It's fairly obvious how this is going to end

I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but I think I just quit smoking. Not just just, but like 2 hours and 20 minutes ago just. I've hit the point where it's all I can think about. So far, I have eaten:
- Several handfuls of animal crackers
- 3 big ol' chucks of sharp cheddar
- 5 pinches of hot chocolate powder
- 2 fingerfuls peanut butter
For some reason, I really want a huge cheeseburger, but I want a bag of carrots just as badly. I think we're hitting Dairy Queen tonight.

Stay strong.
Ha... who am I kidding? Quitting is the HARDEST thing to do. It took me years.
Have another handful of crackers - and .... um..... stay strong?
bleah. me too. Although I successfully kicked that habit but can't quit biting my nails. Sigh.
it's a hard one to do, drink lots of water, you'll feel full and avoid all the munchies, or chew gum. I quit 3 years ago and used the commit thingys...they worked really well for both my husband and I.
I am drinking a TON of water. I have to flush all this crap out, I guess. Wow, that sounds terrible!
Hey... thanks for the comment.
Yes, I have a weak tolerance. My husband loves his cheap date!
And no, letting people know about my blog - it is not working out for me. I haven't been invited to many playdates this month.
I am hoping people are busy during the holidays. Yes?
You are my hero. I will be calling you ad nauseum when I quit. Like, on the hour, every hour.
Oh my. What made you decide to quit today?
I used to smoke, a long time ago. I found it hardest to not have a cigarette while I was driving. It was like an integral part of my driving experience. I still sometimes crave a smoke when I'm out in my car.
The first few weeks are tough, but if you can push through those you'll make it. Best of luck!
I have never smoked, so I can't offer any advice. I did however let my Mum cry on the phone to me 3 or 4 times a day when she was quitting.
It's hard. Good luck.
I think my husband and I stopped having sex for months after I quit. This was in part because I was a bitch on wheels and also because I always lit up after the big O. A cliche, I know. I had to stop doing things that triggered my desire to smoke. These included sex, drinking, eating, ect. (Wait, now I realize why I am such a boring loser these days. Damn, I never should have quite smoking. Quitting ruined my life.)Honestly though, I basically had to sit in a room and scratched my ass for a few weeks so as not to be reminded of the desire. Psychological triggers were hard. I found that the first week I had physical withdrawl and after that it was all mental. I then took up running and do that competitively. This stopped all my cravings entirely. Good Luck!
How about lollipops? Would those help with the oral fixation? My husband would tell me there's something else for that. I can hear him, clear as day, right now. :P
Honestly, I drank more when I quit. Can you say "TRANSFER ADDICT" any louder?? But it helped.
