3rd time lucky

I have tried to quit a few times before but have always managed to get back on the fags - you tell yourself that just one won't matter but it does - it's the slippery slope back to 20 a day. I did read somewhere that it can take up to 5-6 tries to quit completely. I'm certainly feeling more positive this time around. Don't give up on giving up everyone - see you on the other (smoke free) side :)
