Yay me! So what do I do about the odd urge I still have?

1. Glass of water and deep breaths! Congrats Chichiri.
I'm 24 hours and 35 minutes smoke free. Been a tough day.

5. Muchos gracias.
I'm really giving it my all this time.

Any ideas what to do this weekend with lots of partying? I'm afraid that I'm going to slip if I have even one beer. With lots of friends coming into town, it's going to be very hard. Fortunately, most of them no longer smoke.

3. Are you talking to me on a cellular phone?
I don't know you. Who is this? I'm hanging up the phone now! Prank caller! Prank caller!

7. I quit 4 weeks ago.
When I get the urge to smoke, I just don't. I do something else and the urge goes away. It only seems to last about 20 seconds or so. I can handle that.

8. Take a deep breath, hold it for a few seconds, exhale thru your mouth.
Pretend you're smoking pot. I'm cig free for 4 years in August! Hang in there - you can do it! And good for you!

10. Super cool. Pretty soon you'll notice how wonderful...
everything tastes. You'll smell things you haven't smelled in years. Eventually you may develop an aversion to the tar and nicotine that gets into your hair and clothing around smokers, I have.

hell! Call me weak, but that sucked!
