OK, I'm 3+ weeks into my quit, and right now I'm having the worst crave I have ever had. This makes the first few days look easy. What's going on? I'm just going to sit here and fight it until it passes and not give in not give in not give in.

Thanks,everyone. I just sat through that one, breathed, and got through it. My triggers are all relaxation triggers; I only smoked when I was relaxing, doing something I enjoy. I really, really am worried about when the weather gets better, because that's when I'll hit a bunch of triggers. It's one of the reasons I quit during the winter.
Guess I'd better have the Juicy Fruit handy.

Just checking in. real busy. Tutti, I'm so glad things are looking better. Yesterday I thought about you more often than I thought about having a smoke.
Buried under work, just wanted to say I'm smoke free. Back soon.

good playing Nursey, if I see a hot, non-smoking babe hanging around the pool table, I'll remember *not* to play any 9 ball for money...

Tutti, I am so relieved to hear from you. I knew that there had to be a lot of stress, and I'm glad that you have kept your quit going. You get through this, you get through anything.
Sounds like good news about your daughter. I've been sending out a prayer for you every day and looking for news from you. Big HUG from me. Stay quit.
Where's our other Feb quitters? Anybody heard from Changing?

Nursey,
I've been thinking about some of the same stuff...about being an anti-smoking ex-smoker. Like you, I never liked the uppity ex-smokers. Then I became one. Like you, I don't like having cigarette smoke around me. Like those fishermen I ran into. Man, it just stank! Thank goodness I was outside, I would have gagged.
Anyway, I now don't want smoke anywhere around me, and, frankly, I don't mind saying so. I think it's good to have attitude. To tell you the truth, I better understand why I didn't like uppity ex-smokers before. It was because I wanted to stop and I was pissed that they could do what I thought I couldn't and so I couldn't stand them being on that pedestal and showing off how much better they are than me (I am a legend in my own mind, you know).
So I'm not going to be in anybody's face about it and go around telling people they should quit. That's just rude. But I am being firm about my personal boundaries, and well, that includes not smoking around me.
Whew! Didn't quite realize when I began that all that was going to come out...
So what happened last night? Did you go?

Heads up!
Been reading around, seems like there's a bit of a glitch approaching the 100 day mark for a lot of people. Fill your water bottles, tighten your seat belts, have your coping strategies handy...
