I’ve always been the type to have 1-2 close friends, and really couldn’t be bothered with more than that. But lately I think it’s too much to ask to count on one person. I had one friend who went off the deep end with a drinking problem, so now she’s gone. She won’t show up for anything and won’t get help. Then I have another who is just a bit treacherous sometimes. And I realize, there’s no one else! Especially having a small child, I don’t have the same relationship with my pre-baby friends. But it takes a long time to make real friends as an adult, especially with a toddler at home and a job. I’ve been working on this for a few months, and have started to build the beginnings of one friendship and a handful of acquaintences – a little progress. I think I’ll work at keeping more friends coming from now on, so I don’t end up in this spot again.

It worked for me after two treatments. Also, remember you don’t go back to smoking, you go back to quitting.
