Tammyzhere So sorry you had to reset your quit date...the most important thing is to figure out what went wrong and be prepared should it happen again. There are always going to be half cigarettes laying around...sometimes WHOLE ones. I remember one of my many failed quits when I was seriously throwing a tantrum. I stood in front of the refrigerator trying to think of yet another thing I could stuff my feelings into...I said out loud, "Oh PLEASE God, I cannot DO this." I slammed the refrigerator door and a full, unopened pack of cigarettes fell off the top of the fridge and into my waiting hands. I am sorry to say that I took that as a "sign." I cannot tell you how long I smoked again before another quit. That was my story, quit/fail, quit/fail, quit/fail...over and over and over again. This LAST time, and it IS the last time, I nearly died and I knew that this was the REAL sign. It has been almost 4 years after 47 years as a smoker who quit over and over again. I am so happy with this success...I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels and how much I would love YOU to feel it. Besides, I really enjoy your poetry!
XOXO,
Ellen
