Would like your thoughts on this subject -
When is one an 'Ex-Smoker'?
Is 1 day since your last cig long enough? 1 week? 1 month? Is it a whole year?
When is the danger of relapse over?
Or, as I believe, is it never over?
Which brings up the second item -
If the danger from relapse is never over, does that make one really a 'Recovering Smoker'?
Much like a former problem drinker is a 'Recovering Alcoholic'?
Both are addictions.
Abet, not equal addictions, but addictions none the less.
Can a former addiction ever be considered to be of no future risk?
In which case, the vigilance of recovery can not falter....
