It is kinda worrisome seeing quitters quit quitting...though I can definately see how it could happen.
I think we should all undergo hypnosis to pound the fact into our brains that "just one" does not exist.
I must admit that I find myself thinking every now and again that "just one" will be okay; that I have proven to myself I can quit; that it will help get me through this bad news/bad day/fight with fiancee/drinking with friends.....it sure SOUNDS like my voice saying all this........
I have read and read and READ about "just one" being a step onto a slippery slope, though, and remind myself of this every time I get those crazy "it's okay - just one" thoughts...so I agree Bubba...preparation and knowlege together with WANTING to quit are key to quitting.
Gotta go home now. Just wanted to babble a little...

Thanks Brent - I tell him he's a lucky guy all the time!!!!
Thanks Casey!!
Aunt Sissy - always a pleasure!! I'm glad you have those anger issues under control, and I envy your lack of cravings!! I tried to get Ryan to just go to Cuba or something for the wedding, but he wants all our family and friends to be there...I guess I do too, but I'm just not good at planning these things!! Lovin' the stats!!
Fish - you should be a breaker too...you quit in December!! All you have to do is go through our rigorous initiation involving a black cape, a spoon and a big fat worm.....kidding!!!
Gotta go home now

Aunt Sissy - lol - no, i didn't ask your husband to go to Cuba with me... :p It is kind of wierd though that both our guys are Ryan...
fish - I hereby dub you an honorary Holiday Breaker (though we appear to usually drop the "Holiday" from our title now...) :8|:
Penquin - congrats on 8 weeks! that's a great landmark...I'm two weeks behind you, which seems like a great deal of time right now, but won't seem as big a gap in a couple months, right!!?? Here's a torch, lead the way!!
Night all

So - today i stepped down to stage 2 of the patch...so far so good...doesn't really feel much different to me...
Lori - I think I am going to do basically the same as you...I may do this week on step 2 then week after on step 3, then hopefully I'll feel ready to take it off and go without...I will probably keep the gum with me in case of emergency too...
I am a legal assistant!! wierd the similarities within our group...
