Tomorrow's my day, folks

It has to be. Four to five dollars a pack is killing me. So many times before I've tried, and so many times I've failed, but sooner or later it comes down to raw survival.

1. Will be watching out for you here, Enraged_Ape - whether it's rants or ...

updates! Thanks for asking admin @ starting this group, I saw your post & came looking straightaway. Details for the laggers (like me) - how are you going about quitting? Pure will, patches, gum? I want to do this, but I'm big on planning ahead. Or should I quit planning (procrastinating?) & just do it? I have tried will power before, apparently I'm lacking in that department or I wouldn't be here bugging - but I'll try just about anything at this point.

Congrats, & keep updating - ok?

2. It's a big chunk o' change all right

But it's more about the health benefits, right?

Good work.

Here's a site with resources, probably funded by the industry:
http://www.quitnet.com/

They have many forums, including one for Democrats. I can't afford to join any more forums, just thought it was interesting the way we build our communities.:)

3. How's it going 'Ape?

Today was supposed to be your day, and this is supposed to be a support forum, so I thought I'd check in on you...

:thumbsup: ? :thumbsdown: ?

4. So far, so good. Thanks, lukasahero

We have family in who don't smoke. In the process of entertaining them, I was able to somehow distract myself from a possible backslide.

The hard part will be returning to my humdrum, bleak existence and boring shit job on Monday. It's on the way to that place that I absolutely MUST have a cigarette...or two. That's going to be rough.

7. Distraction is a great thing sometimes!

I have been extremely productive without the smokes. The drive in to work has been the only place I can't get rid of them yet - so at least I'm down to 1 / day.

Not to sound like a "counselor" or anything since I'm hardly any good at this myself but try saying "I absolutely WANT... a cigarette" rather than "must have". "Must" is a motivation killer. :-)

Hang in - you can do this!
