Blue - I am so glad it helped. Overwhelmed by emotion I get - I cried so much in the first six months, my keyboard nearly floated away. And yes, I like you, always blamed someone else for my failed quits. In my case, it was my husband. He just didn't understand, I would say. I would make him promise to be supportive, but when I turned into the b**** from hell each time, and he would lose patience, I used this over and over again as an excuse to start again. This last (and final) time - he got so exasperated with me, that in the middle of a heated argument, he told me to go outside on the porch and smoke! (He of course felt terrible later - he had always wanted me to stop) But, You know what? It didn't matter how he felt! I DIDN'T go outside and smoke!!! I finally had decided that no person and no thing was going to make me smoke again. It took that level of commitment for me to succeed.
I wish you the best. You are on the right track. Fifteen days is still deep in the woods, but each and every day gets easier, and I promise you that some day this obsession will go away and your equilibrium will return and you will wonder what in the heck took you so long. The freedom is delicious!! Best wishes!!
