it leaves me, no two swirls ever quite the same. But, I also like to be able to breathe! I don't like smoking in public and having people glare at me like I am some kind of smoking demon out to destroy them with my second hand smoke. I don't like watching my father choke and gasp for air..tying his shoes..wondering if that is going to be me. So when some really bad craves hit..I think of my reasons for quitting I try distracting myself..I try food or straws.. but a few times I have just had to throw myself on the floor and grit my teeth and bear it. I find in a few minutes I feel crazier for rolling around on the flooring , than not for not smoking. KTQ!!!!

Finally here in Ohio

Funny you should ask.. I live in Las Vegas Nevada (yes sin city), and our smoking laws go into effect tonight at midnight. They only place you will be allowed to smoke now will be on the casino floor. Which is weird, because you have been able to smoke everywhere until now. The passing of the law (which I voted against) is actually one of my biggest reasons to quit. I was so bummed out when it passed, thinking that it was a infringement on my rights and yada yada yada. Then it occured to me that if I quit I would not care about anti-smoking laws anymore. So I guess what I am saying is I can't wait for midnight!! KTQ.. Nicodemon

Owning up to my relaspe

You guys are very nice.. Yes I am jealous that you are smoking again I would love to smoke again (I never will, but sure would love to) The truth is if smoking did not have such a public stigma to it and was not so expensive I would never have quit. I love smoking.. I don't ever really ever expect to think of smoking as a negative. If I could I would go back in time to the 40's and 50's just so I could smoke. But, I quit who know why I sure don't!! You guys are all doing great!! KTQ..
