What constiutes a "slip".. one puff?.. one cig?..one pack?.. a minute? an hour? a year? Really, 3 puffs on a cig 6 days into a quit for a person who smokes a pack a day still counts as "non-smoking" to me.

All right Phillip and Duffis.....if you want to see some grey, I'll send you a picture of myself. I just painted my bathroom two shades of grey. It was grey outside the last 3 days (Rochester NY). Maybe I'm starving for some black and white!!! I know, I know. Glad you see some humor in it, just the same!

Bob Your bathroom must look very smart. And I am just across the lake there has been little but an overwhelming grey for days here. And it's the stuff in he middle that I like the corned beef in the rueben and the cherries in the pie. Rob47 Withoutyour imagery today I probably would be as grey as the sky. Thanks for the conversation and the humour. I am off to swim and clear another bit of guck off my lungs.

I posted this a long time ago after my darling bride slipped for the second time. It was in response to the same cycle of slipping that has the boards buzzing this week. "For many personal reasons I was not going to respond to this thread. For those of you who are extremely close to me know the difficulties I have had with Pete and her inability to maintain a quit. She has twice (2 dam times) blown a 5 (five dam months) quit. Did this affect me? Well knowing that it is fatal for her to keep on smoking with her acute COPD, wondering when the coughing spells were going to cause a heart attack, wondering how much longer in life I had to share with her here on earth. Naw it doesn�t bother me. What does bother me is some of the posts that I read here on the SSC. I agree and disagree with all of you. I see a lot of subjective as well as syllogistic reasoning being applied to this argument. Black and white with not much grey allowed. Thank goodness for moderation. I personally believe that every member of this site is sincere and well meaning and not the kind of person that is hurtful. The process of withdrawing from nicotine addiction is a lonely and very personal experience. All the support in the world will not relieve the pain and thought process we all must go through. Some of us have it easier than others. Some of you will mature in your quits and the longer you go without smoking the more you will mellow out and become less critical and more supportive. If you think Golferman can dish out tough love, you should have read some of my posts way back before I grew up in my quit. I have replaced anger with compassion. Empathy for sympathy, understanding for logic. Writing this is very difficult for me as I have only quit once after smoking non stop for 58 years; it started to help my wife quit and ended up being my very own - the hell with anyone else- quit and that is the way it is today. I heard from a very dear friend who I share e-mail with and was informed this morning that in a drunken stupor a 500 day quit went out the door. My god I cannot begin to accept this (yet). My friend was so strong yet in a moment of weakness was back smoking. Yes Mary Jane it can happen to you and at any time in your waking moments. Can we preven
