Gave it a shot. Lasted a while. Stayed optimistic. Saved a little cash along the way. Got rid of that pesky coughing fit in the shower (ok, that never really happened, but I needed to make it sound more dramatic).

I caved.


Funny thing though... everyone is now breathing a collective sigh of relief. WTF? (They want me to die???). Even my doctor said it was probably better that I resumed my smoking, rather than attempt to quit again right away (due to stuff).

So, yeah, I feel guilty and junk. Sorta sad too. But at the same time, it is much like being re-united with a good friend. At first, a little awkward, then, after some getting used to, falling right back into that same old routine. Ya know?

I @#$% hate smoking!

Gerk, don't be so hard on yourself. It's hard to quit smoking - it's a horrible addiction and sometimes it takes several tries before you actually kick the habit. If I remember correctly, didn't you try going cold turkey? If so, the next time, do the gum, lozenge, or patch route or get your doctor to give you a prescription and get yourself a support system, someone you can call when you feel the urge to smoke.
you went a lot longer then I could have Gerk.For that I commend you.Shit I wouldent have even tried to stop in the first place.


Find the way that is going to fit you.Drinkers do the whole one day at a time.If that's to hard do an hour or a minute at a time.Soon you'll find that minute turned into a day .




OH and clean your ashtray.That's a major fire hazard. grin

His health insurance will pay for Viagra but not medications for quitting smoking since it falls under the same rules as contraception for women. (just kidding)

Gerky - keep trying and pace yourself. Your body didn't adapt to smoking overnight so view this as step towards getting your body off the addiction. Don't give up even if you gave in.
