Keeping the violence under control - that's a positive first step, Sara!  And even nicer to get a new Sara fic.  LabRat  (not that I'm hinting or anything...)

Yay, non-violence! Keep that up... Hang in there, Sara, I know you can do it. Y'know, in my experience, nothing will distract you better than a good flame war... want to argue politics with anyone?  Whatever your views are, I guarantee you can find someone to disagree with them Just, um, do it in e-mail, k? Otherwise the other admins will kill me  PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Yay, Sara! As Labby and Pam said, non-violence is good. <g> Hang in there, you're doing well!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Sara}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Julie

*waves pom poms* Go Sara! Go Sara! Go Sara! 
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

I think we need to do a count for you, Sara. So, assuming you still haven't had a cigarette, this is Day Three, right? Congratulations on making it this far!  And hang on in there - let us know when you need a little extra encouragement, all right? Any other smokers out there ready to stop along with Sara? Mutual encouragement and all that... Wendy

My first reaction when I saw this thread's title was, "Good for you, Sara!!" I can't be around so often anymore, but my thoughts are with you. And, yay, you're making it happen!! Let's celebrate!! See ya, AnnaBtG.
What we've got here is failure to communicate...

Mountain Standard Time... which makes it... SIX days as of right now. I'll be honset... I did have one or two. So I cheated. But I'm really encouraged by the fact that I didn't enjoy the experience, which is good. And, I'm telling myself that it's far better than having smoked two or three packs. I'm hanging in there. Finding it difficult at times to function without my stress reliever, but I'm dealing. Thanks again, everyone, for your support. I really wouldn't have made it even a day without your support! Sara

Six days is almost a week, yes? Awesome. And yeah, I'd definitely agree that one or two is far better than one or two packs.

I recommend checking your savings (pun not intended). You might want to consider doing a cash jar for your designated cig money. Watch how fast it grows! Like a Chia Pet with dollar bills. Keep going!!!  TEEEEEEEJ

I think most people fail at giving up an addiction, Sara, because they pay too much attention to the little steps backwards that are inevitable and let them overcome them. So, much waving of pompoms and hearty ra ras all round for your positive and sensible approach to those. They will happen - but turning them into positives and letting them help you move forward as you are doing is a huge help towards your goal! Well done, you!  Keep it up! LabRat

Absolutely! Keep it up, Sara! How many days now? And TJ's right: start putting your saved money in a jar somewhere and whenever you're tempted to buy a packet count how much you've saved so far. Hang in there!! We're rooting for you. Wendy

Almost 10 whole days. And... if I didn't need the money for other things, I'd be saving it.  )
