Keep on keeping on Kid. Even if you give in, that's okay, just try again. Try nibbling on sunflower seeds, in the shell. Keeps your hands and mouth busy.
Stay strong bro. When you awake tomorrow, remember all the reasons why you are doing what you are doing. Signing off now. I know it is that time when I start to receive flowers (all of 2 - who am I kidding ) from people in totally incompatible time zones. G'night all.
Phoenix, You might just wanna call it a night and go to sleep and let the detox work it's magic while you are sleeping. May be too much focus and attention on it right now. I don't know.
Just by the way: Ever wonder what happens to your body the moment you stop smoking?
20 MINUTES Blood pressure drops to normal. Pulse rate drops to normal. Body temperature of hands and feet increases to normal.
8 HOURS Carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal. Oxygen level in blood increases to normal.
24 HOURS Chance of heart attack decreases.
48 HOURS Nerve endings start regrowing. Ability to smell and taste is enhanced.
2 WEEKS TO 3 MONTHS Circulation improves. Walking becomes easier. Lung function increases up to 30%.
Cool. I have a report to write for a meeting tomorrow. I have a bottle of red and some good tunes going (the only way I am able to produce a report - a throw back to my university days)So...here for the next 4 hours if you wanna share your perceptions along the way.
Lago, I forgot to tell you. We are all gonna save up all the money we save from not buying ciggies and use it to buy travel tickets and crash your pad on August 17th (approximately 7 p.m.) for a few days.
I feel like I have graduated. I have gone from saying 'I quit smoking ____ days ago' to 'I quit smoking earlier this year'. (Partly out of stupidity as I can no longer count out how many days it is since I last had a smoke).
Hey Phoenix. The next few hours may not be pleasant. Feel free to vent to us. Get it out that way. We will try not to remind you at a later date if you say things you ought not to have said.

I'm a city girl from the bustling metropolis of Toronto. I was trying so hard to be 'tres European', with your fresh flowers, house plants and picking up freshly baked bread sticks in a short paper wrappers on the way home from work. I did NOT sign up for infestations!
(Delicately removing plant from garbage as I look over my shoulder for the dreaded SPCP)
