Jack 1664 - tomorrow marks your 3 month quit anniversary. This is a big achievement being 1/4 year quit. Stop by and let know how you're doing. Maybe pass on some tips to the newbies as to what challenges you faced and how you battled them. Congratulations on getting to this big milestone!

The movie - true. The puzzles False. NP is allergic to something.

Nice scenery and I bet it was fun too! Way more fun now that you can take clean air into your lungs! Good thing you got that done earlier this month too as it has suddenly turned rainy, windy & very cold at least where I am. You got that one in while the weather was still good :)

Yes - turning into a can't miss watching a game series which is good no matter who takes it. It would really do this one justice to have it go to a game 7. I think I can do 2 more day after "zombie" work shifts. Have all winter to sleep :P

Happy Birthday Fay!

1:40 AM and it's Houston going back to LA up 1 game. I'm guessing Houston will be putting in the Big V to pitch next game to try and close out the series! Will it go to 7 games tho?

NOPE! NP wears glasses.

Not sure why I'm sitting here at almost 1:00 AM watching this game that is now 12-9 for Houston but I just can't stop now. Only an inning to go!

NOPE!

NOPE!

I was the executor of my sister's Estate when she died a couple of years ago. She was a huge smoker and and alcoholic as well. I had to sell her house and when I went there to get it ready for sale, I found that she apparently laid in bed and smoked all the time because her bedroom was even worse than the pic. you posted. I was horrified when I saw it yet I was a smoker then too so I guess I just justified it by blaming it on her drinking. She couldn't stop smoking because she was an alcoholic. I wasn't an alcoholic so it wasn't a problem that I smoked. I could smoke as much as I liked as long as I didn't drink on top of the smoking :) Junkie thinking at it's most creative!!

Glad you made it through Jess. You KNOW smoking would only deflate you and put you back to square 1. We don't want that do we? You are stronger that this evil nicodemon and you CAN beat it! You are still on the roller coaster part of your quit. Things will look brighter tomorrow so hang in there. It does get easier with time if you just stick with NOPE!

IGT - try and focus on the really great thing you are doing for yourself in quitting smoking for good. Some of those people you mention that are around you at work probably can not help themselves or choose not to depending on their afflictions but YOU are making the choice to live a better life and free yourself from this horrible addiction. That is something to really celebrate. Focus on the positive change YOU are making in your life :) The short fuse is unfortunately part of the territory as we adjust to living life without smoking. It takes a while but it DOES happen and your temper will eventually adjust back to the what it was before you quit. Always remember; the challenging issues we experiencing while quitting are temporary but the benefits last for a lifetime :)
