Congratulations on your courage and good sense, O B. You are now a non-smoker. You already smell better to others, and you can taste and smell better as well. You can run upstairs without puffing or coughing. Your lungs are starting to expand, greedy for fresh air.
Best wishes O'B and squinney! THE DAY HAS ARRIVED!
And it's one, two, three
What are we smoking for
Don't ask me don't give a damn
Offer me cigar I show you where to cram
I stopped over at Bill's last night, to offer him encouragement with his smoking cessation plan. He seemed confident, almost boastful.
"I'll tell you what, Gus", he said, "I've been smoking for over twenty years, but no way in hell can cigarettes control me! I'm the boss! I quit tonight!"
We parted ways and Bill looked his normal self...
This morning I stopped in to check on Bill. He opened the door and screamed...
"GIVE ME A FRIGGIN' CIGARETTE, RATZENHOFER! NOW!!!!!"
i suspect Bill was just 'pulling your leg' Gus;
oh, he was trying to rip your pants off, to get at yer fags........
just talked to squinney. 24 hours. no cigarette. She is a bit curt however.
she just needs a 'virtual hug' from the Bear! :wink:

she'd probably just prefer slapping me hard in real time
a little "S & M" between consenting adults?
who am i to interfere?
12 hours, 26 minutes behind me. As I suspected, so far it's just the annoyance of not doing what I want that I feel in airports. For the time being, it is a constant gnawing and I suspect that those are easier to contend with than sporadic spikes. I haven't eaten yet today, I hate my telephone and I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to drive. Sex is out for the next few days at least.
I am a bit uncomfortable, but if this is as bad is it gets; I am proving that I've been a complete moron for over a decade. How pathetic.
BBB, I plan to scrub my home, car, clothes etc. in hopes of removing the smell. Having smoked 20 years, it will take some time before the olfactory really kicks it in high gear anyway.
Gus, you are Gus.
Kicky, you disappoint me. Never too late to change your mind. At least join Jer and you guys should settle on a date.
Go Squinney! Good Job Girl! Go! Go! Keep up the good work, you vanguard you!
It just dawned on me
I've already conquered the rest of my bad habits, unless you count coffee. I'm keeping coffee, damn it!
Note to self
I said NO, Damn it!
Bill; the gods are smiling upon you (in spite of the fact that i don't believe in them - damn fools) but more important, i have every confidence in your ability to apply Will to Bill
just one little letter, now that shouldn't be too hard; now if i could just stop craving those cakes.............
Ever seen yourself as a 'role model'?]
No don't eat. Unless it's something like sunflower seeds in the shell that keep your hands and mouth busy. As you know otherwise, eating always triggers the desire to follow up with a cigarette. (That's why smokers resist going to restaurants where smoking is not allowed.)
And I do believe in those gods and yes they are smiling
Think of it as being tortured as a prisoner of war and you're tough enough to defend motherhood, apple pie and the American Way for at least seven days. (That worked for me. I'm really not saying it is for everybody.)
Pulling for you though friend.
Thanks BGW. Wasn't it you who pointed out earlier that my name breaks down to WILL I AM? I like that, thanks again.
I'll eat soon enough Soz. I'm sure you can guess what my "I'm full" mechanism, eh... used to be... Foxy hit it on the head... but no worries. I have too much support to fail. You guys Rule!
Thanks again everyone.
OB
OB, I quit smoking cold turkey when I was pregnant with my daughter, I found that drinking lots of orange juice helped for some reason, don't know why. Being pregnant surely helped to quit. Can you get yourself temporarily knocked up?
BBB
But you gotta eat eventually!! Seems like being starving on top of everything else is a bad idea.
But I've never smoked so I'll keep my yap shut. (Sum total of smoking experience is when we decided that my mata-hari-ish spy character in a student film noir HAD to smoke, and I very unconvincingly dangled a lit one from my lips.)
Go Bill go Squinney!!! (Msolga?)
Dys
Dys, are you paying attention to Squimmy's and OB's example?
BBB
No worries Soz; it isn't even unusual for me to have not eaten at this time of the day. Breakfast is an event, not a habit, and I typically eat lunch when it's convenient, if it's convenient. I'm not starving.
I think getting knock up is out.
(Especially since I'm practicing abstinence)
Bill, why are you smoking that cigar?
