Hey Ron!! could not go on my holidays without seeing how you were doing- and I am relieved to see you are so far winning the battle- and it is a battle Ron, you are not whiney at all-you showed great strength and tenacity in the face of temptation and you overcame, and you can do it again, I know it....every day that passes you gain in strength, really you do, this was just a bump in the road-stay strong Ron xx

RonR,
 
Glad to hear that you are reminding yourself of all of the reasons that you want to remain quit. I am sure your kids and your health are some of the top reasons. You know we're always here for you, stay strong

whew. 
Have to say I was a little worried when you did not post yesterday.
 
Great to see you have gotten even stronger and ready to take on this addiction. It's insidious.  Mental and physical and to the core. You CAN DO IT!!!  
You have done it before and you can do it again!!!!!!
 
Kelly is 100% correct... you are normal. Always come here for help and to stay centered.
 
Keep up the good work.

Thanks All!!

This is such a tough addiction. Rationally I can tell myself that after 30 days I'm not fighting nicotine withdrawal. I realize it's just the addict looking to engage in the behavior of smoking.
But damn it has its hooks in me.
 
Just taking one moment at a time and continually reminding myself of my reasons for quitting.
 
Thanks so much for continuing to stand with me..I feel like such a whinny baby
