I'm amazed that I could last this long.

5. Good for you, but do you want a real challenge?
Start smoking and do so for about a year, then try going back to being a non-smoker again.

8. On the other hand, my idiotic ex-husband
started smoking again after having quit for over 25 years. Then he had a stroke and quit again after an almost miraculous recovery. Then he started up again.

He really has absolutely no sense. He's been running short of cash and, rather than give up the smokes and eating out all the time, he skipped out on his lease and rented a room from an alcoholic friend of his. Oh yeah - did I mention that he's also an alcoholic?

9. Good for you - I've been a non-smoker for . . .
42 minutes and 11 seconds - I'm about to go have one now.

Gotta quit the durned things.
