The craving comes and goes in waves.  I love it when I realize that I haven't been thinking about them, which turns into thinking about how much I loved them, then the huge craving comes upon me.  I think about why I decided that I hate them more that I love them, and eventually I forget about them again.  My "self" tells me that quitting will be worth the struggle.
Always move forward. Never look back.

It was 3 weeks yesterday.  The only times is's hard is in the morning when I'm having coffee and after work when I'm chilling.

That's really good, Liz.

I'm supposed to quit coffee and chocolates....so far, I'm still doing one cup in the morning, sometimes decaf, but caffed helps me more...and then I binge once in a while on the Hershey Kisses still in the pantry! :-[ :-[ :-[...like right now...I want a cup and 4 kisses in the left cheek to sip the coffee across... :( :( :(
Happy Aquariuming,

What I did was cut down until I ran out.  Once I was out I refused to buy more.

Well there's always gonna be coffee here...Lucy drinks one cup every morning too...but I guess I'll just stretch out the kisses until they're gone then find some Werther's butterscotch hard candies... |eat| |eat| |eat|

The key is, you have to want to quit.  If you don't, you're just wasting your time even talking about it.

Yep! And guess what I don't want to do....

4 tobacco free four weeks today.  All it took was deciding that I hated the darling Honduran cigars more than I loved them.  I'm not even on the patch any more and I'm not suffering.  Sometimes I can think of nothing better than a nice cigar.  It's a shame that I got addicted and can no longer indulge.
