Hey! What's for breakfast?

Not a cigarette with coffee!    NOT NEEDED

It was 95 yesterday with a desert wind that felt like a blast furnace.

I could have cooked eggs on the driveway or the hood of my truck.

As the seasons change, memories kick in and the habits of the same season of the year before tend to kick in.

We buy the same ingredients for meals and we make the same dishes.Much of it was originally based on what is available in the market.

Breakfast was a memory from the season before.

Our lives go in cycles built on memories until we break out and make a new cycle.

Cigarettes trigger those old memories but for only so long. Have hope!

Smoking won't mean something forever if you just let it go.

Keep stacking those rocks!  Days!

I like to put 3 eggs stirred well with about 8 of those lil sausages and nuke them for 90 seconds and then throw a couple corn tortillas on top to warm.

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.
