[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 616080, member: 1514"] Good job! Quitting smoking is so hard. I stopped for 6 years -1990 thru 1996. For probably the first 3 years I couldnt even look at packs of cigarettes in stores without wanting to buy one. I never went out with friends who smoked or went into the breakroom at work. Then at about the 5 year mark I started thinking I had it down. I started to hang out in the breakroom where you could actually see the nicotine on the walls and ceilings. It smelled like 200 smokers smoked in there every day and thats probably how many did. I took to holding a cigarette for a friend while they ran for a drink. My office mate smoked. One day I took a puff off a cigarette I was holding and that was all it took. We were under a great deal of stress at work and after that first puff I thought, well I can smoke maybe 2 or 3 a day while at work. Within two weeks I was back to 2 packs a day. I have tried since then and have not been able to do it again. I might have quit smoking when I came home from having been in the coma because I never even craved one while I was in the hospital...heck I dont think I remembered I smoked! However when I came home no one had emptied the ashtrays, thrown away the carton of cigarettes I had in the house or anything else. I came home and remembered immediately and went out as soon as I could to buy a carton. I was so mad at my family for not cleaning the house up. [/QUOTE]
