Hi evvybuddy! Well with everything that went on over the weekend...I nearly through my hands up and smoked a cigarette. I was walking through the hospital parking lot and a guy was sitting in his car smoking. He had the door open and the smoke was wafting out. I walked through the smoke and froze...I almost turned to him and bummed a cigarette. I was this stinking close ::holding thumb and forefinger barely apart:: but somehow I got through it. This is what my mind said, "With all that you have been through this weekend...one smoke is not going to hurt you. C'mon, this guy is more than willing to share. He probably just opened a fresh pack." I shook it off and continued walking. I'll admit that it wasn't easy.

Yay Nick!!! I have to admit I was wondering if you were able to get through the stress of all you had on your plate the last few days without smoking. Whether you realize it or not, you have just passed a MAJOR test. The old demon wants to tell you that a cigarette, just one cigarette (there is no such thing as just one) is your old friend waiting to comfort you just like it always used to. But that is NOT true, and big congratulations to you for fighting it down. You only thought it comforted you before, but you were actually just appeasing the withdrawal symptoms. That cigarette you almost smoked would not have been your friend, and you were smart enough to know it. Yay!!!

Good for you, Nick!!! I still have certain times when I ache for a smoke but it passes rather quickly. But I am still eating non-stop mostly just to have that hand to mouth motion. I've really got to stop that and I will soon. I hope. LOL

Nick, that's fantastic!! You are truly a non-smoker now! What's ironic of course is that worrying over your baby boy almost caused you to resume doing something that is bad for all of you, including him. But your strength and determination won, and beat the nasty urge. Be proud of yourself!

I mostly just lurk at TVCH but I have to say that when I read about the problems with Reese, I found myself feeling *fairly* confident that Dad would not find reason to smoke. I'm so glad that I was right! Keep it up! (One year, 3 weeks for me so I still remember early days very clearly) Joyce

What fortitude, Nick!!! Remember, as Juju always reminds us, there is no such thing as *just one* cigarette. Obviously, you are strong enough to keep that monkey off your back! Yay to all you quitters! You are doing so very well! Keep on keepin' on!

Slothie, I still find it hard to believe! LOL Thanks, Retired and Baby! I really have to thank all of our cheerleaders! You guys have been such great support! Sunday we are going to friends' house where both the mom and dad smoke like chimneys. They are not going to smoke while I am there and I'm taking them tons of mints and gum to persuade them to quit. Keep your fingers crossed! They both smoke in the house and have 2 kids there. Yikes!
