Holy cow, I am munching everything in site. I just put in some popcorn in the microwave....I burnt it.....grrrrrr.. Good thing it wasn't the last bag! Of course when I went to put it in there, I found the cup of coffee I put in there to warm up a bit ago.....

ok this made me laugh out loud seriously, not because you burned your popcorn however because you forgot about a cup of coffee in the micro, i did that in my first month felt so lost all the time and because of feeling lost i started losing things ie ...warmed up a cup one day couldn't find my coffee knew i had it where'd it go ? was 2 days before i found it because i rarely use the microwave...imagine my laughter when i did...

this too shall pass just hold on on tight ok...

Your body is tricking you and so is your mind....fight it trick it back..."holler" if you need to eventually all this goes away...kick the "trickster" out of your
"house"

the trickster clearly being your "cravings" and your "house" being your mind..

Thanks so much for your insight. No matter how old someone is, it is always great to get another's support.

I just got home from my parents, Sunday evening and nothing to do....Boredom is another thing that use to trigger me smoking. I am fine, I will be fine and I don't need to smoke Stomping my boots....well, not really, took my shoes off when I got home

Y'all are doing brilliantly!

Go you gaea getting past using the patches.

I've had visual cues all weekend as I've spent time with two smokers. One of them is a heavy smoker and I've been breathing in her second-hand smoke whilst I've been teaching her things on the computer which has been quite unpleasant. Just that breathing in what has become vile tasting smoke has made it really easy to put any thoughts of smoking out of my head.

Don't give up giving up!

Good morning Incubus. If I remember correctly. don't you have COPD? I have a very good friend that has this and as a curosity we never smoke around her and if we even have sniffles of a cold, we do not go visit, it could be deadly to her. Small price for us to pay for our friend.

If it were me and I had that, I would certainly ask people to not smoke around me. I never have people smoke inside my home, even when I was smoking. I believe that they could abstain for the short time they are visiting or they could out to the back porch as I had always done.
Of course out in public, it is your choice whether or not to go into a place where there is smoking. Here there are more and more smoking bans so it is pretty easy to dine and do most things without having to deal with the smoking folks.

Please put you and your health first

i deal with visuals most days and mostly they dont bother me in fact ive started to look at what is odd about smoking, perhaps this way of thinking will help me on my journey....

being around it can trigger instant heart burn for me or not i think it depends on the brand...most brands i can handle they smell different as well...

when it comes to the brand i chose the scent is distinct and almost tempting and no heartburn occurs its really strange.

10 full weeks behind me as of today beginning my 11th....wow...go me...too
