She called this morning while my hand was on the broccoli crowns. (I don't think it means anything)

I didn't tell her I was shopping until I was checking out and it was my turn.

She just called again.

I asked her the crucial question "how are you getting your chocolate?"

She said her daughter had brought some salted caramel chocolates.

So does that mean all is well?

If she gets out this next Friday and not the following Monday it will fit with her plans. LOL

We'll see!

We got to laugh and that's what we do best.

...........more when I know more

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
