Ok, how about this for monumental crass stupidity (I haven't mentioned this in previous posts as I've just been too darned ashamed to admit to it, but I'm facing up to it now):
Have you ever been diagnosed as being a Type 2 diabetic and advised to stop smoking IMMEDIATELY because of how it affects your blood sugar levels and done so. (Hooray!)
But then three months later thought "I can handle this, I'm not addicted any more, just one now and again, doesn't apply to me anyway, I'm ok now, it will help with my current stress" and had "just one" before being back up to a pack a day in no time for a further 2 YEARS?!?! (Oh, and LIED to your doctor and health care staff at the regular 6 month checkups during that period? )
I have. I'm an addict.
