Good call. I paced a lot during the early days of my quit. A good walk-around is like hitting the reset button when you get all wound up. Congratulations on keeping your quit Tony.

I sure would love to see her.

Congratulations on quitting smoking ! Here is a thread of things/techniques that helped us through the early days First Week Nicotine Free and Joel Spitzer's Daily Quitting Lesson Guide and a short poignant/profound little film

Maybe she eloped?

NOPE

Thank you, friends Jordan, Jillar, Boo, Bakon, Doreen, Catlover, Paul, Linda, Roz, Queen B and the rest of you smoke free creatures. Whew. I probably made the best Gumbo I have ever made and that is saying something. The whole meal was so damn Good ! I don't think I have ever made everything so tasty. Chicken Liver Pate, Stuffed Shrooms, Shrimp Remolade, Chicken/Andouille Gumbo. Buttermilk Biscuits, Forbidden Rice. and this crazy desert I thought of, no recipe. 72/78 % chocolate squares in packets of filo pastry with dollops of creme fraiche and wizzed up calamondons (from a friends tree )on the side. Never made these before and wowzer. Simple and EVIL. Now, my kitchen looks like nothing happened. Love that. I am SO tired. So tired. Daughter/Spouse/Father in Law taking me to Brennans on Friday. It is going to have to go some to beat Chez Sazerac but, it will be SO nice to sit, be exceptionally served and with such fine company. I'll be back in a few. Just wanted to thank y'all for your posts and share the news. I didn't burn the biscuits or the roux and didn't sweat a thing. Now for a nice L O N G nap.

NOPE

Hey !!!.....where are you ????I've been looking everywhere !!!!

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever Happy Friday, everybody!

Remember why you want to be a non-smoker, keep reminding yourself when the waves hit...do it over and over and over until it passes and you win. I was in the shower more in those first few days than ever before. Whatever it takes. And GOOD on you for posting an SOS! Stay close to the board. We ALLLLL want to see you succeed and will help you however we can. Breathe and know it will pass and you'll be SO happy you stood strong.

tony950, if you can just ride out a couple of days, the nicotine will be out of your system and then it is just a matter of redirecting those thoughts. I smoked for 42 years and never thought I could quit. This forum was the boost I needed. Looking back, I can not believe how easy it really was. It is the addiction that is calling you to smoke. You have the power to control that addiction. Be strong!

thanks paul. im trying really hard to, to stop thinking about it

The craves can't hurt you and they will pass. Try to dismiss thoughts of smoking as quickly as possible. A good attitude helps and knowledge is power.

Hopefully, she makes like a boomerang and comes back soon. I've expanded my repertoire to include international dad jokes.

think i have a spare pen arond the house some place

Tony If you caved in and smoked you'd just have to go through this all over again the next time. Might as well make this time count. Keep telling yourself you can do this.....because you're worth it.

If you have a straw ,cut it ,the same length of a cig....we call it Jillar,s air cigerette.... Or use a pen ...go through the the motions ...taking in good fresh air ... Stay close ....

Hey Tony, good on you for posting. Just keep telling yourself 'this too shall pass' and before you know it, it will. And the next crave will be just a little bit easier. You can do it!

Tony deep breath .....go have a long shower ...go for a long walk .... Read all you can here .....you don't want to smoke ..... well done for coming here .... Stay strong ....

NOPE!

Well @BAT you could put your Bat Suit on and fly over and help Cbdave!

Stay busy tony950. Don't give yourself time to dwell on it. Go for a walk or work the punching bag.

Chuck Yeager is celebrating his 97th birthday today. Living legend. American icon. And quite possibly the coolest dude to ever live. Happy Birthday Chuck.
