JIM IN CINCY: Hey -- blame me if you want to -- your accomplishments to date are extroadinary. Stress is a killer on keeping "quit-related" goals (I changed jobs in the middle of quitting smoking a few years back... wow... that made things harder). Sorry to hear about your marriage, that is heart-breaking and I will keep you in my prayers. Also sorry to hear your progress has slowed -- but delighted to hear about your turning 50 -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY -- turning 50 sure beats living 50 years then not turning 50.... (...besides... I turned 40 last month, and you're making me feel younger.... )
