You have to be careful substituting other things for cigarettes .. What if every time you wanted a butt you had a cup cake instead ..

But another day, smoke free. I hope all are dong well! Stay strong, fella's.

Other than 1 7 hour period where alcohol was involved (2 weeks ago), I'm at 6 weeks. And that ever so brief relapse sucked anyway....

SuperLoogieCrunchies are about done.

Having a couple commit lozenges per day but houdl be stopping those soon.

Still when I see someone smoking a Marlboro light I want to first bum one, smoke and savor it, than beat the crap out of 'em for being stooopid

Yep, hypocrite in the making

Anyway...cool thread and I will check in.

Oh yeah, the worst thing so far is my teeth and gums hurt like hell.
