    Good Morning Everyone!

    It's a hot one here. Sorry for being late! Today was the first school day and my middle one's first day of kindergarten. Makes life worth living! Took him to school and all the girls were swarming on him. That's my boy! I realize how much I could miss if I die. My dad died of lung cancer and he would have loved to have been there for this. Makes me even more committed.

    Got a good night's sleep (wierd dream since I was wearing the patch, naked at the Rublican Convention I think :D )

    Anyway, got through the morning cig moment. Can't say it did not cross my mind. But, it was much easier than yesterday.

    Will be getting gum and other non_sugar things today. Thanks for all the great advice everyone.

    I have to thank Hartamh and Jelli for all the good words and doing this so vocally with me. And thanks to all of you past and non-smokers who have been really vocal!

    Kcherub you can do it.

    Where are you other tryers. Let's here from you good or bad!

    When my gf and I quit in January she wore the patch for about 3 weeks and she had crazy "vivid" dreams. I think it actually said you may have vivid dreams on the box. I went cold turkey because I didn't smoke as much. Anyways... keep up the good work!

    True and thanks!

    So a weird mental association with smoking. I work in a trading pit on Wall Street. I've got one of those jobs where I rarely leave my seat. On the phone, Bloomberg, Computer, etc.

    So the only time I get out of my seat is usually to smoke or grab food.

    Got up to go to meeting and all of a sudden got very hungry and wanted a cig. Apparently I have to stay seated the whole day! :)

    As far as mood! Comparing yesterday to today is a joke! Feel good and keeping off the sweets has helped a lot. Chewing Sugar Free Gum and eating pretzels.

    How is everyone else doing Midday (or whatever time you are on?)

    I'm almost a day behind you guys (couldn't finish another pack by midnight :D), but I haven't had one yet today...had my last about 9 pm last night.
    Funny...i actually broke my last smoke! I was in a panic trying to find a rolling paper...it broke near the filter, so the last few drags were extra strong....a good omen - the last drag I took made me gag...nearly threw up.

    Had a killer stressful morning, want to rip a co-workers head off...keep watching the clock to see when it's time for a smoke :( ...I've also decided to quit coffee...and am contemplating a couple other vices that are nicotine triggers as well...we'll see. I wouldn't want to become too boring :)

    I’m on the patch…my third time quitting on a single box of patches :D sad, I know.
    Aaaahhhh….my post-lunch craving is in full effect right now. I always find the tricks my brain plays interesting….it really is like the angel/devil on the shoulder thing…little voices inside telling me I can’t do it, that I can have just one, or one drag…

    I'm happy too, thanks BD :)

    Don't worry, those voices are being Drowned Out by my will ;)
    They actually help a bit; it makes me angry about my addiction, which seems to give me fuel...

    We are having thread overflow

    ((((( This is the smoking thread people!! )))

    So on that note and getting back on topic, I am doing quite well! Can't leave my seat yet, but we are making progress.

    I haven't felt this good on getting through in a long while. I am picking up speed!
