Awesome brain! I am more of a linear thinker/doer. Have decided that once I get down to 4% I can jump and amazingly enough, 8% feels like plenty today. I know it's all a mind game but my rules are playable so far. Not to mention my wife did the stopsmokingnow class 2 yrs. ago and the taper w/patches was 2 months (along with lotsa self-talk and accounting so I can live with this one. This time next year we'll all be marathoners right?
