Thanks for the encouragement it is a hard battle I myself 35 years of smoking (MY GOD am I that old already)LOL

Everyone around me is very supportive as well. Unfortunately everyone else in the house smokes. They all smoke outside now. Hardest thing for me is socializing and now everyone goes outside to smoke and then sit out and socialize and me have to be anti social. No longer the social butterfly...that's ok I spend most of my time trying learn and organize. one of them is hell bent on quitting with me. He is supported by his work they are going to pay him to go to the dr to get perscription ...pay for zyban and give him a bonus when he quits...talk about spoiled...and me I am resorting to the patch a lot of people don't believe in it say to go cold turkey but with everything going on stress levels I don't wanna take any chances!!!

BTW are there any other diabetics out there insulin dependant who
have gone through this battle? Not sure how this is going to be incorporated into the recovery
