I know what you mean. I was on two cigs a day for a couple of years. I had cut down. That made me feel a little better, or so I rationalized. But as long as the smoking goes on, it's hell. One puff is too many. The friends I've met on this site have helped me see that I can't be free until I'm actually free from puffing anymore. I've had some success: a one week quit, then a relapse of one day; then a two week quit, then a relapse of two days; and now I'm a couple of days into a new quit, and I am much, much more aware of the devilish nature of just one puff. Thank God and my friends here who are helping me so much. Yes, we can do it together!
