Maria, Please tell your husband, sorry for the loss of his friend. This is one of the reasons I am quitting. This cancer thing just scares the you know what out of me. I have been a smoker for far too long and now is the time. Thanks for your post and I hope a lot of people will think about not restarting.

Marie, I'm really sorry to hear that. It definitely puts smoking into perspective though. Tell your hubby I'm sorry for the loss of his friend. Smoking is a terrible addiction.

Thanks everyone, I am doing good, I have been under a lot of stress lately and have been dealing with it without the crutch. Smoking just isn't an option for me anymore, I just don't ever want to go through quitting again ,ever. I hardly ever think about it and if a thought enters my mind I will it away as soon as it reaches the conscious. I am free of the slavery of this horrible addiction and I am thankful for my new life. I walk a lot, I exercise at the gym 3 times a week and I am in great shape except for 15 pounds (hihihi) but I look at it as good fat, free of smoke hihihi more of me to love. I will never let my guard down, I am still crossing the days on the calender every day and I still do it one day at a time.
