Bob, I wanted to give you some more encouragement about quitting smoking.... (Are you getting just sick of this????) Anyway, I tried to quit and failed over and over again for several years. Then one time, seemingly no different that any other time, I was successful. But every time I tried and failed I would kick myself around and tell myself what a miserable, sorry, person I was. Then I wouldn't try again for a long time because I was afraid of failing and having to face what a wretch I was. But now I realize that I wasn't a sorry wretch at all! I was a wonderful person who just kept on trying, and eventually persistance paid off. So don't be too hard on yourself. Be proud of your efforts, and not afraid to persist. You are already a terrific guy for just wanting to quit! I will keep you in my thoughts.
