Oh, I know the feeling. My 3 guys would not let me smoke in the house the last few years I smoked and I respected that.....because it kept the house cleaner too. I laugh now but I would get out of bed and go down to the basement and smoke practically before I opened my eyes. And, would have 3 or 4 before I left for work...coffee & cigs, that was my breakfast. Thank God I got smart. I won't lie tho', when I get a whiff, it still smells good, stupid as that sounds, but never good enough to start again. Why make someone richer who's killing me??? Last night I was almost singing I Feel Skinny (to the tune of I feel pretty) and while I'm far from skinny, I had on a new pair of black jeans in a size smaller and felt like a million bucks!!! Small steps definitely do work!!!
