Deck - make life easier for yourself and throw away the ciggies. If you want to quit, don't torture yourself with those nasty things under your nose. Give yourself a break! :) Welcome back!

I like your Intro. HELL is a very good way to describe it, and going back there I will not. WHY - because I won't forget what it is like. Write down how you feel right now, trying to climb out of the pit. It could make all the difference when you may have a moment considering whether or not you want to go back. Gather your courage and determination. Glad you have taken the first step up, and quit. I think you will win!!!

Thanks a million for all your kind words. As with all the other quits I sincerely hope that this will be the last, but have severe doubts about my ability on the long term. For the moment I am just taking it a day at at time. To be quite honest the first three days were a breeze. I felt absolutely no withdrawal symptoms and no side effects that I could put a finger on. Today however, the fun has really started. People are taking a wide berth around my office, and word has got out that the boss should not be approached with risking life and limb. They're right. It's a bit between hell and heck week, but whatever it is I just hope it improves soon, for both me and the others. One of the reasons that prompted me to give up suddenly this time was that I recently arrived in Mexico city, where as I am sure many of you know between the altitude and the smog, breathing is an issue even if you do not smoke. Of course I came well prepared for my stay with my two cartons of duty-free cigs. I still have a carton and a half sitting on the table in the hotel room. Any ideas on what one could do with them? All suggestions welcome [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/17/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 227 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $65 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 52

Hi All Can I just crawl back in among you folks. Yes it's me again. The onetime 10 month quitter who just couldn't resist that one puff which got him right back up to where he had been in less than the time it took to notice what was happening. Yes after 34 years at 3 packs a day, I went through all of the stages, in quitting, and believe me they were many. Tears, anger, why me? who cares? just leave me alone in my misery type situations all for nothing. That was the end of 2005. Of course having quit once I believed that all I had to do was decide to do so again. No way. I just couldn't do it. And of course if I was feeling bad at not being able to quit again, I was feeling even worse given that every time I quit my weight shot up. I went back on the cigs but never lost the weight. Now I am back hoping that I can succeed again. Looking forward to receiving your support as I really need it.
