Good advice, Texican. I don’t think I’m ever gonna want one anyway. But the weight thing is a major concern for me. I can’t spare to gain much more.

I spent the day at the zoo (yay for free day!)with my chain smoking friend, and didn’t even think about smoking. I am really surprising myself. Maybe it was just my time to quit. Once I made past that first twenty-four hours I wasn’t bothered at all.  
I had a VERY stressful evening…found out my unemployment was cut off and I wrote a bad check without realizing it about two weeks ago and I have no way to pay the return fee. This after the check from week before last was lost in the mail and it will be “up to six weeks” to replace it.

Still no ache for a smoke. Just a heap of frustration and fear.  
Being proud of this accomplishment is the only thing I have to cling to.

In about four hours it will be seven days.

Wheeeeee!  
Eight days, 19 hours, 50 minutes!

No more cravings, not more munchies! I spent another day with a smoker, and I didn’t even flinch.

now all I need is a car and a job, and life will be complete! 🙂
