Wooooo hoooo! Thanks my friends. Without you, It would have been so hard. Instead, with you, one might say Easy Peasy!

What a glorious day to say Nope!

Dors, double celebrations for you my friend! A very good job, six months of nonsmoking freedom! :) :)

You guys are so great

Nope! Even on today when I have to do something very stressful, I will not smoke

Chrys, good to hear sending good vibes to you and mom.

Lady Bug, congratulations! :)

Awesome! To me, one week was amazing and I knew I could do it! I am happy for you!

Amber, congratulations! :) :) :)

Thank you Beth and congratulations! :)

Nope

I need to "reorganize" one of my departments. Long term managers made to reapply. Some will not make it. I ******* hate this. Each day in this job takes a piece of my soul.

Hmm. Work is cutting into my tv time :(

Nay Nay! Happy Birthday! Woo hoo! :)

What I ate instead of smoking: Sugar free lemon drops, jolly ranchers, carmel candies, coffee candies, cinnamon disks, gum. Orange tea, orange crystal lite, diet crush soda. Pudding. Popcorn. Pistachio nuts. I kept a big bowl of sugar free candy on my coffee table where I used to place my ash tray. Scented candles.

:)

This is great. I admire all of the creativity I see here on the train. The above is another example :)

Nope

I ate some today too! Plus some big cherries. And I have been eating peaches, plums, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, cantaloupe, strawberries and honey dew. :0 And veggie shish kabobs broiled with salt and olive oil And avocados which are ripe and on the ground here free

:)

I used the patch. I still had to work at my quit alot by reading and posting here and other places and exercise and keeping busy and eating and laughing, etc. :) you can see what will work for you. Just start and take it day by day is my suggestion. Perhaps get a ticker too and write down why you want to quit and how it feels the first few days. I was just looking at what I wrote down the other day.,
