I suppose...

That's the best idea I've ever heard. See you on the 18th!

Damn straight skippy.

According to Joel at whyquit.com (please check him out!) it's actually an acidic urine thing. I don't think we need to know anything more about that. But Marti's spot on about everything else. And like her, I'm a much calmer ex-smoker than I ever was as a smoker. We'd all love to hear how you're doing!

Actually, I promise you the opposite. Some days will be worse than the one before. On the whole, however, Petra is right. Much as it pains me to admit it. Welcome to the Train.

On the right day, by accident...

Me too. Just don't ask how long it took me to even try.

Great post, especially that bit. Noobs take heed, it works!

I'd tell you not to quit your day job, but honestly, maybe you should.

Of course it makes sense, but maybe not quite the way you see it. You're not "confused", you're conflicted - your rational mind knows you shouldn't smoke, but your addicted junkie lizard brain is throwing a tantrum, and now that you've given in once it expects to keep on getting its way. I mean, you've already bought your own pack... if you were still "on the fence" you could've just nicked some more from dear hubby, so I think you've kind of made that decision already, like it or not. That lizard might be stupid, but he can read you like a book. Anyway, you can't have your cake and eat it too, you know that. As long as you keep listening to what your {lizard} brain is telling you, you'll keep smoking, and being angry and confused. Or you can decide who drives the bus around here, and tell that jerk to shut the hell up, and do it NOW before this gets worse. And it will.

Anyone else get the impression bakon spent too much of his childhood on the wrong side of a clubhouse door?

Well hey, speaking of climbing a mountain...

Tell it to Schrodinger. (This thread is aptly named).

EXACTLY this. I've said it before, you don't have to DO anything, you only have to NOT do something - smoke. That's it. I think this is a crucial realization, and I couldn't be more happy for you.

It's funny Karen, I was just feeling the same way about you - that I wondered how you were doing, and felt a bit guilty for not checking in more. But like others have said, that's just how it is sometimes! Anyway, please don't ever doubt you're a part of the community, and you keeping quit and paving the way for others is how you pay your dues. My day? Got up early to drive the girlfriend to the ferry where she promised me breakfast, but turns out you can't get to the food court without a ticket, so I drank vending machine coffee and came home to play on the computer and stuff. Good enough!

I didn't see my name in the title. <_<

so, minigolf?

Pretty sure that was Petra. Anyway, I am blaming Petra.

OK, so *NOW* can I get a little peace around here?

Cleveland rocks. Ohio!

Mr. Speaker, I yield my allotted time to the fine Member from Chattanooga. It's yours Boo.
