19 days are a lot. Don't give them back. You'll reach a day, in the not so distant future, where you experience a new freedom and a new happiness. Just hang in there.

Thanks for your help...I wish I could get out but I am at work, and this is where it gets to me the most. My bosses are on the roll today and I slammed with work.

I just breathed through it and did some preying. I got through...but man, that was the hardest one I have had in a long time....

What are you doing to combat this!

Use those mechanisms, go for a walk, clean or sleep..get out there and fight!

Drink some water or fruit juice to cleanse your mouth

Grab a piece of fruit or a veggie and munch away

You can do this!

Way to go, Shortcake!

Just take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time! Each time that nico-demon rears it's ugly head, just kick ash!!! All you have to do is get through one little crave at a time and each time you will become stronger! All you have to do is want it bad enough and it will be yours!

Good Morning everyone!!

I hope everyone had a great "Smoke Free" weekend...I know that I did. 8^) I really held on this weekend and gave the hell, hell right back! I am proud of myself...but again, I am back at work - my biggest trigger of all and I am fighting it full force. My lungs are burning and wanting that crap, but I am not giving in! No way jack! I have taken everyone's advise and "brushed myself off and moved forward"! I am happy where I am, and no matter how tough work gets today, I will NOT give in!! I am in control of me, not the other way around.

Everyone have a great day....

♥Quitters always win!!♥
