I apologised to my wife for being grumpy and she laughed and said its ok. She really appreciates all the changes I am trying to make.
Later on, my cat brought a huge rat into the house. I flipped out. I then apologised to my cat...she was not as forgiving as my wife.

Better grumpy for a while than ending up in the cancer ward!

I went to the dentist today and he told me that my teeth have been badly damaged by smoking. I will need some serious and expensive dental work.
That's a bit depressing but at least I've plucked up the courage to go to the dentist now and do my best to sort it out.
And I've completely stopped smoking for nearly nine weeks now.

Ha! I went to the dentist again today too. still dealing with consequences of smoking and other addictions. Using ecig, nicotine gum, had half a cig earlier in the week. Just need to let go. But it is HARD! i stopped alcohol, weed, speed, crack, smack, uppers, downers and all-arounders, but the nicotine...
anyways, i went to a nicotine cessation clinic and put a plan in place - so i'm asking for help. i realize that doing stuff on my own is just way more difficult (if not impossible). needs the action now. simply being aware of the consequences is not enough to stop me.
this writing about it has helped. thanks for the opportunity folks - i didn't even know this thread existed till now!
good luck to everyone else on this mission. i'm not quitting on giving up yet

Welcome to the thread smartypants.
After I quit drinking and smoking and I finally went to the dentist for the first time in years, I had quite a bit they had to do. It was depressing and expensive. And when I first went in I was embarrassed to even let them look at my teeth with all the tar built up on them from smoking.
One of the nice things is that now I don't have to worry about that. I go in for my regular cleanings every six months and they're a breeze. It may also help that I always brush my teeth before bed instead of passing out drunk some nights.
