I didn't want to quit when I did. I had to, because I was secret smoker and they were raising the insurance prices for smokers. If you didn't fess up, you could get the axe. I couldn't, I mean couldn't, come clean. To the point that I knew I had to give up my #1 thing in my life. Once I decided I was quitting again, I started reading and watching everything I could get my hands on about nicotine addiction. Slowly the wool was pulled from my eyes and I started to see things in a new light. They say people don't change. They can, and they do. The idea that people don't change is just something people cling to when they don't want to change, even though they know they should.

I have seen several book fangirls talking about the show on FB (and books are usually the topic de jour) - but I know nothing about it. I'm outta the loop.

Well, I'm not adding much here, but I'm watching "Parks and Rec" on netlix. I've kind of snoozed through it until season 3 but now it's REALLY funny.

Chrysalis, can I just say I'm so glad you are here? My thoughts on quitting change for the better every day that I stay quit. I have had times (when I'm really mad at work usually, funnily enough I hadn't smoked at work for the last 5 years that I smoked, as I was a closet smoker) that I really felt like smoking through out my quit. The thoughts are fleeting and totally manageable. Distraction was the key for me. And cursing. :blush: Here's where is gets *really* cool though. I smoked for 20 years, and now, honest to Pete, I can't remember what it feels like to smoke even when I try. I have substituted coffee for smoking, though the void is much, much smaller than it was at first. **I didn't much love Sarge's easy peasy for quite a while, and that is being polite about it, but the further into my quit I got, the more i came around and it started to make sense. And I never thought it would.

Love this post. They tell us, and they tell us, and they tell us that it's too hard to quit. My first three quits I believed them. This time, I did not. And my quit stuck.

Please! He'll get a big head :acute: J/K my thanks as well. Thanks to you Beacon also for being so lovely. And thanks to all you guys, it's nice to kick back and converse. :popcorm2:

You got a lot on your plate. Keep on keeping on!

Ok!!

I miss making lists.

Finishing all my work tomorrow hopefully by 5.

I miss the 90's. I loved the 90's.

Ouch! But I like your positive attitude. Chocolate may help too.

I miss this thread already for when I go to another one.

I think the 'aha' moment is a glorious thing.

I'm lost already

I miss the show 'Drop Dead Diva.' That was a really good show.

Congrats CS! You are a true success story.

Yayyyyy Joe! So happy for you my friend:)

Oh my gosh. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
