My favorite Styx Song (besides Castle Walls) Day into night she's with me How sweet is her warm embrace Safe in the scent of jasmine So safe in her gold and lace Mornings I find, she's left me So cold, so alone but aware I try to escape, she finds me Oh run though I may, she's there There, there, there, there Luck is a lady whose smile Is as cold as a stone She'll bring you things Many things you might never have known But when your die is cast She'll have the final laugh at you She'll lock you in a duel Where you come out the fool Beware of the Queen of Spades Her black widow's curse might find you yet Beware of a love that you will regret Her love means only your death Day into night she's with me Turn of a card, she's there The first time is free, you know But from now on, pay me Me, me, me, me

A lot of that gum lol :) RC Seriously, my replacement though I actually quit cold on coffee b/c of coffee flavor I couldn't do it...so I still kept caffiene, I drank a lot of strong tea hot and cold, I know it's extreme but I had to b/c that coffee flavor association was rough on me. I had to survive and wasn't willing to cut caffiene. I would never recommend half-caf, that's just mean, and what I did I wouldnt recommend, but I had a good substitute with tea, caffiene with no association. Hey if the coffee doesn't trigger you, you'll not have to do a thing. If it does like it did me I couldn't learn gracefully. how to keep it around and still not smoke, some stuff I cut totally just by how it made me feel, I just left it behind if it wasn't right. it is okay...that is not any kind of good news at all... Not carrot juice man but got to keep the blood sugar up, :) Lots of people, younger, who have good ideas as well... you'll do well, build yourself a quit, customized RC :)

hey mfic welcome aboard I'm 58 quit a few years ago. Get right with it. You are the mfic in charge of your quit, and that is an appropriate name right there, that's taking accountability and is a damned good first step to quit for the rest of your life. the real HMFIC here is MQ, this is his website. Tips? Post often, chew that gum and cut back on the coffee a bit, cause you can go hard or you can go easy...most people go hard cause they don't study like you are doing Never understood never-smokers, they just aren't addictive personalities is all I can say about it, You think we're pretty, we're pretty ugly man cause we got addiction, and have got death and people we love dying and hanging on so they won't . We got all the shit here man and then some. And this is real as life, we're all dying a little more each day we live and some of us just putting the pieces together to walk one more day quit and sober. We were smokers and come from smokers, and most have lost of family and friends to it...so pretty ain't a word I would use to describe this place and people here. It may seem superficial being in the cloud but it's as real as real can get, so it's graceful and it's the best that human beings can be, at their worst. We're all addicts here, one puff away from a pack a day :) good to see you, glad to see another smoker bite the dust. GTQ,

Happy Mothers Day To all you mom's out there! I have always believed that there is one thing beside having to pay taxes and dying that you will have in your life, and that is the love of a mother for her child.

Glad you asked Big bonus: I have grandchildren who have NEVER seen me smoking, All of them 7 years or less old...that would be like 5 out of 7 of them who never had to ask me where I was going when I was sneaking out to smoke. That matters most to me, and to their mom's and dads.

congrats ricki! Awesome...stay on it, and choke it out with whatever you need to! I read something about a big chocolate heist in the last couple of months...what a coincidence...bakon is getting all friendly wanting to pin it on someone so don't cop to it :)
