I haven't read much so forgive me if it's already been said...

99% of smoking addiction is not the actual nicotine, it's psychological. That's the toughest part of all. Battling your own brain.

Alan Carr wrote a book that a lot of people have found helpful. I think it's just called "Quitting smoking ". I was in the middle of reading it, when one morning I picked up a cigarette and said yuck. Never craved one and never missed them. Really weird in my opinion. Then, 4 years later, I was at my mother's house and subconsciously picked up a smoke. 5 years later....

Hang in there hon.

"Quitting smoking" How original.

Oh boy.
I'm in the waiting room
I'm nervous.
I really wanted to smoke on the way here.

KiKi, make NO excuses. You are doing very good!

And you have already won today in my book. To say you wanted to smoke before you went, but you didn't... That's amazing

I used to smoke before every appointment. My smoking got worse when I was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension... kind of stupid now that I think about it considering it affects your lungs... DUH! I was a stupid kid back then only 22. I still remember the day that they told me I had 6 months to live and the first thing that I did was sit in my car, have a panic attack, and smoke a cigarette how dumb!

Your post gave me hypertension.

The lady man handled them too but the machine did the squishing and picture taking.

Is that anything like Weebles Wabble but they don't fall down?

Your post gave me hypertension.

Look up idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension... It's not hypertension as in high blood pressure. It's a whole different issue

Well, our roads are long and straight mostly very rural. But yeah, we slow down as evening comes on. You don't have to, but there are deer and sometimes elk, so...

I slow for tractors on the road.
