8. Appreciate it. It was really hard the first year. Since then, not too bad.

There are some days that are much tougher and I have come really close to breaking my streak. Prolonged stress and anxiety attacks, happily much less frequent, can make the urge to smoke again almost unbearable. During those times I have to avoid smokers and can't even watch it on TV or in movies. Thankfully, episodes like that are rare and don't usually last long.

I appreciate your kind words. I am trying to focus on more positive persons and remarks, even if they disagree with my positions, and there are many of those types on this board who can make disagreement enjoyable and educational.

back atcha!
