groovy, sonic. let's score some shrooms from beacon's thread and kick out the jams on Topanga Beach.

Addiction is Everything about Lies and Denial. The sooner I came to grips about my addiction and faced my denial, when I stopped promoting the Lies and Deceit of Addiction, the easier my quit became. Truth is Freedom.

Those people are obedient addicts. You have quit smoking. End of discussion, I'd say. Go have some FUN. Animals don't smoke either.

-8 will the sticks behave themselves in a civilized manner today ? or will the ignore button need to be employed again ? I am sorry Sonic took a wrong turn and fell in with that hooligan, bakon. He is such a nice boy as bakon was once long, long ago before that terrible incident... Glad to see boo using ropes in interesting ways, I thought that ice did him in !

-6 Hello darling smoke free creatures, another day in paradise.

You look GREAT on that swing, Doreen.

This is a fierce little game ! Full of cozenage and chicanery.

Day Five. Reward yourself. Power through any discomfort. Do not Doubt. Do not Smoke. :D

Your addict brain is going to find surprising ways to remain an active addict. Changing patterns is a good defense. Your brain is returning to how it always should be and each crave that you beat destroys a nicotine neuro pathway. You will never have 'that' crave again as your brain establishes new rewards. This is why it is important that you reward yourself, they are much more important than I ever dreamed. Read this, The Significance of Rewards. Congratulations on your quit ! Remember it is a Journey .

'My cilia got to stand at attention all day' No kidding, your cilia are rejoicing ! "Smokers keep a continuous thermal and chemical burn percolating in their lung linings." Give yourself time to heal, One Free Day at a time. Stay focused. Breathe. Reward yourself. You are quitting smoking. Congratulations.

I Love this, Babs. I Love this whole thread.

-1 Boo, I think you are safer under the train. Just sayin'. :(

YOU are having a spectacular quit ! The planning, the thought, the contingencies...all of these things you do insure success. Your quit is a beautiful flower unfolding. Everyday will bring new delights but, don't be thrown off by a sudden crave out of nowhere...these are the dying embers of addiction. Stay vigilant and empowered and Have FUN. S

-1 I'm so overcome with emotion, looky all those lovely toys thrown about and smashed. Poor Sad Sticks.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s ! I am getting ready for your YEAR in October. Hope you come by and shed some tears for the Poor Sticks.

-20 Yay another WIN. Chicks are Beautiful, Honest and Observant. The Cheater Sticks have thrown all their toys out of the play pen. Give me a moment, if you will, to dry my eyes. Elsewhere, Boo has been thrown under the train again, now That Is Sad. :( Maybe he will get the Big O as a consolation prize.

You have been an obedient slave to your addiction and the addict is going to whine and kick. Try replacing junkie thoughts with something simple like looking at your hand, examine your hand... just something to change up your focus. Take a few Deep Breaths. Suck on a Cinnamon stick. Get some oxygen to your brain. Keep up your Blood Sugar ! Go outside and kick and scream. Do anything but, smoke. Get some pleasure going on. Reward yourself. The chaos you are experiencing is Temporary. Go write an sos to yourself.

-16 Sonic, is The Chief playing neutral instead of being an upright Stick ? What does this mean ?

that's twice, chief ! I guess you're really not really here or, really not really there... :P -16
