Cheers, guys.  I have to admit this still applies, and I think it always will.  Of all the things I've rambled on about on this site, this one is for keeps because I haven't got back down yet and don't really know when I'll get back to 'basecamp' - all that was possible before I started smoking in the first place.
 
Hang tough Roses, I'm pulling for you.

Todash, 
Thanks for the bump.  Your post puts it all into perspective.   I have climbed back up on the horse, reset my quit meter to June 2 for the slip and am moving onward and forward with my quit.  I want to get back to where I was health wise as soon as possible.   Thank you for your caring support.
