Linda I found with long and tedious tasks that if I just get started and keep telling my self I got this much done and in a bit I got even more done anf then one of those times I going to say hey I am done. I also found by doing things with People that don't smoke or even never smoked it helped me figure out what to do with the spare time instead of thinking about smoking. the best thing was I decided I could make those unique water fountains and wind chimes. so when I am out my head and eyes are now looking for thing I can make a fountain out of and then making them. Busy hands and mind help fill the time away from the smoking thoughts I have developed.

Hey Girl you just keep doing what you are doing, its been working well for you.

I love this song !

You go Girl !

I agree with Johnny the ones that you dream that you smoke really can seem real, I have wokw up with my lungs hurting and could still taste the cigarettes. Takes a couple of minutes before you realize it was a dream

Yes I know the one was a inhaler just playing about taking a drag off of it but the was the rip off

Dream, a new healthy smoke came out and was all the rave, But when I watched the people smoking it a snake of smoke came out when they exhaled. Frantically I ran around trying to tell people the smoke was bad but no one would listen. After a couple of weeks the media started reporting people missing by the thousands, and the rest was me running from the aligns that where harvesting us for slave labor, using the smoke as a mind control. woke up sweating and tired. i think this was from our discussion on the rip off of Jill's AC yesterday and that I was wearing a new CPAP Mask and Machine

Yes it is that is why you need to keep track of which one you had up your nose, unless your into bogger/mint flavor!

I vote for a trigger of past memory's that your addiction has romanticized and planted in your sub-couscous to catch you off guard at a time when you don't expect it. Basically a time bomb in your cybernetic net work ! Yes I listen to Alex Jones ! It is a Nicosperisy Theory of mine

Take a drag off of one of these babies instead of sniffing it in the nose, Guaranteed you'll have fresh breath and the desire to puff on anything will go away.

My new thing is those Mexican chili suckers with the Lock Jaw sour stuff inside, not sugar free but a killer flavor rush.

They robbed you Jill ! They call it the Harmless Oxygen cigarette ? have you seen it ?

still all over the sugar free butterscotch !

This is where you long timers can really help with what you have substituted for a smoke in trigger situations. IE: Jill's smoke free invisible fake none nicotine OK OK I forgot the Name but you all get my drift. Such as That cold foggy morning sitting on the Refuge porch drinking a hot cup of coffee and puffing on my pipe or a cigar, I kinda substituted toast bread to crew on, did it work yes for that one time looking more towards a cinnamon bread stick next time or a jerky stick cheese sticks work well. Driving I have substituted the Vitamin water for a beer and been cold turkey with the smoke was doing sunflower seed but my tongue kept swelling up from the salt. So what have you long timers come up with as substitute and what was the trigger situation ?

we got to give John a Pass, it was the first time we had met, we had over lapping Game warden days and he came a day early to get away. he was unaware of my quit and heart issue at the time. I had mentioned about Me hankering for a stogie on cold foggy mornings like it was and he tried to accommodate me. Yes it did challenge the bejeaves out of me, first time in months I had even laid eyes on a cigar let alone hold one.

was doing fine and then out of nowhere John Hands me a pack of cigars YIKES! My mind starts to Jump back into smoking mode, I had earlier put away a trigger of being on the pourch the smell of fresh rained on dry dirt man that and hot asphalt just rained on smell great. but there I am with a picture of me taking a deep drag off of a sweet Blue berry cigar.! WOOOOO John Thank you but no thank you comes out all squeaky and loud I quit and I had a a heart attack ! but you don't inhale them its not like smoking he said. that's all right no thank. so close I came almost validated not inhaling this was a test of will and devotion to myself. last place I can think of that would have strong triggers for me, at least that I can think of Hey Guys we all have those moments the only thing that save me was when those cigars hit my hand and my eye fixed on them I remember terror shooting thru me shear terror. It was like when you were out with some friends had a beer or two, you know your ot drunk and then the flashing lights go off! that moment when your heart stops or skips a beat before you can think it was that kind of terror.

Yes I know Its Monday for all you Poor unfortunate souls But for me it is my Friday with the days Off to follow ! This last couple days have been a cluster Fudge, really had me on the edge but 3 day out at the refuge keeping the bad guys at bay, sighting in my 06 and popping off some 9mm will have me right as rain. so for the next 3 days you all have a great time and enjoy all you can while you can, You smell that ? No serious that a deep breath, do you smell that ? FREEDOM ! free from Nicotine, free from work free from the daily grind god it is good to be free ! Ok I may be a little stressed !

can you believe these felines

Could be they were strong coffee

I spent some time Pondering this and what I came up was this: Most of the Die hard Ill smoke until they pull the cigarette from my cold dead fingers are dead. The others like my self have run their bodies into the ground and are now paying for it and for the youngers its just a stinky nasty thing that dirty old people did and are out vaping Fruit loops. Now if I were to Think more o it All the BS laws and the stigma applied to smoking in California have succeeded in pressuring and deterring people from smoking or into quitting smoking as a way to blend in. So all this leaves me to believe that in the very near future California will be the first state to illegalize smoking and become the first none smoking state of the union. now thats all I can stands cause I can't stands no more

Thank you I still have the anxiety and competition reward craves. Not so bad but still there.
