Thanks all for the warm welcome.
As far as not feeling any better, that was just a joke lol.
I had stopped in my early 20s for about five years. Just didn't feel like smoking. Opened a new pack, lit one up, took a couple drags, put it out, and asked a buddy of he wanted the pack. He asked if I was going to quit. I said I don't know, just don't feel like smoking. Didn't smoke again for five years.
One of the problems was people smoking around me didn't bother me at all.
I was working second shift for the summer and started going out after work with a few people. All smokers of course. Even the female "friend" that was with me smoked.
I started off with let me have a drag to let me have one. She looked at me and said "but you don't smoke", told her to hush and let me have one.
Was all down hill from there. Got right back into the habit till a few months ago. I always said I would stop smoking again when I felt the time was right. Not an excuse but I have an extremely stressful life. I had stopped every other bad habit except the smoking. I don't think I was 100% ready to stop now. It was more of a financial thing. I was smoking 2+ packs a day and would some times smoke 3+.
I have always had issues sleeping and it's been extremely bad. Like not sleeping for three days straight. I fall asleep for ten minutes and wake up. Then can't sleep again. If I take something to make me sleep I end up sleep walking. So when I would be up all night I would smoke more than during the day.
But I'm working on that and it's slowly getting a little better.
Sorry about the long reply. I some times ramble a little to much ha-ha.
Again that's for the welcome!!
