Action is his reward
It's Day 7 without a cigarette, and I don't want to hear about the junk food, OK?Sure, I consumed three small bags of chips today, Miss Vickie's Black Pepper and Lime, if you must know (I just love that they have those here; seems Miss V sold out to some American company, but right now I'm glad she did!), and I know it's just substituting one oral fixation for another one, and I'm fine with that, so just SHUT UP!
That box of peanut buttered Ritz crackers? Ate the whole thing last night, while watching three episodes of 24. Season 4 is seriously lame, by the way.
X and I quit together, years ago. He used to say to people, I can never think of a reason why I smoke, until I quit, and then I know all the reasons. Maybe that's why I had a nightmare about him last night.
Just let me make it through this weekend, that's all I ask, and if I do, I'll tell you the story about how I took a drunk librarian home.

Good, good, GOOD for you! And I can't wait for the drunk librarian story :)
I'm not a fan of the cheese Ritz sandwiches. They remind me of a low period in my life (read: rock bottom) in which I snorted a line of the powdery cheese mix that comes with Kraft Macaroni. Peanut butter anything is okay with me.
I eat cinnamon bears. Of course, I ate them while I smoked, too, so...
You must survive. Drunk librarians trump all other concerns!
I'm proud of you for doing this - keep it up and with all the money you will save you can come visit me in BERMUDA !!!! love and supportive thoughts - Kay
1) Macs are life.
2) Did you know it's now just "Ask", instead of "Ask Jeeves"? I know. It made me sad.
3) Um. Hello Kitty? Um.
I always wanted to be a drunk librarian, but barring that, I'd probably settle for doing a drunk librarian.
Sparrow (I don't know how to do your symbol): Too bad the Ask Jeeves mug just blocks out the Tequilacon lanyard that's hanging from my lamp. And I love Hello Kitty, didn't you know? You should see my wallet. And my toaster.
Oral fixations are hard to kick. Take it from a food addict. One step at a time--get rid of the nicotine, then worry about the snacking. :) I'm rooting for you!
You are rockin' it! Yay YOU! Eat all the junk you want, it'll pass. Try rearranging habits that you associated with smoking (coffee, after meals, etc.). I'll try and remember the other things that helped me through. One day at a time, keep it up, it is HARD to do!
PS: Do you have a cassette player? I can make a copy of my hypnotherapy tape and send...
That is AWESOME!
Trying to quit smoking is hard, but worth it.
When I quit 12 years ago, my then boyfriend (now husband) and his best friend bought me packs of pencils and T-packs of spearmint gum. I held the pencils like cigs and chewed the gum.
Congratulations, and good luck!
