this is my first time posting in this section 
so, just a little background about myself first...
my FF and i have been together for 4.5 years and started talking about getting engaged when we realized that he would not be able to come with me when i move to attend grad school. we now live together in a condo that we own in AZ and i am leaving in july to go to DC for grad school. he isn''t able to come with me because we can''t sell the condo and he must stay behind to pay the mortgage - we all know the housing market SUCKS.
Anyway, i worked with a local jeweler to build my ring and it will be done on tuesday
i can''t wait to see it but, since i insisted that i get to do the ring, my FF wanted to maintain some *surprise element* so he will pick it up and decide how to ask me. i can''t wait to see what he does but i hope he does it SOON! i want to enjoy being engaged with him as much as possible before i leave in two months.
now, into the REAL question (i.e. the post topic)
I have been a smoker for about 10 years and for about the last 2-3 i have only smoked while drinking. i NEVER have an urge outside of that but it seems to be completely IMPOSSIBLE to refrain when i''m drinking (and i''ve been told by a professor there''s an actual neurological basis to this phenomena thanks to brain chemistry). i REALLY want to cut this out because i don''t want to smoke on my wedding night after a few glasses of wine!! we don''t have a date yet or anything, and i''m sure it''s not going to be for a WHILE thanks to school, but i know it will take me a long time to quit. i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and overcome. if so, PLEASE tell me how you did it! i''m open to ANY suggestions....
