hahaha 2 Aww, Come on. I'm the nicest Chick on the train - you know it too!. :)

-1 We wouldn't want to tease him like that - let him think that Sticks actually win on occasion.

-10 That's an understatement! :)

-9 You'd miss me if I was gone too long, and you know it! :P

CONGRATS P&P!!!!! So sorry I missed the day! YAY YOU!!! :)

One thing that helped me a ton in my first several weeks of quitting was eating shelled peanuts. The process of having to take of the shell kept my hands busy, eating the peanuts kept my mouth busy. I am much more of a salty that sweet person, so I loved the salty crunch of the peanuts. I also liked Salt & Pepper Pistachios too. Yummy! and same effect of having to shell them. Chips and salsa was another "go to" snack - the hotter the better because I didn't like to smoke after eating spicy food. I'd come come to the Board & have a little snack, and was able to easily kill those cravings.

Welcome!!! Getting rid of the addiction is such a great feeling. You can totally do this. If you feel like you might want to smoke, come here and post first. Give that feeling a few minutes to pass. We promise that it will! There is a ton of valuable information here too! Read instead of smoking! :)

-7 Not here for long today, Miss Saz, but throwing in a few to start my day! :)

Welcome! yep - that Nikki is one mean B! Happy you are rid of her! I'm happy to be rid of her too. No one needs a B like that!

What a fun thread! I live in a valley with a lot of open space and hills around us. It is quite beautiful. This is a view looking west from the top of the valley. Suburbia is just down the hill 15 minutes - depending on which side of town I'm headed. Drive west a 1.5-2 hours, and you are in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains with so many beautiful mountain towns. Down side is everyone loves to go see those beautiful mountain towns and driving up there on the weekends is sure to have you caught in traffic, so when you come to visit me, we'll head up there mid-week. :)

Sounds like you are moving in the right direction! And we're happy to see you! My body problem is strength. I've become a total weakling. I keep "trying" to get back to the gym, but "something" always distracts. The lack of muscle in my body is really getting pretty sad. I really need to do something soon.

I think the sticks need your help, Duck.

-9 Don't get too excited, Boo. :)

I was just wondering how you were doing! Such great news!!! Keep at it and use the gum as you need it. Eventually you won't need it at all, but better to chew gum than smoke! So happy for you!!! :)
