I stopped in the morning to pick up a pack on the way to work. The discussions always surfaced about quitting, tried the patch - but with high BP - too much rise in pressure with the patch. Anyhow this time, the wife scerams at me "I KNEW YOU COULDN'T QUIT". So I got back in the car and drove away - dropped the kids off at school, wife caught the bus, and I went to work.

That was 8 years ago.

As tensions were high in the house that night, I went fishing down to the creek to calm down, relax and ..... think. Casting and thinking about smoking, the effects on - not me - but my family, and wanting to make sure I was there for my kids down the road.

I haven't smoked since, and don't regret it.

However, as people note, your nose will become higly sensitive to all odors, and your taste buds will be like they've been grit blasted clean and given new life.

So - how you doing ?
