Monica,
You go girl! I'm so glad you hung in there. Better start shopping for a bathing suit- your beach trip is right around the corner!
Have a great day!

Mercy,
Thank God you stopped smoking, must of been much easier to run from that earthquake with healthy lungs!! And by the way I think my exercise shoes weigh 3 lbs.. Honestly though, glad to hear weight gain is not an issue for you. Have a great weekend!
Dupe :)

Amenna,
For long trips I carried baby carrots with me and "pretended" to smoke them (others here recommended straws or Twizzlers). I too smoked while I was driving out of habit. For short trips I sat on my left hand (the smoking hand)- that may sound silly but it worked. Now I just get in the car and go, with no worries about whether I have my smokes, my lighter, did I get ashes on my dress pants, oh no it's raining and it will splash in the window when I smoke, oh no it's freezing cold and the heater is not warm but I gotta put the window down to let the smoke out, etc. etc.
Good Luck!
Dupe

Jan,
I think what you might be craving is a memory. We tend to remember the good things and not the bad. I think back and remember my hot morning coffee, sitting back lighting that first smoke, letting it fill my lungs sweetly and feeling sooooo relaxed. But in reality my coffee was lukewarm because I had to get the kids up and going, I sat on the cold cement steps in our garage to smoke, and I usually coughed with my first smoke of the day. Memory and reality tend to be quite different. Just a thought. Have a great day.
