Condolences again to you and also to Orvill. He will need all the support you can give him in the coming weeks, even though he probably won't ask for it. Stay close to him Jimmy.

Agree - great post JB! It always boils down to choices we make in life and it's no different with smoking. That is after all how we learn and mature as we age though. Making choices then dealing with the consequences of those choices. No different with this smoking thing. That's why I think all of us here deserve a pat on the back for learning that for what ever reason or reasons, we are better off quit than to continue on as smokers. Good for us because we are making the right choice!

I applaud anyone who is doing all they can to stop feeding their smoking addiction. Whether it be their first attempt or not. We can not just walk away and not try because it may not last forever and we could relapse even years later. People make choices every day. Why people can still go back to smoking even after years quit is because they are still addicts as we all are. This can happen to any one of us but, it will only happen based on the choices we make going forward. I would venture to say, there is no one who has relapsed after a long period of time quit who would not say they are happy about relapsing. Sometimes the lessons we learn about this addiction are hard lessons and sometimes, those hard lessons are the best lessons because we never forget them.

The old board just looked a little more "dated". I know that doesn't help much but think of 1950's furniture vs what you have in your house today.The functionality was also different in many respects but nothing earth shattering.

That's it. Focus on the good things that are happening because you don't smoke any more - not the difficulties that only come around occasionally. Those will soon disappear and the benefits will multiply.
