I just want to add here, that I should probably post a thread about my history of smoking addiction, but I can't face it right now. I'm age 57, and started smoking at age 22 with my first job of teaching.....much about that in between, but just let me say, I've been such an addict that in trying to quit, I would wear a patch for a day, then rip it off in the evening and smoke my brains out! Sad, I know!
So, there is nothing one can say here about this habit that would shock me! Not only have I been addicted to the nicotine, but also to the physical ACT of smoking!
I come home to my empty house, and I honestly thought I would NEVER find the resolve to do this! And, yes, I'm still struggling, but each day is a landmark and a victory!
