Thanks Bob and vaslim - yes I'm ok now. I didn't smoke and I am fixing me some fish and succotash for supper. Addiction is no stranger to me. I weighed 261 in 1980 ( 130 now ). When I lost weight I took up drinking way too much. I quit drinking and upped my smoking by at least 50%. When I read another's post - I forget his name but the poker guy - about addiction simplified I had some mixed feelings. With my history what I know now is that my brain is hard wired to be addictive. If I can get my hands, face, or feet on it I can get addicted to it, lol. Seriously, for me I just have to find other ways to keep that part of my brain occupied. It's hard and I can't do it alone or by pretending I am just fine when I'm not. Mostly, I am! I'm optimistic. But those dark days come for me just like they do for us all. And I thank you for being here.
Hugs,

Joyce

Hey Easter Chicken

I agree with Sparky! You deserve a most uplifting thread award!!

Do chickens get pedicures

I can't visualize a chicken having a pedicure

. But anyway, Sparky and I want to give you a

gift certificate for a pedicure! Maybe we should ask Isabella where does she gets her

You made my day friend!

Hey Joyce

Good for you and for your friend who lent her ear for support. I had sorta the same thought process going on today, I thought well if I hid one pack and just smoked one every now and then, it would be ok. I ended up just having to get in the car and leave for a while. I've chewed gum until my cheeks are starting to ache! I'm ok now, how about you??? Hope you are hanging tough!!

You are doing great joyce.....we all had those feelings and thoughts........

Your friend is a good one......she seems bound to help you. .......

I can only say "been there-done that"........but I'm just too stubborn to let the addict win!!!

I love being in control of my life now.....not a slave to a nasty cig and a user of a nasty drug.

You can do this .....just like we are.;;;;;

huggggg

Bob

This is just way too funny or maybe just right for me today. Rough morning. I wanted to ask the gardener if he had a cigarette ... then I thought of just one pack, secretly smoked in the bushes outside, poor things ... then I remembered that one pack for me leads to three then to twenty ... more is never enough for this addict. So I called my friend and she talked to me for an hour. She asked where my suckers were and I told her they were in a bowl on the coffee table. She asked where I smoked and I told her - so now I have suckers in every room of the house - and one in the bushes, just in case

. And now I'll spend some time with ya'll! I gonna try to find the pledge page now.

Hugs,

Joyce
