Jennifer55 Thank you Jennifer! It sounds like you've been through a lot...I have been the number one winner for putting off smoking for this reason or that. The truth is that I can't continue to rationalize or make excuses anymore. My life depends on it! I'm here for you as well! Let me know how you are doing. Are you going cold turkey or using NRT or meds? I'm using the lozenges to take the edge off. Keep in touch and remember that WE CAN DO IT!! My best to you! Polly
