It's been 10 weeks now since I stopped smoking! I still get a craving now and again when I smell a ciggy but for the most part I am able to ignore it. At least I don't walk around all day thinking about it any more! I think in the last few weeks I have reached a break-over point. I went from thinking about smoking "just one" to not thinking about it at all! WOOT! I really hope this is it for me!

Luz and I have never been together without my smoking habit. She has always told me she likes my natural smell. I hope she still thinks that when she gets a whiff of me "au natural". We shall see.

Huh? I wasn't b!tching! I was cracking up. . . I've never seen you two do that before so I couldn't have developed a radar, but I often laugh when I see Alex and Rey post back and forth, that's why I giggled and posted about it.

k I appologize then. It's just that I avoid posting too much on OT, because Charles and I wind up talking to each other, not on purpose, it happens. He's at work and I'm home. We're both bored. And 'last time this happened we had a bunch of people jumping on us like we're here just with the intent to irritate them.

So anyway, back to the topic, could you tell us if you used any help like those patches? Nicoderm or something?
