    "Unfortunately for me, like Twain, Dub, Tom and millions of others, it's the starting again that's the problem"

    It's almost scary how much it becomes a part of your life. It's un-natural for me to sit behind the wheel without a dip of Cope.

    What I wasn't really anticipating was the compulsion while working on the car. Out in the 90 degree 112% humidity yesterday trying to track down electrical gremlins on a 3000GT, sweat was literally dripping off me & I started breaking stuff & doing everything wrong. I realized that it was withdrawal symptoms. After a nice dose of nicotine, everything logically pointed to the MFI Relay.

    I'm not justifying the addiction - I'm actually advocating the need to quit. I'd love to at least cut back to the point where I want one rather than need one.

    Nicotine addiction actually changes your thought processes!Firing of the synapses.
    That's why you can't "think" until you get a dose.
    I used to work on a construction site with a bunch of smokers.If you asked them a question,they really couldn't answer until they took a drag. NO joke!
