Driving range?!

Now there is a good release ... Wacking the snot outta that wee little white ball. Wow, that is grand that you are able to be around all that temptation. I can't imagine it yet....Hopefully at 9 weeks I will feel different.
You keep on keeping on! This wreck feeling will past

temptation all around all the time...its a choice i'm making every day,yesterday ,today etc...through the tears the heartaches and what not's...

I went to the driving range with a smoker friend yesterday...hm no i did not cave...no i did not smoke....i did however roll one around between my fingers to see how it felt...and well it was odd the feeling in all honesty...tried to get a hold of what i used to feel...and i couldn't...i could have taken the next step and lit it however i didn't want to and i didnt want to throw away my 9 weeks 2 days lol

i like what you say doc...

I dont conform easily to societal rules and such on how to live same went for the patch...i used a 21 mg the whole time....when i want to cut down i cut the 21 mg in half then quarters then in 8ths....im officially off the patch...no wonder im a wreck...

I applaud everyone for fighting the good fight. I lost my father to lung cancer, and ever since I always try to help people understand you being here is worth more than you wanting to light it up.

Much respect!

Thank you for the support. I am sure you know that it takes more than knowing.... That is the hardest part. My daughter would frown and sigh, every time I would go back to smoking. This is the last time I am quitting.

WooHoo for you, 3 days off the patch.

I love to golf. I just wish I had started sooner. I hack up the course pretty bad. I haven't golfed in almost a month. I play on a ladies league every Monday. My next outing will be on June 20.....I have never golfed without smoking between tees...

I hope you enjoy golf. To me it is a nice relaxing, albeit at times cause of much angst, great time. The plus is that I was only one of 3 smokers in the league, so I will request a non smoking group for this Monday. After that, I am sure I will be fine

I personally beleive your going to be fine anyway....

i believe you have a different mindset this time and that is why it is going to work for you...

PS you do not have to change groups or the people you hang out with you have to change you one day at a time...one step at a time...the only person you can change is you...if you enjoy the group your with i say stick with them...

I really am not changing anything. We are a group of 24 and groups are different every week so everyone gets to be with everyone at some point during the season. I know me and I have a very addictive and routine driven personality....It isn't the nicotine that drives my cravings to smoke. I am very visual. I see it, especially when doing something that I always do...Retraining me isn't the easiest thing for me to accomplish.... Very "who moved my cheese?!" thing

Probably why I am single
