Yanks are in tough against the Astros who are no slouches so we'll see. Also interested to see how the layoff effects Washington. I'm surprised they have come this far. Idleness for more than a day or two in playoff sports is usually not a good thing for the mental game!

Why are there no polar bears in Antarctica yet there's penguins and why are there no penguins in the Arctic but there are polar bears. Seems to me the climate is similar in both places.

Oh my .... Deja vu with the last Braves Game but this time it's the Cards Wow! 7-0 top of 1st? I would have bet money that the Cards would have handled the Nationals. Nationals/Astros World Series? The big $$ advertising machine won't like that match-up

Nope!

I had a really stressful time about 6 weeks into my quit that really tested me. That was the last really big test for me. I mean, I had urges and what not after that but no real close call. You got through it and that alone will be there for you to call on in future. It's a good thing!! Sucks to have stress in your life but great to know you can get through it without even thinking about smoking - that's the silver lining to your dark cloud

Boy-O-boy you lot are a violent bunch

LOL - not likely. That's like saying a Met's & Yankee fan could call a truce

No sh*t eh? They look pretty like an oversize stuffed toy but they's nasty mo-fo's, especially when they're hungry and .... they're always hungry

Nope!

Fabulous news Juan!! Congratulations. Now, keep moving forward because things will only get better and better from here on. Stay strong and don't let down your guard. Being quit for life is your goal and you've shown you can do it

Congrats sir!

Congrats Vivianne! Keep it you're past hell week. Only better days to come!

Meanwhile, in Churchill Manitoba, a Polar Bear charges the pitcher's mound

Waiting for all my Canucks to show up so we can dig in to the massive eats! Guest of honour is here! The meal Desserts! The dreaded aftermath

Those early days are trying for sure but you CAN get through them. Since smoking is no longer an option, you just need to find another way through those difficult moments.They are tough for sure but they will not always be with you. Better days are in your future

OO

Maybe time to play Chicks or Sticks?

It was mere weeks ago that the chicks couldn't buy a win. Things can turn very quickly and unexpectedly around here

This statement is not only true but pretty significant because smoking used to be that excuse for me to spend time away from everything; people, problems, stressful issues etc. It takes time to replace that alone time with something more positive and constructive but it does happen. We all find ways to fill that void. I used to think smoking was my friend and trusty companion who never judged me, never criticized me but was always there as an excuse for me to break away from things. Now I know the truth. Smoking never did me any good at all for me in fact it kept me from finding positive ways to deal with life. Life is now so much better without "my friend"!
