(I’m still a royal pain in the arse)
RHIP-Royalty Has It’s Privileges!
My wife quit cold turkey the day she found out she was pregnant. The day I quit I was feeding my daughter(she was a few months old). I took one look at her and then at the smoke rising from the ashtray and decided that she needed the clean air more than I needed to smoke. She just turned 25.
Best of luck with the book(we all know you’ll do Bruce proud) and giving up the smokes!

My wife once told me I created an art form out of quitting. I can’t count the number of stops and restarts. What helped me was to start thinking of myself as a non-smoker. Finally did it about twenty years ago. The wine has tasted a whole lot better.

Good for you Jeff!! It’s been 7 years for me (2 packs of straight Camels a day.)I still have frequent visits with Jack Daniels but what the heck. Take care and BTW I stumbled onto the story about the wine tasting trip you took with Graham Nash… I am a huge fan of his and of all the permutations of CSNY, for supposedly so cranky you have some wonderful friends Take care sir!!

I’m gonna see if Amazon has pre-orders for this book today! I recommend that previous version to everyone I know. A great resource, and a good reason why my photos in the database at work took a quantum leap in quality. I could adjust every single one of thousands when I get back from a trip!

Jeff,

Eighteen and a half years later, I not only know the day, but the time that I gave ‘em up. It was the toughest thing I’ve ever done. Good for you!

You’ll be happy to note that I’ve not smoked since Jan 8th, 2007. I’ve also been to the doc (full checkup before the Antarctic trip in Feb) and with the addition of some blood pressure meds, I’m now the color of healthy…so far, my disposition hasn’t change (I’m still a royal pain in the arse)
