Ladybugg... We have discussed this a lot haven't we :) I have come to a new conclusion since we last spoke. I think we need to remember where we came from. Those cravings in the beginning were just awful and we felt like we were going to die. Remember "Am I Mean" and the extra hand being raised in your house? (that made me laugh so hard) We have come so far since those days. Life is now a place that we don't smoke. We forget how horrible our days use to be. I don't know if the junkie thinking will ever go away completely but I am so glad it doesn't control me every waking moment of every single day anymore like it did when I smoked. If I send you my address, will you send me some pickles to smoke????

Ladybugg I really enjoyed reading your post here. I can relate to that feeling like something is missing, I forgot something, etc. Have you been posting here since your quit date?

~lbugg~ You made it through last smoking pickle season with lots determination. You'll make it through this. It will be so much easier. The next season will be even easier. Thanks so much for this post.

Ladybugg Thanks I really appreciate this post and the post you had earlier. I am just shaking my head wondering why I am back at how it was in the first couple of days, and I haven't smoked, not even near people smoking. So I will watch, and wait. Taking your example. Heck I might even go and find a couple of bushels of cucumbers, sure would pass the time Thanks Phillip [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 115 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,319 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $862.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43
