Cherie, there are lines in this thread's original post you must never forget. Print them out and carry them around with you, if you must. First the negatives: "...how bad the poison's taste..." "...that poison making it hard for me to exhale..." "...feel it burn my throat..." And now the positives: "...I can do this..." "...I'm going to be ok..." "...I'm beautiful..." (that's an understatement) Stay quit, Cherie. You owe it to yourself.

That's good John, I took a deep breath and exhaled nothing just lucky I only smoked a couple packs or I'd be back to 40 yrs. worth. I have my straws and I don't care if it looks like I'm doing cocain or whatever they do with it I just take a big drag and it's working. I have the cut straw in my purse, by the washer, on patio everywhere I ever smoked. I don't mind the vivid dreams now. In fact it's better than renting a movie.

But there was nothing....Huh.
