Cough & Post Nasal Drip

Hi Calli,
Good work on the quit! 
You are doing great.
 
That didn't happen to me...just the dry cough.. but I had some very bad tasting sinus junk (oh this is gross) that expelled itself. Someone here said that the mouth and sinuses make a layer of mucus to protect delicate tissue from cigarette poisons. Didn't last two weeks though.  The tea and steam should be helpful too.

Just say HOPE..oooop.... I mean NOPE! Our new president is trying to quit

Hi Ms, 
 Ha ha, wouldn't that be something? Good idea.
We would never know it's him until he starts asking us for donations.
lol
 
Guess I've been watching the news lately and putting my new nonsmoking self into the situation.  Such as... 
the jet that went into the Hudson.  Now could you imagine standing out there on an airplane wing and wanting a smoke? or maybe getting on dry land and that overwhelming urge to smoke but you are in a nonsmoking rescue station.
 
What I DO know is that I am so freakin' happy to not be a smoker and trying to figure out ways or wheres to smoke!!!!  This truly is a life of freedom!  We do find that out at some point and it's like a big stone being lifted off.
 
So now I can be president or in a water ditching and not have to worry. lol

HP

oh duh, I guess my smokes would have  sunk with my luggage.  Hahaha.  Even worse... I'd have run back in to get them.
 
Astro, that is pretty darn funny. Yes, lean back and have a smoke. lalala
 
Marple - Have some faith... if I were president, I would declare all calorie counts be taken off packaging. There would be a national See's holiday.  And free liposuction health care. 
 
Oh, that Hillary. There was a shot of the White House, there is a balcony on top with potted trees. I'd be up there sneaking one.

You Made It Jay

Jay,
Congratulations on making it through the first week!
I sure have a lot of admiration for you. 
While the rest of us are at home in cozy house whining away, you are fighting for that quit on a crazy schedule and 
away from home.  Sounds like you know how to get it done.
 
Keep up the good work!
Best,
HP

Time to admit it

Lisa!
I am soooo happy to see you again. You were very much missed by me and so many others! 
 
I'm even happier to hear you are back with us on the 25th. You can do this. Don't be hard on yourself, you are back up on the horse and we are all going to help keep you in the saddle :)  You will always be special to me, we were close in quits and you always had a cheerful word for me and everyone. Keep the positive spirit! You got a long way last time.. this time you can do it for forever! 
 
Welcome back, dear friend. Stick by and post, post, post!
 
Best,
