Yet another way the addiction seduces you into thinking it's OK to smoke. You can't see the damage to your internal organs as it accumulates over the years ?

I bet she's proud as Fukc that her Mommy has quit those cancer sticks, although, she'll never openly admit it because that's how teenagers roll Yet another reason to stay quit Jo!

Great Work M5!! Even though you have I;m sure had your struggles, just as we all do, you have been steady as a rock in your determination to quit and stay quit. You've also been a regular contributor here since the start. I'm really happy for you and proud that you have managed to craft this great quit. Be sure to celebrate in some way then .... carry on to 8

Heading out to the Sat. morning farmer's market to get some fresh veggies & spuds. Love this time of year when you can get freshly grown & picked stuff. Probably do up a nice BBQ tonight and "Pig Out" so to speak Going to be the last weekend for awhile where I'll be able to just relax so might as well take advantage of it. Weather's fine too with the humidex hitting around 40C and no rain in the forecast.

Well, Great Job by the substitute teacher I say!! Not only did he get himself out of a potentially very uncomfortable teaching moment he made his alternate lesson really count by ensuring it impacted the students. Really great idea to have something a little edgy to show a group of kids that age. Makes them engage with the subject matter a lot easier. Well done sir! When I went to school, a substitute teacher would just come in and assign a reading lesson then more less baby-sit us.

I hope the interview goes well for you. Usually those things are more how you mesh with the people conducting the interview, assuming all candidates would have the same relative skill sets. It's hard not to be nervous of course in this situation but, you sound like you're in a great position no matter what happens. This might be a great opportunity but, it may not even appeal to you once you get all the facts. I think you'll do just fine and can go in there with calmness and confidence knowing it's not something you NEED but rather an opportunity you might want.

It's not that surprising really because most of us saw having a cig as a reward for whatever. We're all humans as as such, rewards are important in making ourselves feel better, even when we feel good because of other events! Feel sad - reward yourself to feel better. Feel happy - reward yourself to celebrate the happy event. Feeling anxious - reward yourself by disengaging from the stressful situation for a bit. That's the part of quitting that takes the longest. Breaking those invisible associations our brain makes with the act of smoking. And yeah ...... you used to feel great lighting up a smoke in celebration of something but after this many months of abstinence, you'd probably choke and near puke after your first big drag on that first bad boy. Now's the time to form some new associations in terms of rewards when something great happens. You'll just have to consciously think of what that should be for a little while until it becomes second nature to you.
