THE DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SMOKING !

You're right about smoking being a disgusting habit, that is almost unbearable when you are not smoking and unnoticeable when you are. I didn't make any conscious decision to smoke it just crept up on me: like one says "a puff away from a pack a day" - really took on meaning when I went effortlessly from a few puffs here and there to 2 packs a day in less time than it took me to notice that again I was spending 10 Euros a day on smokes. We are simply addicts and any contact with nicotine will bring us back to square one.

Congrats on quitting again. My previous quits were like that too. I couldn't stand the smell, taste, etc. I read in a book that I have on quitting smoking that we actually have to "learn" to enjoy smoking. It really is nasty tasting stuff, but the nicodemon monster gets his little feeding and then craves some more. The truth is that one cig won't help you-it'll hook you right back into the illusions that you enjoy it. Txgirl
