Thank you so much for posting this Jim - and for sharing a 'clink' with me after work too
! I loved relaxing after work with a home brewed Oatmeal Stout served in a chilled mug. Yummy treat :) Thank you snice for the martini too :) It was great! And Yes, I had a real reckoning over these big round numbers on my quit meter Workin' On It. Thanks so much for your support.
I really appreciate your thoughtful responses Mach, Lolly, breather, Vincenza and Duffis

I did NOT smoke 10,000 vanilla (or cherry) tipped, slim, lady like cigarellos over the last 1000 days! Although I will confess to sucking the cherry flavor off the plastic tips of my hubby's cigars for the first few weeks after I quit, I did NOT light one up! Then one day, I stopped torturing myself by tempting fate and said my goodbyes to the cherry and vanilla tips altogether.
The nicest thing I have found in the last few months is to finally realize that I truly don't miss the cigars or their flavored tips at all anymore!
Also I enrolled in a continuing education course online and just noticed that my monthly cost for this 12 month program translates exactly to what I would have spent on smoking over the the same time period. That's the best gift I could give myself!
