Thank you for the insightful and profound post Mr. Q!
 
As you said, the key is in recognizing the illusion for what it is and accepting the truth about smoking. Although this may be the hardest part, it is also what finally leads to victory.
 
Keep up the great work!

Well said Mr. Q.  I hate the flu like I hate smoking.  Very good analogy.  Hope you are well and you were not drawing a parallel to your current health.  by the way, why don't you have a quit meter going?  A stealth quitter needs to have celebrations too!!
 
Thanks for all of your wonderful advise you give.
