A New Measuring Stick?

I think, inadvertently, Green thumb may have given us a new measuring stick for frustration/anger/crankiness during the early days of a quit:

"Well, I wasn't "'taking hostages' cranky - but I was close!!!!  Or, "was 'close to taking hostages,' but I did some jumping jacks and felt better!"

Thanks for the smile, thumb!!!!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
