After 17 years of not smoking

rv, You picked a great place to come for support. I know that you can see that. There is someone here 24 /7 and you don't have to worry about waking anyone up. You also don't have to pretend that everything is good if it isn't. Seriously, we have been there with the smoking. And alot of the life issues. Don't shock easy anymore. Keep looking around, take what you can use, and leave all the rest. Make some friends, they will come in handy in Feb. or before. ;) Read, and read, and read some more..there are bound to be kindred souls here somewhere.

Rvrgrl, my heart goes out to you. Don't beat yourself up over smoking. I know I would have done the same thing in your situation. Cigarettes have always been there for us, although not our friend, their appeal is deceiving. Be strong and be good to yourself. Karen.

I am one of those 'men' persons mentioned above. Yet, I feel for you just as the woman do here. Just remember, you deserve better and find a way to deal with it in a positive way. The 23 year old philly will drop the old man like a hot potatoe once she wears him out. Just do not take him back. That is all the free marriage advice I am giving out today. Now to the most important thing --- Your addiction. If you continue to smoke then he wins. If you stop it now he loses in a couple of ways. Make him lose by you getting back on the health wagon without nicotine. I do not even know you but feel a sense of caring here. We all do.
