Sandy-Combs Hi Sandy, You can read my post on Sept quit dates. I screwed up yesterday and I'm down but not out. A couple weeks ago I quit for a solid week and it wasn't so hard. But I was around my family and they're big time anti smoke people due to my parents both dying from cancer at 70. If they ever saw me with a cigarette they snatch it right out of my hands. Here, back in New Orleans I don't have anyone around to stop me. I got down yesterday and was obsessing about smoking instead of obsessing about quitting. When a friend came over to invite me to the coffee shop i went with her not for her company but because i knew she had smokes and i could bum one off her without having to buy a whole pack. I did just that but when i got home it was pretty much a lost battle and i went out and bought a pack. well to make a long story short I smoked all day yesterday and last night. Today I am not going to smoke anymore. I'm going to look up pictures of diseased lungs on the internet and make one my home page.
