[QUOTE="keista, post: 447172, member: 11965"] I so hear you! I've been 'working' on quitting for two years now. I did, however, have an "experience" while on vacation that gave me hope that I CAN do it when I REALLY decide to (right now the economics is a STRONG motivator) Anyway. The kids and I had to walk 3 miles from the repair shop to a friend's house. It was hot and hard, and I FORGOT to grab my lighter. Oh well, I pushed on. When we stopped to eat, I tried to 'bum a light', but nobody in the area seemed to be smoking. At friend's house, I noticed she had a balcony and asked if I could go out there, and oh, yeah, did she have matches? NO. Next day we went down to the National Mall via Metro. Only after we got off the train and were walking around, did I find someone to 'bum a light' from. It had been 20 hours since my last one, and I truly felt more of an emotional need for one than a 'nic fit' need. So, I can go 'long term' without ill effects. I believe that the hike (with a 40 pound pack) had much to do with my decrease in 'need' The problem at home is that it's so HARD to have the self-discipline to just [B]not[/B] buy more, to [B]go[/B] and exercise, to do the things that SHOULD be done. Someday soon! [/QUOTE]
