Didn't smoke yesterday, won't do it today either! Your comment Eyja about going for a run made a light bulb go on. I know what my problem is. I haven't been able to excercise for 2 weeks because I've been so sick. I'm feeling better now and hoping to go back to the gym first thing tomorrow morning before work. Excercise is amazing. It's best natural "feel good" we can create for ourselves.

Joining you all today with support! Yes we can Ride the Wave and Ride out the Crave - Red says the craves only last 3 minutes! And they definitely get less frequent over time so that is the Good News here! So that may help psychologically Dori - Good on you for getting the pledge in here rather than lighting up! I am going for a run today and smoking will not be in the picture for me! NOPE works!!!

Excellent understanding of your emotions Workin' On It. That's great that you worked through that feeling without smoking and it's quite profound to come to terms with releasing your 'old friend' to the past. I don't quite know why I keep coming to pledge here - I don't think of smoking much at all anymore - but I know that when I make a pledge and keep it each day -I feel proud of myself for not giving in to those occasional triggers that inundate me from 'out of the blue' every once in a while when I get complacent. So I'm not going to smoke today - or tomorrow! NOPE works for me!

I was feeling kind of lonely just now and remembered how, in the past, I had referred to cigarettes as my "old friend." I no longer see smoking that way. I was still lonely while puffing, and probably more anxious as a result of the nicotine in my system. So I'm still feeling lonely, but I'm still not going to smoke today.
