Hey guys

Thanks for the warm welcome! Mostly just going through the motions I guess... thanks to everything I`ve read and listened to here.

My morning coughing fits have been getting better and better, I need my puffers a lot less, I`m sleeping better, not to mention coughing up a lot less phlegm. I feel more energetic, and even seem to be thinking a lot more clearly.

One time I was so desperate to quit I literally and tearfully begged god to take the urge to smoke from me. I don`t know why. Desperation I suppose. I`m not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, but something happened. The next day I didn`t feel any craving whatsoever. For the next week or so I didn`t even want a smoke. I don`t remember exactly how long I went (I think it was around 6 or 7 months) before I took a puff, but eventually I somehow got the idea that a puff or two wouldn`t hurt. Within a couple weeks I was smoking full tilt again. I felt pretty guilty about that one for a long time. Kind of like I asked for and received a gift from whatever divine being there is out there and then just threw it away on a whim.

Hope you`re having a great day!

Rob.
