Thank you all for your replies :)
I read the post N2k and even took notes :) It will be a great help in the days to come, thank you. Please do follow my progress, the more people who hold me accountable the better. I can so much relate to the part about cutting back and how you are putting yourself in a constant state of torture and pleasure. What I'm donig now is holding off that cigarette for 15 min (I even bought a timer lol) and during that time I use my "healthier pleasures" like gum, candy, etc. and I tell myself that this is much more pleasurable than a cigarette and not to worry that for the next 18 days I can still have that smoke. I've found that the 15 min seems less and less all the time. At first 15 min felt like an hour and today it seems more like 5 or 10.

[b]Blow pop[/b] = lol its a big sucker with bubble gum in the center, but I can certainly understand the confusion
[b]Slim Jim[/b] = no one really knows for sure lol but its a kind of spicy beef stick
I really do feel good about this. I know that with your advice and your support it's possible. I'm craving that positive number on my meter more than I am craving a smoke now and thats the best feeling in the world :)
