hey darlin' great to see you !

Congratulations on your 8 years of freedom, Rory. I am truly happy you have found us, your experiences, your 'war journal' will be incredibly useful to the community. Hope your friend finds her way, away from nicotine addiction and has some fun here. You are a great friend.

Congratulations, Paul on your five years of freedom from nicotine. Your quit and your posts were incredibly influential in my quit and the fact that you composed thoughtful and intelligent posts made me an instant fan of yours. Thank you for all you have done for me and all you continue to do here.

I know Bing is your guy, Jo. Elvis is not my guilty pleasure either.

As if 'Dick In A Box' wasn't enough. ^^^^^^^^^ Now, some sweaty and oh so sincere, El

'These Boots' Nancy is alive. Her Mother, Nancy, who married Frank Sinatra died yesterday.

I say, eyes need watering to grow.

Each day makes you stronger. Congratulations on your quit.

I certainly made the decision to quit and made the decision to commit to my quit. Everyday I make this decision. Everyday I stand by my decision. Usually when thoughtful decisions take precedence over my actions chaos remains at bay. When actions take precedence over thoughtful decisions.... Well. You. Can. Imagine.

Hey Sneaky one, I've been talking to you on another thread but, thought I should welcome you here too. Congratulations on your quit, It is great to see you posting, staying close to the board has helped innumerable quits.

Still in Florida I gather all my stillness Like that iguana. Iguanas rustle, not hiding in Palmetto. Beautiful and strong. Back to New Orleans with new adorable one. May be great, maybe. May be litmus test my ground, my power, my house my ways may end all.

"a few puffs wont hurt now" hey Jo ! ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ thanks for posting

Darlin' Jo, Your quit is young and smoky thoughts will continue, do not fear them. They will become less and less important. Believe me but, they may pop up randomly for the rest of our days. Any flicker of a smoky thought is now vague for me. It isn't even annoying anymore. It has no power except I use them as a reminder to remain vigilent. Your smoky thoughts have no power, YOU have the power. I know addiction is a subversive condition and we must always pay attention to it's temptation. All we can do is say, NOPE. friggin' HELL NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE It is kinda like H A L T too, trying to figure out what the body is calling out for. For me, after I was well into my quit...my body was calling out for some kind of comfort, something to give me a bump of endorphins. Sometimes just smiling for no reason, even a fake smile did the job. Other times, I would walk or listen to some favorite music, dance aound or participate in 'Stewie Techs' favourite activity (ahem). Something that assuredly cheered me helped smoky thoughts fade away. You have so much going on right now, baby. Try to stay on the good foot. Listen to the good brother, James Brown
