Hi XT!!
You have officially completed Hell Week! Now you are on Heck Week!
You are nicotine free right now! And you only have the mental addiction to nicotine and sickorettes! So hang on. I'm also experiencing the same! I feel proud of myself! I havent avoided my smoker friends; I just look at them ant say to myself: Poor friend; she is an addict and in need of a nicotine fix! I'm really happy I don't need the fix anymore!
It's all about attitude! We are not leaving our best frien behind; we are breaking apart of our worst enemy!!!! We broke free from our enslaver; the one that want's to take everything from us, even our life!!!!
Keep your quit my friend!!!! It get's really better!!!

XT, congrats on 9 days smoke free!  You're doing great!  Glad to hear that you were able hang out with co-workers and not give into smoking.  Even if you are a distance away, you're still out there!  Isn't that a wonderful feeling?  Keep taking it one day at a time.  Soon you'll be done with Heck Week!  Keep feeling great!

Thanks for the confidence and belated post.
 
I wanted to tell everyone how my 1st day back at the cancer shack went yesterday. It started with walking into the Mill and sucking in all the wonderful chemicals from the past; however, this time it was different as I even stopped and talked to a few people I use to smoke with. Actually, I was proud of myself as I could go outside with the smokers (a distance away) and still talk to my friends, but without smoking.
 
I must admit there was a few times when my brain said; "OH HELL" SMOKE THAT PUPPY! -but- I did not....
 
Chewing gum really helped as it satisfied my oral fixation. Whoa! I have to watch how i use that word (oral) and (fixation) in the same sentence.
 
Nevertheless, I am still here (SMOKE FREE) and FEELING GREAT!

XT.
Dude.
Sorry I'm so late getting here -- I was kinda wrapped up in my own quit stuff, but I got here.
You are hilarious, and I so want to get to know you.
You got your like 5th and 7th and 9th steps by now, but how about an 11th step:  The affirmation that you'd rather be a non-smoker who occasionally wants to smoke more than a smoker who always wants to quit.
 
Dude, we'll get there together.
