Yes- I was thinking about this eat chocolate or smoke.. I am putting the bag of goodies away for now will have more tomorrow.

I walked over from my office to the CVS.. I had no shopping list just wanted something really wanted a pack of cigarettes. This is what I came back with. 1 pack of twizzlers (just ate about 4) 1 pack of Brookside dark chocolate Acai with blueberry (trying this next) 1 pack of Brookside dark chocolate Goji with raspberry (maybe will get to this) 1 bag of tootsie roll loli pops The dark chocolate Acai is really good it is soft fruit flavored centers covered in smooth dark chocolate. onto the loli pop LOL- I don't eat crap like this but I guess I am now.

Hi Evelyn, Thanks for asking.. hope you are doing good :)

NOPE for today this is my pledge.

Doing good except I am a scatterbrain.. forgot my anniversary yesterday- really felt like a (jack a...) wanted to go buy cigarettes but I did not.

Hi Action, Hope all is okay.. I have heard from other people who quit that sometimes there is a cough for about 1 month after just your lungs trying to clear things up. Wishing you well :)

This is a good one- it has been 13 days and I still feel like I am missing something when I am walking out the door. Purse, phone, keys check.. cigarettes - no I don't smoke.

Ramble on Evelyn- I think this is how we make it through!

Great metaphor Love it!

I have to say I enjoyed smoking and if I only smoked 2-3 a day I would continue. I am not sure if it was enjoyment or being comfortable in my habit. I smoked Marlboro Menthol light- the light part was supposed to be healthier for me just like I drink 1/2 caff coffee. I was pretty much a chain smoker 4 packs for the weekend were needed. This is why I had no choice but to quit. It was getting out of hand.

I still think about smoking but it is getting less frequent. There are only moments here and there. My breathing is still getting better every day. I am wondering when the fight will be over and I can relax. I am still waiting also to feel normal again. This I am sure will take some time to undo 35 years of being abnormal. I am still very happy about my decision to be a non smoker I think I just have to get comfortable with this and learn how to snuggle up.

This is a report of your hell week I am thinking since it was June 8th 2013..anyway it is pretty accurate. Thanks for sharing!

9 months is Great! Congratulations! :)
