I've been smoking on and off since I was 20. I know, I started when I was old enough to know better. I've quit for more than a year at a time, and even when I smoked in the past it was maybe at most 5-10 cigarettes a day, often at work when I danced.
I started smoking again last November after my ex told me his crack whore alcoholic girlfriend was knocked up and it quickly ballooned into a full-on pack a day habit.
I haven't had a cigarette in over a week, and it helps that I'm no longer dating a smoker, since the last guy I dated more recently smoked.
I wanted to ask if any of you have tried this and if you've had long-term success with it. Also, what's triggered you to light up again after you may have stopped for anything from a few days to a few years?
I've been cutting down on my drinking lately anyway, but am making more of an effort now since it's a lot easier to want to smoke after having a few drinks. I also miss the ritual aspect of it. Last night I was out at dinner with a friend who smokes, and the meal and her company were so great, it totally would have been a perfect time for a cigarette after the dinner. But I held off.
Cross your fingers and hope it sticks...
