Too many of them say it's one of the few pleasures they have left so who am I to deny them that?<br /><br />I've never smoked yet both my sons do and I HATE it. I NEVER want to watch someone I love die in that way again. But Nick it is your choice and to quote another tired old phrase you could be hit by a bus tomorrow.<br /><br />Do what you really have/want to. You've got my support either way.nursemyrahttp://nursemyra.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23179512.post-84305235626532777422010-10-18T22:34:31.918+01:002010-10-18T22:34:31.918+01:00Anonymous:I can relate to everything you say about...<b>Anonymous:</b>I can relate to everything you say about giving up.

I was s...I know exactly what you are going through. I was smoking fulltime for 2 years - like 2 packs of Dunhill red daily. I began and ended each day with cigs. Then one day in April 09, after smoking up about 60 cigs the day before, I told myself enough is enough, no more. It was the best decision of my life but also the most difficult. In many ways it was a sacrifice because I enjoyed smoking. I had crazy bouts of nicotine craving after that. Sometimes I couldnt think straight for the life of me and sometimes I just spaced out, thinking about nothing all. Attention span was zero. Always moody and disturbed. Gradually with real hard work, the cravings went away. Going back to exercising helped to make a huge difference. Now I can say that I am good. Every now and then, when I am out and someone is blowing smoke at my direction, I am reminded of the comfort it had once offered me. Tempting. I think a hungry vampire must feel the same way about human blood. But I wouldnt go back to that again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
