^^^ LOL - Classic!

I know that I have done the best thing possible to improve my quality of life and hopefully, extend my life or at least not shorten it intentionally :)

Haha ... what do I know.? I'm a Canuck :)

The increased anxiety we feel in the early part of our quit has our emotions on edge and it doesn't take much to push us over. Unfortunately, your job is bound to put extra pressure on your emotions. As Doreen said, it will pass as you get more comfortable living your life as a non smoker. Until then, try doing some deep breathing when you feel your emotions getting the better of you. It can help settle your anxiety and give you a mental focus point until your emotions settle down a bit.

Hahaha .......... what? Tonight's game is exactly why Houston got Verlander. Be interesting to see if he's up to the task :unsure: If Houston doesn't get their bats going, the pitching won't really matter much. Is Brady still able to play? He's gotta be getting up there by now.

I am proud to be able to pledge NOPE every day. I feel fortunate to have found this site and all the educational information it offers about this addiction. It also represents basically what I was doing inside my head every day when I first quit and before I joined the site so it makes perfect sense that I would just formalize that pledge daily. And, lastly, as Doreen said, it's an acknowledgement to myself that just one puff on any given day could destroy all the hard work I have done and put my own personal health at greater risk once again and I don't want either of those things - NOPE!
