for me, skipping the automatic ones was the hardest... the first one of the day, getting in the car, after meals, on the phone, having a beer, after that it was much easier

good luck

To: Marie; All

It’s good to know that I’m not the only person who’s gone through the ‘crazies’ with this.

I’m going to go see a shrink to get some anti-depressants to help me through the next few months.

I’m having spinal surgery in January and if I smoke, the surgery is off. That’s what’s helping me hold it together right now.

If I’m still an anxiety-ridden, depressed nut-bar after the operation, I’ll try the gum or the patch rather than go back to smoking.

I promised myself that I’d quit for the next 20 years. After that, I can smoke all I want. (It won’t make a difference at that point.) I think it’s easier to say, ‘not now’ than it is for me to say, ‘never’. Right now ‘never’ means that I’ll never be happy or feel normal again.
