Thank you Mark56 it is tough but I am at T - 5 days and counting down now. Hopefully 8 days till I'm buzzing all the time. I also have decided to stop smoking during all of this. smoked my last one about 8 hours ago. Like I told my wife I have been able to kick some really bad habits when I was much younger but these darn cigarettes have always been one thing that is very hard for my to stop. When I was in my early 20's I kicked drinking,some heavy drug's but have not been able to get away from cigarettes but I am determined this time. I look at it like this I have worked so hard to get to where I am right now and If I can make this up hill battle with the back problems & that green eyed monster (my name for all the pain) then smoking might as well go to. Wife tried to tell me I should also give up my Diet Pepsi and I looked at her and said "What you talking about Willis" that's like me not having my coffee in the morning those 2 are not hurting me as bad as my smoking. Me no coffee in the morning = ..............About 10 green eyed monsters
