The Red Vine Disaster

still good

Judy, While I can't tell you from experience that the will cravings go away, I have heard that they eventually do, or don't, but they certainly, in every case, become unimportant and not bothersome. I look forward to the day. The magic will happen if you don't smoke that first one. I'm at 33 days and I noticed yesterday that the *nicodemon twitch* I used to feel when the anger-trigger hit me is now gone. Yea! Progress happens everyday whether we feel it or not. Each day that passes without us lighting up is a MAJOR VICTORY!! Nice job on your 20 days. You ARE doing something that is not easy to do, so give yourself a reward. Take care and come back often.

The Red Vine Disaster

Ha ha ha! Red Vines are red raspberry flavored licorice whips. I really liked them when I had those weird feelings that might be called cravings. Yeah, yeah...grrr. I'm keeping a good sense of humor about this because I know that a few (or more) pounds is a small price to pay for what I have today. gpw

NRT is doing my head in

Yeah, I'd wait until feeling better. I had that decision to make, too. I waited for a good day and I'm glad I did. Why make it harder on yourself? stay close Grateful non-smoker, gpw [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 31 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 479 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $124 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 56

1 month or 30 days celebration

We're practically twin quitters! Happy 30 day birthday! I'll eat a big, fat piece of cake and sing "Happy Birthday" for us! What's your favorite flavor? Are you sure you want to be known as "Relapser"? Doesn't fit. Again, congrats! gpw [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 31 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 479 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $124 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Found a Low-Cal Cookie

Thanks for telling us about the cookies. I'd really be interested in starting a thread just for listing <100 calorie snacks. After my Red Vine Disaster I found that pretzel sticks are 100 calories per 48! (the 2-3 long variety)I can live with that.

Do I set the meter back or what?

Arwensmom, You're back and that's what counts. You got back quickly, too. Good job! Thanks for telling me how NOT worth it it was. gpw
