Hi, Paula. Welcome back. :) Don't think of past attempts as failures. Think of them as learning experiences. OK, I know finals are over, you're out of school, and probably want to take a break from learning. Tough! :p Seriously, have you looked at past attempts and determined why they didn't work? I know you had some real issues back then. Are they still issues? If so, have you come up with coping methods? I know the last few days are the scariest, and they get worse as the day approaches. Try focusing past that day to the time you're nic-free. You've been there before. Remember how good it felt and focus on that. Tell yourself, "That's where I'm headed and I will get there!" We'll be here for you. Just gotta holler. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 344 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,898 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1307.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 64 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 18

Nice friend, lights up in YOUR house after you say you're quitting. I just can't even imagine it. I never smoked in my house, my wife is a non smoker and so are my kids... BUT, if I did smoke in my house, and had quit, I sure as hell would not have let my friend light up in front of me, in my house. As a matter of fact, when he tried I might have had a whole lot to say and I probably would have shown him the door pretty damn quick. I may not even have opened it before I threw him through it. I can't understand why you allowed it. Good luck on your next try.
