My weekend wasn't particulary great. I had some minor health issues, acouple of episodes with annoying neighbors, and to top it off, my favorite college football team was clobbered 31-10. Still, none of it would have improved even a tiny bit by nicotine.
Day 1,153 nicotine-FREE

I'm enjoying day 1,155 of being FREE of nicotine's dominion. I've also saved over $4,000 on tobacco and all the nasty chemicals that come with it.
Nicotine doesn't make any circumstance better, it only feeds the shackles of our addiction. It doesn't relieve stress, it only relieves the demands of the nicotine slave master.

Good News! Good News!
A brand new month!
A time to start afresh!
A time to stay on track!
God is our Strength!
Keep our eyes on Him!
Remember Peter?
Things were going great when he was in the water because
his focus was on the Lord not his situation!

I just calculated that I've saved $4,413.50 on tobacco. But more importantly, I can drive to the restuarant after work to meet my wonderful wife, share a meal, take our time talking over an after-dinner coffee, drive home, and enjoy the evening without being nagged by the nicotine slave master to get a fix.
The freedom that I now enjoy didn't come easy but it was certainly worth fighting to gain. And no matter how difficult one of the early days was, I never woke up a single morning wishing that I had caved the day before.

I agree with Manda. You made a mistake but don't compound it by being stupid. I once quit for a full year and, in a moment of anger, caved. I was hooked for another 30 years before quitting again. 30 more years of slavery... Don't be stupid like me.
You cannot promise to quit last week and you cannot promise to quit next month or even tomorrow. All you have is today. Do it now!
This is a strong addiction and everyone who ever quit understands that. The only way you can be a failure is if you give up. That is the one characteristic disliked the most by fellow quitters. Not slipping up and trying again, but giving up to something you can beat - one crave, one hour, one day at a time.
Like Manda said, get back on that horse and ride your way toward freedom.

All you need is ONE successful attempt. You will NOT regret it looking back.

It's a Greek dish made with lamb mince (kind of like Greek shepherd's pie, only with aubergines): Moussaka

I love lamb, but that looks disgusting.
