April Ashkickers 2

OHHH Sparky, that's awful, a sunburn is so painful. I'm a little jealous though that you had good enough weather to get one! Try a baking soda bath, it's very soothing.

160 smokes unsmoked!

I cannot believe I haven't smoked 160 cigarettes! That is mind-boggling to me. I keep imagining this huge ashtray, overflowing with smelly, gross, disgusting butts & ashes & it seriously nauseates me. I can't say I miss a single one of them.

I've always wondered about this

That is so funny!!! I could never smoke with gloves on either, it made them smell. Never mind my coat, clothes, hair, whatever.

when your happy and you know it, clap your hands

EXACTLY! & that's why this one is easier & is going to be successful for me. I don't have to deal with all the misery by myself & don't have to feel bad for being crabby with the people around me, who sdon't understand. I just hang on till I can come here & get a shot of positive or I read some of the stuff I've printed or even just remember some of the inspiring, funny, positive stuff I've read here & I can carry on. Twist & shout, I DON'T SMOKE, I DON'T SMELL, old addiction go to H***!!!

I've always wondered about this

So do you think that people who did have trouble in those situations were more physically addicted, or does it have more to do with individual triggers, or both?
