-7 Ha,ha,ha ...... he calls me "squealer" I'm so honest - lol

-7 Where's Bakon at. He could jump these numbers to +9 in a heartbeat

^^^ I heard something on the car radio today where they said; "The only remaining question is, will it be Happy Eagles Fans or Sad Eagles Fans that burn the city of Philadelphia to the ground tomorrow night after the game " I didn't know what they were talking about but I guess there must have been some unruly behavior after the game against the Vikings?

I don't follow the NFL much but it seems to me that in a BIG game like this, pretty much anything can happen. I guess that's true for most games but, the surprises seem to come out more often when the stakes are high. I don't think anyone would deny that Brady is a force to be reckoned with. An amazing athlete to be still doing what he is after so many years playing. There won't be another like him for a long while I expect. Even a football moron like me knows that. And by the way, why do they start this thing so late (at least in my time zone). Could they not play it on a Sat. when we don't have to get up at 6:00 AM to get to work the next day? Geez!! I need my beauty sleep

Not a Newbie but .................

^^^ Yes JB - we are all different in how our minds react to quitting this very powerful addiction but no matter what YOU personally experience I can tell you for sure, there is no free ride or even a cheap ticket for anyone on this train. We ALL pay our fare at some point and in some way. Some make it and others fall away. There are reasons why in each case I suppose. The thing I can never understand is after having been at this for 2, 3, 4 or more months, why oh why would anyone throw all their effort away for just 1 smoke?

YAY!! Way to go! Bet you're really proud of yourself JKPK and rightfully so. That 1st month is really hard work. Be sure you celebrate in some way to acknowledge this important milestone. You have a great base now for your permanent quit High-Five!!

^^^ Yes, actually A LOT of people reduce or eliminate their alcohol intake for at least the early part of their quit because they fear it will reduce their will power to stay quit. Perhaps if you're an addictive personality, quitting smoking might cause you to increase your participation in another addictive vice but for most normally adjusted people - I don't see this happening.

I'll get back to you .... sorta busy at the moment.

I don't know .......... Eagles look tough!!

Keep your quit while you are gone! And, won't it be nice to not have to deal with traveling and trying to squeeze in smokes along the way?

NOPE!

How was your trip? (I'm jealous by the way)

Thanks P .............. I'll save you a seat here on the Lido Deck. You'll be here soon enough

Fabulous post Martian5 and everything you stated is bang on normal for your 1st month quitting. Really impressed with your understanding of what you are going through and how to handle it. You're doing great. You have been a regular contributor here too which I personally think helps. In my own experience, I found this connection to be even more important in the months after my early quit. Once the excitement of my new quit had wore off. By the way, keep an eye peeled to the Celebration thread on Feb. 4th then for Octain on Feb. 5th. We'll through you both a party

+1

NOPE!
