Hello, Ronner and DJ.  I'm watching you two and willing you to dump this addiction NOW!
 
        You Ronner need all the self-esteem you can get to tide you over this attack from your ex-. Stopping the smoking and remaining tight with your online buddies will do that for you.( See how 'preachy' I can be without shame??LOL.)
 
  And DJ, look at those two little Fuzzies and ask yourself why you're fighting this addiction. Simple isn't it?

This is some of the best advice I ever received. I cannot add to it much but to say, Please, Please stay and work this out with us. I know you can do this, if not now then soon. If not we will be here waiting.
Wishing you all good things,

"I'm convinced that the single most important factor in my success is that I want it more than anything and I believe in myself. I will not--cannot--allow for a single slip You have to be mentally ready and committed, and then it isn't so bad.

You've had a lot of tough times lately; I have too. The details don't really matter, the point is smoking a cigarette is totally irrelevant to resolving your/my problems: It doesn't cure a damn thing--in fact for both you and me it makes our health conditions worse! You're not giving up a solution to your problems, you're removing one of the major causes!

Cigarettes are not the answer to reclaiming your life and your health: Stopping a destructive behavior and finding release from this horrible addiction is the only thing that will set you free.

Battling this demon will give you the confidence to fight all of the other challeges in your life--kick it's ass and then move on to the other ones with confidence.

STAND UP SMACK IT IN HEAD WITH A HAMMER AND CLAIM THE VICTORY!"

 I agree with everybody else, just have to think about how to cope with these things that we have always grabbed that white stick to do. I to let life make me do it a couple of weeks ago. But we just got to get our heads and heart in the right
place. That stick doesn't make things better or them go away. We have been brainwashed into believing it for so many years.
What you have to deal with is tough so hang in and I'll be back on the quit wagon soon. DJ

Hi RonR
 
I haven't posted to you much but have been following you when I can get here.  I think you also stated you were dealing with some serious medical issues a couple weeks ago.  I don't know what to add except to say my thoughts are with you and please regroup when you are ready.  Remember that smoking doesn't make you a bad human being, it just makes you a human who got caught in the trap, like all of us.  You will get out of the trap.    We will be here.
