That's the way it is/was for me too.
Rolling up butts in the end, until every last bit was gone.
I'm glad you didn't open the wine Red.
NOT ONE PUFF/DRINK.
That's how it's done.
And were doing it!
Back on track Klio. Walking the walk.

Yes! Thank you, Red and Steely. ❤️ So glad you didn't pick up that bottle, Red. 
I'm focusing all my energy on keeping distracted today and not buying another pack. It was very tempting to withdraw from the forum too and go down in flames of misery. But let's keep posting, it really helps.

New thread! New life, ya'll.
I don't know how many times I poured soapy water on a pack of smokes or cookies...exasperated at my inability to just leave them be.
I guess we are just made a little differently than those who can have a [insert item here] in the house and not eat/use/drink/smoke/snort it.
Onward Steely and Klio. It's worth the battle, truly.
Steely I have some acquaintances IRL who have children (well, adult "children") with schizophrenia and other severe mental or physical disabilities. I cannot possibly imagine how difficult it must be, but I see them struggling too. I don't even have kids! I was afraid!

What's really annoying to me - I used to be able to have a pack in a drawer for weeks and even months, and only smoke occasionally. I kept trying to go back to that model but it's not working anymore. Once the invisible line has been crossed there's just no going back.

I sense danger too, Red. But don't know the full story.
Maybe you're going to smash the bottle in ceremony somewhere?
Why do you have wine available Red? Just asking.
Thank you so much bimini. Schizophrenia is the most terrible illness. Heartbreak, fear, and anger always by my side. Always trying to let it go. It's hard.
But I'm not drinking, and I'm not smoking. I can see a bit of light of my own now. Maybe I'll find God, or something. The idea of God. My idea of God. 🌺
You post helped me a lot bimini. Thank you.
And no one get me wrong, I'm not talking religion, or god in the conventional sense. I'm talking serenity, peace, that sort of thing.
Smoking will only sully the idea, so I'm not doing it. Lol
