Still waiting. Didn't cave. Walked the dog the big loop, just ate some lucky charms (a daily fav for both me and the dog) lol.  Going to get a hot dog across the RR tracks at the livestock market before too long. Trying to avoid the car til I'm over this.

Head to Relapse Prevention   And start reading through the blogs there.  Read one, then pause and really think about what's been said.  The blog itself AND the comments.  See if and how it relates to you and your situation.

​You have one day in so far, yes?  If you got through yesterday, you can get through today.  The day is more than half over, right.  Stay the course look at your avatar name.  Meanwhile repeat after me...

​I may want one
​I don't have one
​I don't need one
​I won't get one

You can do this. You can get through this. Your fear and anxiety over not having nicotine will not last forever. The only way out is through. And getting through these moments will help you realize that the dependency is not worth what it has done to you. Yes you can--one minute at a time.
