"God I feel so good".  He said "because you have quit smoking.  (truth)  Day 142 and I am feeling wonderful.  Not too much thought about smoking.  Haven't had any urges or cravings that aren't a "flick of the bic or flip the switch". Things have been going well. I do not want to forget from where I came and become complacent in my quit. . That terrible drag, pull of withdrawal.  I do not want to experience that ever again.  It is not always easy but as the Elders say "doable".

Quick thoughts: I have noticed that when someone relapse it "appears" they may not have stayed connected to the Exteam for support. I have been reading a lot of the blogs but don't have a lot of time to comment.  I wish all of the newbies well.  Congratualtions to all on their milestones. Again thank the Elders for being here.  Carry on.  Best wishes to all who are dealing with serious health issues and other life crisis.  Not one puff ever will take you through.  Smoking can not fix it. .

I do have concerns of working with a new business partner that smokes.  Whoa!   We will have to be in her vehicle to begin with this evening because she knows the route. . Don't know how it is going to work out but hopefully I won't have to terminate the business venture. We will be working very close.  I will see. How do you ask someone not to smoke in their own car? Gheez!  NOPE No Matter What I am not going to Smoke.

P>S> Is it over the hump day? Oh, I'm retired.
