That's some good terrible advice. I agree the smoking is part of who and what I've become and it's really difficult to be someone else, which is what quitting smoking boils down to.

I really like nicotine and don't mind the vape as a substitute but I've cut down to going some days without a cig, and sometimes reaching for one when my brain starts going loopy and I need to recalibrate. It's an addiction but it also serves a purpose. An effective drug.

I plan to stick around but can't see having time to be here daily, grinding away. Won't even attempt it. But I'll always be around, watching.
