OK is Good. So glad you are back. :) Twenty One + hours quit is REALLY Good. Sulking isn't as much fun being proud of yourself for quitting ! Reward your Now. Learn from yesterday and learn well but, reward your Now. You have quit smoking. This is Great. Good on you. :)

Oh REZ. How are you gonna scratch that poison ivy patch with all your thermal layers and no ice scraper ! Remember there are gentler latitudes, brother man. but, here is not gentle enough for moi 47f , 8c down to 38 tonight my garden, my bones... :( . It doesn't even make me happy thinking about how happy Doll probably is.

Wendy ! Wendy ! How are you today ? Nope Nope Nope Nope :)

-5 Hi Babs Doll and K9 too

-9 hello all :)

Oh, Wendy ! Oh dear Wendy. Quit beating yourself up...Today is a Brand New Day. and you are on the Good path. It is OK, just Keep going forward. Examine your reasons for smoking, really look at them and learn all you can. These lessons can be your ammunition in this new sticky quit. Did smoking feel good ? Taste good ? Smell good ? Do you any good ? Once nicotine is gone from your body, the 'ahhhh' moment you get relieving your addiction is Gone. You have to re-establish the addiction to have that particular 'ahhh'. You will find different 'ahhh' moments. I use deep breaths of Oxygen. It is a panacea. Some use exercise. You must find your own new 'ahhhh' generator and cultivate it. No worries, Wendy. We will watch your back as best we can. Did you think of posting an SOS ? Pre-respond to your own SOS HERE This will help you and help us if we get the chance to talk you down from the ledge. Look forward. You will Triumph. Love, S
