Oh boy...that is negative thinking that will get you in trouble!!!! Believe me when I tell you that!! BEEN THERE IVE BEEN THERE.. I agree that there are other things going on in your life that you believe smoking will make better!! IT WONT! Those things will still be there PLUS you will have the smoking issue to contend with too... Deal with nagging things..One at a time..you'll feel better. but smoking solves nothing...nothing.

Hi Phil - thanks for being honest. I know a couple ex-smokers where I live that have both been quit for a couple years and go through some real rough periods with craves still. I think it is helpful for me to know that it may happen down the road so one isn't so taken back if it does. Jacqui - If it any consolation I too seem to go in some sort of cycle where things are great and then a few days will be very difficult and then so on and so on the cycle repeats. I don't have a magic answer yet but I think our numbers are getting up there and time will help us level out soon. Hang in there.
