Dunedad, you know we love you. But this situation rings like your response to the gas post where your wife says something to the effect of "what new side-effect - you've been doing that for years". Really, 13 years? Did you go to a new dentist or tell the old one that you were away on affairs of the state so you couldn't get in for 13 years?
I've been thinking about you lately - the freak out at the ultimate vacation (in which you were stellar), the alcohol (in which you were wonderfully accomidating (sp?)), the weight gain (I didn't read that one- just saw "I never thought I'd see myself here") [I myself am trying to stay out of there] , the dentist. What are you trying to say? I think it's something deeper.
I would be very happy for you to tell me that I am wrong. I don't know, something about being grateful for quitting, or quitting revealing underlying issues, or the same issues being there even when you quit or taking care of yourself means ....what. Did the dentist blame you smoking for your teeth? I know it has to do with gum disease and healing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm just wondering if there is a deeper issue. I'm wondering this b/c I've seen such wonderful momentum with you and I would feel responsible if I am supposed to be catching something.
