Hi Jess, welcome! :)

See the quote above from Robert Frost. I found this interesting and appropriate to this discussion http://mirthandmotivation.com/2011/12/04/inspiration-the-best-way-out-is-always-through/

Sonic, kicking butt! :)

Rowly, hi. Some thoughts. Stop giving yourself permission to smoke in the beginning when you are going through withdrawal. I don't know of any good tricks other than for you to use all of your strength to hold out when the waves come. Colleen used to have a tag on her signature that said something like the only way to the other side is through. To me in this context, it means going through the baptism of horror for a few weeks and then trudging on day by day, week by week, until the urges pretty much go away and you are past it. The urges for me have gone away for the most part. I am pretty fat but whatever. And everyday you should take steps for your quit. Post here. Read your Allen Carr. Exercise. Deep breath. Eat candy. Wean yourself off the gum when ready. Annoy your friends by talking obsessively about your quit. Watch stop smoking videos and meditation on youtube. Etc.

Stu, go for it. I have had for the last 10 years convertible sports cars (three models) with a v8 engine. I started driving these when I decided that if I worked a demanding job, and I had no children, I should drive a great car. :) I love zipping around the other cars if I feel like going fast....,I think I am ready now for a more sedate sedan but it has been fun.

:) yey!
