What a great message, Keith. I appreciate it very much & I'm sure some other newbies will, too. The best part is, I'll be able to sing after 8 months? That's awesome, I never could sing!

Anna, I have tried to see my quit as a positive thing & do it in a positive way from the start. I've never been able to do that before, I have always dwelt on the misery, the crankiness, blh,blah,bah. This site and positive, encouraging posts like yours are what has made the difference this time. There is a video about that fish market & it's really uplifting.

Hi, Peteg. Just jumping in to let you know someone is here. I kind of agree with what golferman beat me over the head with earlier today - there is no GOOD reason, smoking never helps anything. I'm glad you're back though & hope you stay with it this time. It's going to be pretty disheartening to a lot of newbies to see that after 200+ days, you can still have cravings that keep you from thinking. I really think your inner junkie was in control there, Pete & you made the wrong choice to feed him.

I know, how could anyone? I am absolutely mortified whwn I think of clients coming into my office right after I'd had a smoke, or my kids' friends getting a whiff of that. Gross.

OMG, mylast. I want to say, "are you kidding me?" but that is exactly the way I would have thought, too. "Well, he's not dead yet so I can go till I'm at least that old." You're right, this is a horrible, evil thing. I used to feel so hopeless about not being able to quit. Now that I know how many other people have thoughts like that, I'm so relieved & much more positive & I know I CAN quit. Thanks for sharing that.
