1 year and 10 months of being a non-smoker. Then a work conference in Bris-Vegas. Too cocky, I thought I could play up with smoking and come home without any repurcussions. But what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas. What followed was 4 weeks of smoking 20 a day and feeling every bit as addicted as I was 2 years ago. The hiding around corners, being ashamed of stinking like an ashtray around my wife and kids, being a slave to addiction.
Well, here I am on day 3 of re-quitting. I think I have nipped it in the bud just in time. Not having any major problems in giving up, probably because I know how to do it and what to expect.
But I have played with fire and got burned.
