Thanks Inperfectly. Prior to quitting smoking way back, what few attempts I'd made prior to my final success lasted less than a month because my addiction to cigarettes was so powerful I'd remain an emotional basket-case throughout 'recovery'. When finally I did quit permanently I was a basket-case for no less than a year - that's what kind of hold nicotine had over me. After a year, I too began to feel incredible and accomplished.

I would say this. Substitute '33 days' to '33 years' in your imagination and look back with fondness at what a struggle it seems waaay back then. In the greater picture of things time does fly and struggles become victories!

Well done and smell the roses - everyday!
