Keira Knightley deserves to be spanked for publicly declaring her smoking habit "sexy" - how retro. I still love her wicked acting. Happy Birthday! :wub:

I want the golf tee.

Think you should try it out first! Haha. :wub:

Yay, well done you: you're hanging true and tough! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: cpk

Sincere congrats. I'm very inspired. Well done indeed! :wub: :wub: :wub: cpk

I have no idea who the Goddess of the Quit is...maybe it's the best part of me. I see the quit as something I am doing...but right action somehow feels to be supported because it's life affirming. I'm happy today, and Ms. SP, thanks again, for your wisdom. I'll tuck this feeling away in my toolbox. :wub: cpk

Nice to read early on in my quit. I'm ashamed to say how many flights I almost missed, or actually MISSED because I was smoking in some dingy far corner of the airport. Really lovely read, made me laugh, too, and laughter is great medicine early on...cpk :wub:

Good luck, sweetheart! :wub: cpk

SNOW this morning almost too deep to move through... in my mind hear the Goddess of the Quit whisper ~ I will wrap you in this still, surreal, beautiful landscape while you get your bearings. SNOW was it always this white? so...bright? BEFORE the quit i would be tramping off to the corner store for smokes and stale coffee i would be standing in the blizzard, standing in some bleak outside space with my eyelashes crusted with white tightly pulling in the corners of myself puffing, scowling, cursing the snow puffing, scowling, cursing puffing puffing scowling cursing puffing like a frozen corpse in a frozen hell SNOW it swirls against the window where I am now all cozy sitting in the best seat of the upscale neighborhood cafe drinking very good espresso and eating a lemon pecan scone The Goddess of the Quit breathes blessings into my being and her breath smells like sweet candy She whispers ~ I know today, all day, you will say.... I jump in, yes, I will say... I will say ~ Nope! Not one puff! the barista has put on some kind of chiming bells music, like electronic gamelan and i could get up and dance i could hug all the coffee drinkers i could pet all the dogs under the tables licking the snow off their cold paws The Goddess of the Quit whispers ~ This is a taste of the new normal. Wow! I smile a secret smile. cpk 21 days :wub:

Yeah, and maybe people could give them to smoker friends and family as not so subtle hints...

:D haha

Nope! :wub: cpk

Congrat on first month. I can't wait to hit this number. Bravo. :wub: cpk

Thanks. Maybe I'll try to continue to be awesomely ridiculous, as it seems to be guarding my quit! :wub: cpk

No way!!! Titties??? If smokes were called titties, I wonder how many people would smoke!

Congratulations! I am so very inspired! :wub: cpk

Thank you, and I just love your feet profile.

Loving this Humbled Hilton Head well done indeed! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, El Bandito!

Thank you so very much!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

Oh My Gosh! I feel like I'm winning Oscars at the Academy Awards! I'm overwhelmed with Well Done You! - like SERIOUSLY.....Thanks so much, WDY too!

Wow. I'm not fully feeling this yet, but today - for this day - I'm going to work on this. Warrior-like. Thanks. Have a great day! :wub: cpk

OMG, I am soooooooo beginning to love this quit!!!!! Well done YOU!!!

I know some people suggest pretend smoking on straws but to me that seems dangerous. Anyway, I did it before and I didn't keep the quit. Ditto toothpicks, cinnamon sticks, licorice. Sucking on a binky is also ridiculous enough to bring the whole oral fixation thing to a painful awareness, like, am I NOT AN ADULT?

OMG, It is absolutely my most favorite thing when Brits say, "Well done you" - it's like a fantasy come true to have this said to me! Well done YOU! :wub:
