AWESOME Jonny5!!! Congrats on not smoking and not drinking! I stopped drinking in February, and it has been just as awesome as quitting smoking! No more hangovers! It feels great! Great to see you too! You should swing by more often!

Congrats on losing a few pounds! That is always a nice feeling. And treats like that to ourselves are great! I'm looking to get a French Press coffee system for Christmas. I'll need like a tea kettle to heat the water, a new French Press and a system to get rid of the grounds easily. I'm seriously excited about the French Press because it seems so much cleaner and fresher.

Get through the craving without smoking, and they will get weaker and weaker. As long as you stay quit, they will eventually stop. Other suggestions: Take deep breaths, call someone, send a message to someone here, post an SOS, spend some time with your pet, clean out the fridge, take a walk around the building (if you are at work), do some jumping jacks, punch a pillow, take a shower, cook something, eat shelled peanuts, don't smoke. One more: Put it off, tell yourself maybe you can have one in an hour, then put it off again. One time, I really wanted a smoke. I was driving and wanted to stop at the gas station and buy a pack. I told myself to go to the next gas station to buy it, then the next one, then the next one. I drove into my neighborhood and was still craving pretty badly. I pulled over and logged on to the quit forum from my phone, just to check in and say hi. That worked - distracted me long enough to say, "Ok, I can go home now and not go to the gas station to buy smokes." That was one of my toughest moments, and I got through it. At a party do the same thing, tell yourself you can have one after the next glass of water, then after you go to the restroom, then after you say hi to your friend, then after another glass of water..... Try not to drink too much alcohol. A drink has killed many a fine quit, but at the same time, lots of peeps here have gotten smashed and still kept their quit and were pretty darn happy about it in the morning! Welcome, by the way!
