Well the good news is if you have relatives reaching these ages, you are
probably from good strong peasant stock. Despite what damage you may have
done, given the evidence, your chances of growing down into a tiny little old
person are pretty good. Don't give up giving up, but my one grandfather puffed
his way to 96, and he ate a stick of butter a day. Sadly, I'm not related to
him. The thing to remember about cigarettes is, as much as you may have come
to hate them, they hate you even more.
I know what you mean about Home Depot. Whenever I go there, I feel like
Pac-Man after eating a power button, with all these ghostly orange figures
disappearing around corners. I hope you have a couple years left on your
driver's license.

The smoking for me was a relaxation thing. I was never more relaxed
than when I had a glass of wine and some smokes. I find myself getting very
agitated at times. I have to stay away from certain places that I know will
really set me off...like the grocery store between 5-7 PM and Home Depot
anytime. Someone's gonna get hurt!

As a former smoker myself (who has the tendency to fall off the wagon
when blasted, sigh) I always found the after dinner smoke the most
painful, but the boozing smoke the easiest to give into (see earlier
parenthetical). So I say this may be a case wherein if you're going
to drink, give the willpower over to a trustworthy friend.
Also, I definitely do want to smoke less when I've been working out
regularly (I think this means I agree with Ellen, but I'll say it
anyway). So getting out for a daily walk/jog/pogo will help.
Good luck!
