^ That's *GREAT*!
Congratulations! You are finally seeing a "payoff" to quitting, ha ha!

Still doing fine.....no smoking.
Really want a cigarette tonight. I don't have any, and not going to have one. But I want one.
$256 saved so far, not counting the additional $3 per pack I usually paid for sodas. By my calculation, that's around $328 saved since the 1st.
Oh, I have gained a little weight. I decided not to quit the beer and cigarettes simultaneously. And I'm a good cook. My winter food goes best with beer, and I usually have seconds, so I look like I'm about 6 months pregnant.
Other than that, I want a cigarette tonight, but I don't have any, and I'm not going out to get any. Already treated myself to a Mega Der Red Max and some motors. Probably replace my lost Chute Release with my next paycheck, and still be ahead.

Last night I dreamt of smoking a pipe or cigar or something. It was really nice.
Today, I'd really love a cigarette. Actually, I'd love to roll one of my own with the high quality Amsterdam Shag tobacco I started with.
But I keep telling myself "If I have one, I'll have a thousand," because that's how it works. My rational mind is fighting with my lizard brain which "just wants one."
I'm sure I can hold out till this craving passes, but it kind of sucks wanting something and also wanting to not want that thing.
Oh, my app says I've unlocked the 30 days of no smoking achievement, and tomorrow I'll have added a Jolly Logic Chute Release to my earned items. $291.58 saved and 550 cigarettes not smoked so far.
You guy's are all doing fantastic...
Good,, no ,, great for you..
Do not give..
You are all non smokers now,,
the only thing that'll change that is your own conscious choice..
Keep in mind,,
this is one of the top most important things you'll ever do for your self in your entire life..
You will remember this for the rest of your life..
This is it,, you've done it,, each and every day,, the worst is behind you..
Each and every day gets a tiny bit easier...
Don't ever give..

Well said.

Thank you Steve,,
I forgot one thing,,
Please don't ever forget this,,
it's the single most important thing..
Don't ever let your guard down...
As time goes by you'll become more and more confident that you've successfully quit..
You must stay vigilant at keeping your guard up..
It's when you're totally confident that it's over is when the thought
of just that no big deal one will start to sneak into your head....
It could be months from now,, it could be a year or two or more..
If your not aware that this will happen you'll be far more likely to let this thought get a foothold in your mind...
Don't ever,, forever let your guard down....

And that just smoke one will be a pack before the days over! Remember always you are an addict and to never light that just one. Gave them up over 20yrs. ago after several attempts and just ones.
My dad quit smoking right after I was born, so I don't remember him smoking at all.
One day in my teens, he came home from work and said "I've had the strongest urge for a cigarette today." It turns out, during a meeting, a couple of people were smoking and all of a sudden out of nowhere, BAM, an urge came back. He didn't act on it, and I don't remember him ever saying anything again like that, so it shows that given the right environmental cues or whatever, you can be triggered.
So, just always be aware, and have a plan for something to do to take your mind off of cigarettes, esp. now that you are only a month out. The urges should decrease over time, both in number and intensity, but may never go away.
Woo! Woohoo!
Anybody rediscover a favorite food yet? Some of my local exmok friends tell me they get strong memories coming back from presmok days.
Man, its really great to read through your updates.
Der Red Max, a new Chute release,,.. the bonuses you're getting your hands on in addition to the health benefits are terrific.
Has there been any improvement of the fogginess, or lethargy?
Also just watched the slow-mo launch compilation. That music and the slow takeoffs were really peaceful to watch. Just kind of sat there enjoying it.
