Hi Guys n Gals,

Glad to be here.I had my last ciggy on 30/01/08 at 07:40 AM in the morning.

I normally smoke only 2 or 3 a day.First ciggy will be at 07:30 in the morning before going to toilet.That is the f*****g problem for me.Can't get free motion without one.and then at 02:30 pm and 04:00 PM.That's it.

Struggling but decided to give up this time.Other than that no problem at all.Yeah getting angry very soon on my wife and kids since I stopped smoking.Trying to control that as well.I love my kids a lot and they are the reason for me to stop smoking.My elder kid is 5 yr old and I managed till today to hide the fact that his dad smokes.I want to be a good example to him.so since 2002 I smoked only when I can hide from him.My wife knows that I smoke but she is the reason for me to start again when I stopped couple of times in the past.Some or othe fight with her will make me feel frustrated and start again.So even this time also I feel the same that she will some day fight with me, could be my fault or hers but result is me start to smoke again.Once, the reason was boredom for me.My wife and kid went back to their hometown for 6 months when my second baby was due and I was all alone which made me start smoking again and continued till 3 days back.My wife knows the fact but my kid still feels that I don't smoke.

Since I smoke very few,I care a damn for budget or my health but I want to set a good example to my kids.

Sorry for boring you all with the stuff but thought of sharing the facts.I never told anyone that I stopped smoking or started smoking now or in the past.

A feeling of Loss is common too, maybe you could pick up something else instead? Puzzles, drawing, writing, painting, gym, running, walking, or knitting? :D

An old friend is gone but never forgotten, even a very toxic friend!!

We all move on and life will be better and brighter with time x x
