and aye- since i have a drinking problem & i chain smoke when i drink, i guess i'll have to go without booze for a while (at least limit myself to less than 4 beers a night)
i had one (split into two halves) cigarette yesterday, im ok with that, hell i may allow myself up to 3 a day for the first week - still feeling this out :)
i really appreciate your support and your fun nerdy icon :D
Maybe you should get rid of the cigarettes you still have? I threw out most of a pack when I quit on New Year's Eve, I don't think I could have abstained if there were cigarettes in the house.
thanks for the support :) i think i'll allow myself like 2 - 3 a day for the first week, otherwise im afraid i will actually kill my roommate (fucking rant rant grr) but even if i throw out mine, the boyfriend leaves his packs all over the casa as well, so id still have access :( this would be easier in new mex, where everything is far away- hell i can see the corner store from here & though expensive, they sell smokes till 11pm.... id rather smoke a few than break down & go buy a $5 pack. not sure yet, still feeling it all out :) thank you again & big hugs!
When I quit last summer, I was very gradual about it, and I stayed quit for a good two months. Then when I started smoking again, I was smoking *way, way* less, which made it much easier to quit this time (which certainly feels permanent). So yes, if gradual is best for you now, then by all means do it! :)

I find it hard to not smoke when I am drinking and it all goes out the window. *sigh*
