Shannon - life will always throw you excuses to have a cigarette. Only problem is that the cigarette doesn't take the stress away. The only stress it does relieve is the stress of not having a cigarette. Don't make excuses. Realize that smoking is a stress you don't need. You only think you need it. I smoked a packet a day for 26 years. I quit on new years day - now 168 days smoke free. I started off with champix and reading a book - Alan Cars Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Excellent book that will truly help you to stop. come on Shannon. Be strong. Read hints and tips on this site. They help too. Come on Shannon!
