While I am at work and busy I can gon5-6 hours with none but then I have about 3 back to back.
Smoke right when I wake up and right before bed, wake up in the middle night.
It has begun to take over my life and the amount of money I spend a week is just insane on something that will end up killing me young.
I started at 14 (not really just the high school thing to do) stopped started again at 22 and it's been about 8 years now solid.
I know I have to, I want to some just have to do it.

Great decision. I am one of the biggest anti-smokers. So senseless to kill yourself slowly. But, I get the addiction. Just some information for you. My sister-in-law is having surgery today to remove a huge cancerous mass in her colon. She just turned 50. She's a recovering alcoholic and and addict. She smokes over 2 packs a day (Marlboro reds no less) and drinks a 12 pack of Coke. Even if they catch her cancer early which they said they did, she probably will never quit and be dead in 5 years because colon cancer also runs in her family.
I truly wish you luck and hope you quit. Another life may not be lost to cancer that is totally preventable.
