Thank you for all your kind words and wishes. I got a lot of help from you last time around and I am hoping that you can do the same for me again. What started me back again: Honestly nothing more than one puff, just to see if I could and get away with it. I didn't. I got another life sentence. I suppose another reason is that I didn't avoid smoke. Having been one of the rejected for a long number of years I really couldn't bring myself to ban smokers from either my office or my home and would allow anybody do smoke around me. I did not become a holier-than-thou ex-smoker who was going to make everybody's life a misery. I was very tolerant, realising that the smokers were in fact addicts. Sin of all sins I even let one into my home and heart. Yes, a new relationship with a reasonably heavy smoker. Could you ask for worse. Summertime was OK as outside was still a possibility, but wintertime at below 20�C smoking outside well you can imagine - mistake mistake mistake - But I guess this is me looking out the window for someone to blame instead of looking in the mirror to see myself. Forgive the ramblings as it is still only day 2 Be in touch Deck [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/4/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 95 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $26 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

As you may have seen I signed back on today and will be setting my quit meter to 0 as soon as I can figure out how to do it. Last time around I was quitting after almost 35 years smoking 2 packs (read: up to four packs when things were really swinging)a day. I admit I am back to my two packs a day but maybe I'm hoping just a little bit that the 11 months I wasn't smoking would count for something. Anybody got any ideas on this. I've really been smoking full time since December. I know that there are a lot of you who have quit in the past and maybe have some advice to give. How can I set my quit meter to 0 again? I�m sure I'll be back over the next few hours - the anxious feeling is already invading and this is only day one. Love to you all Deck

Deck...Hi! So sorry to hear that you got back into smoking but I'm thrilled you're back here and ready to go at it again. You've been down this road before so you know you can do it...and now you also know how easy it is to turn back. Mind if I ask how you got back into it...what triggered your smoking again? Stress? The thinking of "just one"?...etc?. I think we could all learn from it. Your 11 months wasn't a waste for a lot of reasons...for one thing you're much wiser now. You'll be better prepared this time :) Welcome back.

Oh my gosh, Deck...WELCOME BACK!!!!!!! You know that you can do this, because you've been through much of it already. That's what the 11 months counts for -- experience, wisdom, humility and hopefully, renewed determination. My friend, take it one day at a time, and at first one minute at a time. Don't fool yourself again...and don't let the addiction fool you. You CAN'T have just one, but you CAN get through today. Stay close. Rusty :)
