thanks for the post mr. ed :) i, too, was in that position just last night. i used to play cards 5 nights a week at one of our local "establishments"...stopped when i quit because i knew the temptation would be too great. but i went back last night.
when i walked in, the initial smell was awesome...and i wondered if i'd have to leave early...but i popped a piece of gum and started playing. the invitation of the smell was short lived! the girl next to me was smoking, and i couldn't stand the smell or the smoke in my face....what a milestone!!!
through the evening though, the smell became less annoying...and ocassionally, even inviting. after 2 tournaments, i decided i had taken enough risks and left before the third one.
so here i am...proud of myself...and still not smoking! btw...i lost both games! lol

so i'm told that these little beasts are part of the withdrawal. anybody else plagued with them? and if so...what did you do for them? i figure i already own stock in orajel & h2o2...and that gets me about 3 minutes of no pain....with bubbles! so if anybody has any suggestions...i eagerly await hearing from you!
color me "OUCH"!

i think i remember reading this...but i'm not sure, and i can't get myself back to that point on the site...so could somebody please tell me if "dizziness" is a withdrawal symptom? it started yesterday, and it's really atypical...it doesn't happen when i'm rising from a sitting position...it's while i'm sitting. and it's really significant...not just a feeling of being a little lightheaded...but a feeling of "omg...i'm gonna pass out"~~~if this is a normal symptom...then i won't worry about it...so if you wouldn't mind... lemme know if i should worry or not....lol

thank you all so very much! the latest update is that i ate and ate, and ate some more! but i did not smoke. i also haven't thrown out the pack. i might. that's the best i can promise. it's sort of like...in another life i had...protecting my "right" to do the things i'm trying not to do. so that right is protected....but for the moment...i choose not to exercize it. i also know i'm flirting with disaster. but for now, i'll take a nap...can't smoke if i'm sleeping!
you have all given me a happy heart! ;)
