This is really good information, bypass, thanks for sharing with us. My guy had open heart surgery and, God love him, he has no desire to smoke ever. Glad you see the light!

Bob, I agree with the others here. Excellent post. [quote] For those of us who have so long been addicted, we must re-define who we are knowing that we are now better than we were.

Thanks for the post bypass. Your words about redefining ourselves ring very true with many of us. I was a 25 year smoker and every life event, every daily activity requires my new identity. It is the relearning of living that sends many people back to the smokes. Good luck to you.

Bob, Your words are so full of truth that they should be made required reading for every child, everyday from the time they are 10 until they turn 21! Life can be a cruel teacher, but you have somehow managed to finally learn without the ultimate price. Perhaps your "second chance" is for you to help others see the horrors of this addiction and to have such an impact that you will save a life. Well done and best wishes. [b][color=Purple]Be Strong.

So many people come here seeking help in ridding themselves of this terrible addiction. Your presence on this site can be of great help to the membership. Congratulations on your decision to save your life by not smoking. Welcome to the SSC.
