29 Nov
Never give up. Never surrender.
I relapsed and started smoking again. 
But I’ve set a new quit date and feel really good about it. I’m more focussed and determined to quit.
I’ve looked at where I went wrong. And I’m confident I can come up with a better plan this time.
I must admit, Become An Ex has helped me re-tune. It’s a very informative site, in that it is honest and very much in tune with what it’s like to quit an addiction.
They understand and enforce that it’s a very difficult process (unlike other groups that tell you, “all you need to do is never take another puff).”
I’ve set my new quit date as December 13th. I thought, “what greater gift to give myself on my 55th birthday than the gift of a better life?”
That’s it. Just a little update on the smoking gun.
That’s a beautiful way of looking at it. :greenthumb:
November 29th, 2006 at 5:31 pmI have to give props to Become An Ex. They have some television commercials that are much more than, “Don’t smoke, fool.”
I’m bettin’ that they got the attention of many smokers who had been wanting to quit but were put off by assertions that the way to quit was to just quit.
Become An Ex seems to understand the addiction and how hard it is to overcome it.

November 30th, 2006 at 11:09 pmYou should find something to do instead. I’ve heard thats helpful.
December 18th, 2006 at 4:37 pmIt’s fine to smoke, just don’t do it a lot.
The same rule applies to every drug, illegal or not.
