Yeah I'm not really sure because it isn't like cravings for me it is just that I enjoy smoking lol But I do want to quit just simply cuz I am 43 so that is 25 years of a pack a day and I kind of want to make it to say 73 ish.... but I enjoy them o_O I'll need to find a substitute of sorts to satisfy w/e the pleasure is I am getting.
Oh, I enjoy them, too! And I only smoked about 4-5 sticks a day at my highest honestly (working full time in an office and not smoking inside the house or around my kid makes it nearly impossible to smoke a ton a day!) So my "craving" for them completely was gone meaning not just nicotine, but the mental craving. I didn't need to enjoy them any longer (if that makes any sense?). I also found substitutes, which totally help when I really want one. Also, realizing that if I just go about my business the craving will eventually pass was huge.

I got some PF Changs Kung Pao sauce yesterday at the store for 99 cents and I tried it last night.... it was awesome with thin steak sliced up. I think I'm going to go back today and get a couple dozen bottles for the pantry and start Kung Paoing everything

Very confused, got an email from survey comet about the $16 survey and followed the link to get it, but it said I wasn't qualified, Did a search for the $16 survey and there is a different one I qualify for. Silly people.

I'll try to remember to research those things you mentioned and see if any of it would be covered by Medi-Cal..... yeah I'm stuck with the lovely insurance of California :\ Can't bitch much though cuz they paid to save my life in 2014..... I was really shocked cuz I had no insurance at all and medi-Cal picked up the entire tab

It was May 1st. I decided I was getting older so I quit smoking a few weeks ago too. I know off topic, but I'm pretty proud and love to brag about it lol. My lungs thank me after 12 years of 1-2 packs a day.

I quit on January 1st! First New Year's resolution that worked! Hang in there!

Good morning everyone!
