LOL, Bat...I know exactly what ya mean :-)

Superb job, Wendo. It seems to have gone so fast, hasn't it? And please, do tell, how often does the urge strike now? Bat and I are waiting with baited breath for your answer, LOL.

After 22 weeks, I still think about it at least once a day. But it's usually me thinking that I haven't thought about it.

Which is really thinking about it.

< spins head backwards >

For the most part, as long as I am occupied or chewing a Chiclet, a cigarette is the last thing on my mind.

But let me tell you - when I do think about it, or if I catch someone smoking in my rear view mirror, it's like Cornholio in search of caffiene.

I just look away and I'm over it.

Keep on breathing free, my friends!

LOL. You tell 'em, Half!

Hey! When y'all are still alive in five years from now, it will feel pretty good. AND you won't have any urges. In fact, it will all seem pretty preposterous that you could have had an addiction that absolutely ruled your life.

Yay Wendo! Yay Cassie! Yay Fruitbat! Y'all keep on keeping on!

Don't encourage her Juju. I do not know this Cornholio character but I do not need to, to see myself reflected.

LOL 1/2. Way to go Wendo on 90 days! That is terrific.

Fruit and Cassie, you two are doing great! I know it's still hard, but it will eventually get easier and one day you'll realize you can't remember the last time you thought about smoking.

Bat you'll be able to buy lots of guns with all the money you're saving on smokes.

Hang in, Bat, hang in. I haven't had a really bad day since Saturday. Keep on enduring, as Juju says.

Thanks guys. I am up to about 4 automatic super soakers now and I like that idea. A kinder more gentle bat approach.

i think about it everytime i see this thread. but then i think, gawd no ... i don't want that again! i go look at my checkbook and realize, i just bought holly a new suit, that would have been 2 weeks of cigarettes. my bp is now 135/80. it hasnt' been that in years. now i'm just about ready to hit the exercise thread. when holly gets back, we're going to start running (well she's going to run, i'm going to walk)

Dang, Wink beat me to it. I was going to say if you just put aside the money each day that you don't spend on cigarettes, very soon you can buy a very nice gun. And then I was going to go see if I had any spare ones to sell. I think I got rid of my spare Glock and my Smith and Wesson .357.

Yay Landi!!!

Aw gee Juju, don't let Unit know that! I We just got done paying for a Kimber. I ask... "How many guns can you possibly own?" I have learned the answer is "You can never have enough."

Ok. Taking gun (super soaker) by muzzle and swiping, hoping to get a hit upside someones skull. A suit costs $10?! Juju, you got rid of a Glock?! I have to go to bed now, this is all too much.

Oh dear, I am worried about Fruitbat becoming irrational. <sends Fruitbat over to the math genius thread> Cassie, send her that gum QUICK!!!

GuM! Not gun!

Yep, Fruitbat, got rid of the Glock. The Beretta was WAY better. I actually shot pretty good with the Beretta.

I hope everyone is doing great as ever!!

Cassie, that is terrific!!! I was seriously worried about you this morning when I saw how long it had been since a post. I am SO glad you are hanging in there. It should get progressively easier for you from now on. You should be close to over the really bad times, if not over them for good.

Yay Cassie!!!

Bat, I hope you have managed to hang in there. The early days really are the worst, and I hate to think of anybody having to repeat it.
