This is not going to be strictly a 12 step based blog on addiction, but occasionally we have to tell it like it is. If I ever knew anything in 41 years on this planet it is that I am powerless over nicotine. If I'm not smoking, I'm thinking about smoking. Cigarettes are on my weekly budget, and I'm always monitoring the supply and deciding how long they will last before I need to buy some more. When I leave to go anywhere I make sure I have enough cigs to last till I get home. I'm probably leaving something out, but I'm sure you get the idea....I'm hooked.
I'm also powerless over what it has done to my budget. I sometimes think of a bill or something else that I could buy if I wasn't wasting money on cigarettes. Summary....I'm powerless.

As with any addiction be it with cigarettes or something else you are powerless. The object is to find something else to occupy your mind and when you choose to quit you have to be honest with yourself every step of the way. I did quit for a couple of months. It was not by choice but in leiu of support since Randy was quitting. I wasn't set to quit and I don't know if I ever will so will see sometime in the future if I ever do.
I can always count on you for a thoughtful comment...in case I forget to ask you in person, was it real hard for Randy to quit? Did he use any specific technique? I know there are some people who can just lay them down where it takes others a lot more help.
