Re: HOF - Lurking 007 has an important announcement - HOF

Thanks Mike and Tihomir and Sue and Lynn! And to others that have posted...
something weird is going on with my newsreader so it shows me that Summer,
and Robin and THIStime have posted, but it says that the messages are no
longer available? Is this a problem other people are having, or is it just
me? I can't seem to google them either.

Anyway, thanks for your kind thoughts. I assume the ones I can't read are
kind - though who knows? Someone may be on a tear today.

I realize that I didn't say anything about how the quit was going, I just
bitched about the periodic crave and such. in order to make the point that
y'all are so freaking helpful that it's outrageous.

I should have added that I feel super great and proud, and there is not a
day that goes by that I don't think of something that I can do now that I
didn't used to be able to do without a cigarette and I think to myself:
"Hey, that's cool!" Today, I installed new wiring and lighting fixtures in
the kitchen. And no matter how frustrated I got at the fucking
made-in-China-lack-of-quality-control that caused the project to have
numerous fits and starts and things I needed to jerry rig, I actually did
not even think about smoking at all. If it were 6 months ago, I would have
probably had about a pack just as I took breaks to think through a bunch of
very frustrating little problems. So, that's cool. And my lighting
fixtures look cool too.

In addition, a couple days ago was the first time I saw someone chucking a
*** out their car window and I thought "that's so gross, what a littering
***!" Then I sort of cut the guy a break because I did it for umpity
ump years without thinking about it. But I think I'm making that
psychological transition from "trying to quit" to "non/ex smoker," so that
was the first time I felt sort of "better" than a smoker that I saw. Do you
know what I mean?

Anyway, now that I'm in from the cold, I think you may be stuck with me and
my rambles.

Cheers!

Jaime

I have achieved six months, one day, 23 hours, 1 minute and 3 seconds, of
smoke-free living (and, with it, rather aggressive driving). This amounts to
5488 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,303.29, and adding 2 weeks, 5 days, 1
hour, 20 minutes to my fabulous life.
