Boo

I can't help but wonder how many of them think they can't quit or it's too difficult to bother even trying. I hope they figure out that freedom is attainable and quitting is very doable. The sooner the better. Can't really explain why, but even in the earliest days of my quit seeing others smoke didn't provoke any feelings of wanting one for myself. Certain events and times triggered craves, but just seeing someone smoke didn't. Within just a couple of weeks I did notice that cigarette smoke reeks.

2 Just have to fire up some Gerry and the Pacemakers and memorize the lyrics to "You'll Never Walk Alone."

2 Hey Doreen. Saw that Liverpool won yesterday and a 17 year-old kid is now the toast of the town.

Go sniff a shoe.

Double post...

Bakon, if you're looking to brag about your new shoes...just go ahead and do it already!

NOPE!

If a cigarette was the magic elixir that cures anger, we would have been eternally calm and in a constant state of zen when we were smoking. Realistically, we had stress and anger when we smoked and on top of all that were almost constantly in some varying degree of withdrawal. Nicotine leaves the system more quickly during times of stress, so we needed more cigarettes during stressful times. Smoking doesn't alleviate anger, it compounds it.

NOPE!

That monkey has some cojones.

You know Doreen, if it's a spanking you want all you need to do is ask.

Wait....what? I think all the excitement of multiple O's may have you in a foggy state of mind.
