  1. Buck up lads the best is yet to come. I quit in Oct 2004 and have had what I would call two major relapses.

     

    They both came in the Summers 2005 and 2006 and had to do with the fact that I had not yet "accepted the idea of not smoking yet" as douG says.

     

    I had also had a couple drinks and was out with the lads (they don't smoke but they do drink which is a major trigger for me).

     

    The first relapse lasted a couple months the second a few days. These were both after several months of cold turkey. I felt bad both times. That is a good thing as it motivates. On the other hand don't feel too bad your a hard core smoker move on.

     

    Don't get me wrong I am big fan of smoking just not a big fan of dying young.

     

    Now I have stopped thinking about it "everyday" so that is a good thing.

     

    For me the gum and just a couple here and there didn't do it for me. Both are nicotine which you must remove 100%.

     

    There's tons of people with similar stories. Bottom line is you just have to stop putting them in your mouth.

  2. Yep fingers crossed PF.....

     

    John, as for knowing about the requirement that is fine.

     

    What p's me off is we follow the passport offices recommendations and accept their service level estimates (20 days) and then they unplug the phone (so to speak) and add 45 days to the estimate. If I had known this we would have taken it in and paid for the rush service. Is passport Canada going to refund my airfare etc?

     

    Frankly not acceptable. Maybe I should do the same at tax time but I would probably find myself in court.

     

    Just seems that taxes go up, service levels and accountability evaporate.

  3. Anyone trying to get a passport for March Break. We sent my daugters in before Christmas (Dec 20) and still have no news. Our VISA was billed two weeks ago but still nothing.

     

    We also cannot get through to a live body on the phone. It just cuts you off.

     

    We are travelling on Mar 11th and would hate to cancel the trip because we cant get her passport. That would be a drag.

     

    Anyone know how to get in touch with the Passport Office?

     

    Anything that has worked in getting this resolved?

     

    Your thoughts suggestions appreciated.
