Thanks so much! Just what I need! I'll be printing that and carrying it with me wherever I am when I join the ranks of the recovering non-smokers Saturday. I'm going to use the crave (if I have any :) ) as a trigger to read Junkie Thinking instead of smoke.

The very first time i posted I sat here and ranted all my junkie thinking. It was so funny and members here RAILED ME! which was great. I was so full of crap. So here I am on day 34 battling my brain. thinking about smoking a lot. Well, i knew this was coming and I won't give in. Stay strong and i will do the same...

Good point. We can't always stop the internal chatter, but recognizing it for what it is lessens it's strength and duration.
