Amandalouise.. I had a drop my head moment reading your reply. Heh. It was half me who did the last withdrawal/detox thing. I was the one who came off the klonopin. I have to laugh at myself... it was easier for me to go cold turkey off that stuff (which I should not have done, nor should anyone else for that matter) than it is for me to quit the smoking. I am an awful quitter, but I persist in being awful at quitting. One of these times it will stick.
Have to say it's cool though how you had system members step up and step in and help out like that. Way to look out and help out. Way cool. And congrats to you on your wins.

AlwaysChanging2.. Congrats to you as well. The more I hear about those vape pens, the more I think they might just be the way to go. I finally remembered to ask the SO guy about the one I thought he might have, turns out he did have one but it got broken and he threw it away since he didn't like it anyhow. I might just have to go do the plasma thing and buy one of those (I'm all po' and junk. lulz).

Anyway... still way under what I was but still smoking. I just can't seem to get myself under 6-8 a day. I'm kinda concerned that I'll just slowly work my way back up to where I was before. That's why the vape thing sounds so good... the pen controls the nicotine levels, not actual cigarettes... seems like a safer route to me... wouldn't matter if I did get occasionally nuts with the hand to mouth thing and I'd still be slowly working my way down. So yeah, still trying to move forward, still trying to not be annoyed with me for smoking, still calling it a win since I'm not smoking as much, still not quitting on quitting, still trying hard to remember this will help us... not there yet though. Eh.
