Hey all! Well I've been smoking for 14 yrs and quit smoking 3/11/2008! I hate smoking! It sucks! It was/is harder to put down than drugs! How crazy is that? And the tobacco companies are allowed to be in business! Ugg! Don't even get me going on that one! Like why don't they just put a plastic bag around our head~cuz that's all that their doing anyways! LOL I hate smoking so much. It is so strong! I can't believe the pyscological side of this addiction! It's mind boggling. I use to be an IV meth user and that was sooo much easier than this! I am glad you are here! I am glad to be here! I sure hope there will come a day when it doesn't cross my mind and I am fully recovered from this crap! Thanks!!
