That story is hilarious! Thank you for making me laugh tonight, I needed it.

1 pack of Marlboros per day. No more, no less.

Stay strong Juan, you've come too far to turn back now!! Cry, scream, yell, whatever you've got to do. Just don't smoke.

True story Ladybug....hahaha! It's funny because I was sitting here reading this thread laughing out loud because I've done so many of the things you all had mentioned. Then I thought....oh hey, I should tell them about my candle fiasco.....lol

Oh yeah, I have rummaged thru an ashtray or two in my day looking for a cig that still had another puff or two on it if I had run out....lol Recently, I was on my way out the door heading to work and realized my husband took my lighter to work. I frantically searched the house and couldn't find matches or another lighter. I ended up lighting a toothpick on fire off of the stove. I then lit a small Glade candle and carried it out with me to my car. Put the candle right in the center console cup holder. Brilliant, right? Hey, no way would I make the 15 minute ride to the gas station to buy another lighter......anyway, I'm riding along pretty impressed with myself for solving the lighter problem when I smell something burning. Yup. you guessed it. I lit my coat sleeve on fire. :rolleyes:

Good job Amy. Proud of you :)

Congratulations Marti! I am so very proud of you.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations Amber!!

Congratulations Holski!!

Sounds like a good plan.

Awful to say but I was relieved to read you were 2 months into your quit and found yourself sitting there debating going in to buy a pack. I am a month into my quit and still have to fight with myself some days (like today) not to fly off to the gas station because I've got myself convinced that I NEED one. You give me hope that its still normal to feel these brutal craves and that it'll eventually go away.

Every time you manage to say NO to wanting a cig your quit becomes that much stronger. Good for you :)

I am proud of you both!! Keep us posted!!

Day 3, that is awesome. Go Juan!!

Good for you Evelyn. As long as you are not smoking, that is the main thing. And I have a feeling that as more time goes by you are going to think less and less about it and then one day you are just going to forget to put your patch on and that will be the end of that. I am proud of you :)

That freedom sounds priceless Doreen :)

Love Netflix! I am (impatiently) waiting for Season 3 of American Horror Story. Does anyone happen to know if there is some kind of "coming soon" type guide or website for Netflix? We've only had it for a couple of months so it's still pretty new to me.

I am reading The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. Granted, I already quit smoking a month ago. I am just hoping that this will help me with the whole mental aspect of it.

Welcome Amy! Tomorrow is the big day. We are all rooting for you :)

I am here. March 6th. :)

I will not smoke today.

I don't know what chuffed means but coming from you, I'm sure it's good....lol How's your Mom? Any better?

Congratulations!!

Congratulations to you both!!
