[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 146801, member: 1721"] I am using a nicotine patch. I have one on, today. And you are right ~ we DID have dinner with friends who smoke and I knew it was coming AND I SMOKED CIGARETTES THAT DAY AND YESTERDAY, TOO. Ewwhh.... They certainly were tasty. :) One of us posted something to the effect that she had quit over the course of a year. That idea was very helpful to me. Thank you! Even if I slipped up and smoked this time, maybe next time I will get through it without feeling like I am missing out on something by not smoking. And whichever of us it was who asked whether smoking has always been a social occasion thing for me was right ~ I started in college, like so many of us do. So maybe, even though I am 56, smoking makes me feel more grown up? Three months is the longest I have ever stopped smoking (unless I was pregnant or nursing). So I am actually doing well with it ~ now that I know I put that patch back on, that is! Close call. It is wonderful to have this thread. Thank you so much, Sharon. :) And there is a little lesson in my failure for all of us, I think. It's taken us a very long time to develop our comfort mechanisms. Even if we slip time and again, we needn't change our long term intentions to make positive change in our lives. Looks like I am back on the wagon. Wishing everyone well. We can do this.
