We don't get to decide all of our future but we do have some control over the present, so focus on what we can do. What you can do, right now, is not smoke. You're in control of that.

Sazerac, fennel is nice shaved across the grain and dressed with lemon and oil as a salad. Add celery cut the same way if you have it or add some carrots.

Happy Birthday!

Knowledge is power. You can't put that genie back in the bottle. Keep going forward.

Good Job Kate! You have a lot of friends cheering you on.

Congratulations Forestgreen! Celebrate your first year of freedom!

Smoking will never solve any problem. It's not an option. You did well to use your rational brain to see through the lies your junkie brain was giving you.

Of course you can do it. There will be some discomfort but it won't hurt you. Your body will finally have a chance to start healing itself.

Breath, low and slow. It will pass. Try to relax your muscles.

Celebrate in fantastic style! Congratulations on your first year of freedom!

Good job, well done!

Great job Boo! It's been a genuine pleasure to see your life open up in so many ways.

Great job Jimmy! Celebrate!

I think one of these must be right.

Enjoy your celebration!

Congratulations on your first year of freedom!

Congratulations Sally!

Welcome back. Maybe try writing a list of why you are quitting and the positive benefits as they occur to you would be helpful. If you have your goals written down, they will be easy to remember when your addict mind tries to derail your quit. You can also write a pre-respond to your SOS so others can help you if needed.

You can do it, jump!

A problem for me as well; it is for sure less expensive. I'm glad you had a nice time with your company.

The craves can't hurt you and they will pass. Try to dismiss thoughts of smoking as quickly as possible. A good attitude helps and knowledge is power.

Wow! It must really be good if it even surprised you. I would go with the duck at Brennans.
