I don't smoke and never have (think I've had 2 cigarettes in my whole life and maybe a cigar every 3 or 4 years). I can only imagine how tough it is for some of you guys who have been doing to for so long to quit. Game05, I would guess that in your situation, the fact that you are almost "ashamed" of your habit as you say and it is somewhat hampering you social life is extra motivation. I would think that extra push is a good thing because it's got to be really tough. Good luck with your journey, we're all pulling for you. You just need to battle it day in and day out until you don't realize you miss it anymore. Keep us posted.
