I'm so excited. It's 3PM and I have not had a cigarette today. Sparky, thanks for your firm words yesterday evening. I drowned them suckers and I did not buy any more today. I'm in for the rest of the afternoon and evening and will not have another. Yipeeeeeeeee!

Hope everything is going well for you. Yes sitting by someone who just came in from a smoke, icky!!! I had one sit by me at my Thursday meeting you could tell she had smoked all day. Grossssssssssssssss :eg: Sad part is she didn't even know she smelled, nor did I until I quit. Hang in there.

What hobby would that be that you are referring to? Man oh man, my brain is not functioning so well lately. I'm more than a bit spacey. Terry

Hi Terry, Hang in there. I was worried about the same thing, I was getting close to my quit day.. and thought how am I going to cut down. When I smoked.. I didn't get the "rush" or feeling from the nicotine.. just like inhaling.. air... so I worked with that. thinking why am I puffing on this. I had even planned on the "straw" if I needed it.. It is totally easy for me either.. but I take some deep breaths.. and think wow I can breathe easier. I tell myself how much better I can smell ..all the good little things. and I distract myslef. When I was cutting back, when I wanted one.. I would say.. oh in 5 min if I still want it I will light up.. put it off a little. Take Care and have a great friday!

My life these day's is pretty stress free including work because I try not to let things stress me out. There is really no sense in it, it doesn't do one good thing for anyone :) So when my friend died there was a total stress factor and it is gone now. My quit day is way too close. LOL Trying cut back way back today. Terry
