Mike,
  What a difference just a few months makes, huh. The way you handled things speaks volumes in itself and it proves that you have the upper hand. That's really great!

Hopefully its paper targets if you are going to shoot your pistal :-)  Yeah its weird for me to try to find something else to help me defuse because I used to reach for a smoke every time.    I still reach but there aren't any there and I say "duh"

actually a boxing bag is good thing to have for quitters.
i have one in my garage for exercise , and i used to pound on it when i had bad cravings.
it's great exercise and releases tension , plus it just makes you feel tough.

astrofan,
 
Water and carrot sticks are a great choice!
 
We're glad you were able to fight through it.

Hey Astro!  I know the feeling!! 

Glad to know that you will not smoke!!! Don't forget N.O.P.E.!

A pillow would be a good choice to beat the stuff out!!

At least you won't hurt yourself!!!
