Great post Imallclear - It's a new world without that cloud of smoke........but what a great place to be - and what a great group we have to help us when we aren't sure that we like what we see!
I don't think anybody understands how much strength it requires to quit smoking unless they have done it...That means we are one amazing group of people!

You are making my day bright Imallclear! You passed with flying colors and your other posts today and yesterday shows a good deal of strength and direction on your part.
Hi Imallclear,
You done good! Hang on for the day, get busy and do some stuff. There will be bad day, you just dig your heels in and say no way. It will get better, just keep those smoking thought from entering your mind. A frying pan might do the trick ;) You are getting stronger and you have done real well these past 28 days.
Now come on we are going to get you past day 42 this time, ok ;p
Stickin
Thanks for making this a reality that we didnt' realize before (some of us anyways). So very true what you wrote!
Hugs
Kim

I would say that this is fairly significant, wouldn't you. A slump....Junkie Thinking....You definately need to be here right now...you're already scared. (Scared of driving in the front seat with me....I'm not putting the cruise on). Come on, you can get through this 30 day pit. Hang on....TIGHT.....Don't let go. I'm not letting go of you....you've got the directions!!!!!(Don't you?) You've come too far to turn back again! Come on Friend - put a smile on (even if you don't feel like it). OK, I'll go a little slower for you. Coffee, Tea, Pillow?
You are one step closer to never having to feel this way again.

You take your knowledge and you use it as weapon...you load it with your ammunition of positive thinking....you let the army of supportive quitters take your back....and you crush the addiction and move into the light of freedom.
