1 in 3 would quit smoking to save their pets.
It affects your 4 cats too, Mark.

I have seen many try, many die, and some who made it. I wish you the best, Mark!

I still fight the urges Mark, but if I can forget 'em long enough I can make it through the night. It's come to the point where it's just a psychological addiction that I'm dealing with and not the nasty physical addiction.

It's a two pronged thing with smoking. But you'll feel better for it. Good luck Mark, I wish you well.

Keep trying Mark, although it might be easier if you quit the booze first, before trying to quit the nicotine?

take it from a quitter. If you don't stop at the stores where you bought the cigarettes its unlikely you'll buy them at those stores. Also find a hobby or something to occupy your time where you used to smoke. remember idle hands are something something.

I have both my dad and maternal grandfather to look at with this. my dad quit drinking and never looked back 12 stepped it for a while then like me got tired of hearing all the whining. he still hasn't been able to quit smoking even after a quintuple bypass sugery. blames his diet for the clogged arteries and the silent heart attack he apparently had had while drinking and smoking.

My grandfather quit smoking on his 65th birthday, 50 years after he had started. he never could give up his blackberry brandy. He lived to 84. His death was complicated by bad emphasema, liver cirrhosis, and poosr kidney function that developed from years of drinking and smoking...

I hope you find a way to make this permanent Mark. for your health and your wellbeing.

Cigarettes and booze are often a package deal...when having one of them automatically leads to the other...You have to stop the one that breaks you before it takes you.

PROUD TO BE TFFE!

I thank each and every one of you for your words of kindness, understanding, and inspiration.

I will not lie to you and say I have done it yet....I got 6 more packs left in the carton, and I have no doubt I will smoke each and every one of them.

But at least my mind is coming to grips with reality. This crap is killing me. One toke at a time.

And costing me more than I would like to admit...lesse....5 packs a week, 52 weeks a year, at $7.99 a pack currently....

That's 260 packs of butts at $7.99.....which is...now this can't be right.

$2,077.40 a year for freaking cigs??????

OK....I am not willing to even think about knocking off the whiskey road, but whilst I am at it, let's tally that one up too.

A 1.7 liter bottle of Canadian Mist runs about $18.00...gets me through a good weekend.....
OK...52 bottles a year...$18.00....OMG.

That's another $936.00.

So, my vices are costing me $3,013.40 a year.....

And that's not the real cost, I know.

With your help, I will boot the cigs one day soon.
I really DO want to.
