So THIS is what an emotion feels like...

Inhale.......... Exhale.......... Inhale.......... Exhale.......... Patch free, two days down, one to go... And a big wahoo to the New Year's quitters! I'm about a day away from 1000 not smoked too, couldn't believe that one when I saw it! Feeling a bit like a bubblehead today, and one cranky piece of work but hanging in there. Thing is, I have NO desire whatsoever to smoke, I'm just irritable. Looking forward to waking up Wednesday morning free and clear. What a great Valentine's Day pressie - show myself I love me by being nicotine free! (How seriously cool is THAT?!?) :p x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 42 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 982 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �231 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 16 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

HELP!! MY BOSS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!! CRAVINGS ARE KILLING ME!!

Way to go Shortcake! Just popped by to say it's not crazy to like the smell of smoke - I must admit I actually like it to a certain extent but that doesn't mean I'm ever going to smoke again! It's one of those things...no matter what other people do, smokers, non smokers, new quitters, etc., none of it really matters to you. If you've committed to quit, your commitment is steel - you cannot possibly fail!

Bad news from the doctor for my husband.

Ah hell, tryagain, I wish we could all send virtual hugs your way. You're in everyone's thoughts. Be as strong as you can and when you can't hold back cry here if you need to - there are plenty of shoulders at the ready. All the best, T x [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 56 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,305 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �308 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 35 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

Horseback riding on the beach?! My all-time 'thing-I-really-want-to-do'. Count me in, absolutamente, si!

Deserve to feel better by now

You're never alone here, Audrey. The beauty of this group! It's near impossible to feel upbeat when you feel physically unwell. Be a bummer as long as you need to without guilt - you'll heal and get back to your cheerful self. I'm waiting for my own transformation so if I'm a nasty old grouch it's all for the vanquishing of old Nic. Keep the faith and pass me a tissue, I need to blow my nose again! ;) x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 54 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,249 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �297 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7

The Lord of the Rings (Director's cut!)........

Great analogy brent - I completely believe that yes, we DO need a Gollum to keep the edges of the 'smoke free' vision smooth. It's easier to slip if you don't have a very personal, very powerful motivation to stay kaput.

nicotine dreams

[quote] faith in our non-smoking self to deal with the issues of living. [/quote] That in particular struck me somewhere deep enough to ponder for a while. Excellent post as always, nonic.

Made it over that hill.

This post should be on 'perma-bump', 'uber-sticky', whatever it takes to make people read it. How inspiring.
