Yes Scott, I'm rather surpised myself to be honest. Today makes 42 days. Not out of the woods, but after so many years, I would have never thought I had the mental capability to go 42 days. I have accepted the "one day at a time" philosophy now, so tomorrow is another day and I am not looking at the day after that (it only makes me nervous).
Stdreb...Easier? I don't know man. I can say that I do not have any "shakes" or physical problems. This past weekend was a true test....Camping, campfires, outdoor cooking, everything else that goes along with that setting......And my best friend was nowhere to be found. Yes, I thought of him often. But slowly starting to bury the hatchet.
All, thanks for the input on the smiley question. I may appear to be on here less (actually I'm around), but I just can't absorb all of these site changes just yet. I feel good after reading a few threads that I'm not the only one, so I hope some changes/modifications are coming. Until then, I'm not avoiding anyone, just enjoying my nicotine withdrawals while waiting on my favorite site to become a little more user friendly.

It can't be your best friend anymore.

Well, off topic.........The new site setup seems to be keeping me from finding older threads I started, as well as the fact that I can't figure out how to start a new topic thread. So, my cat question goes here.....Is it normal for mom/son to be doing it? This is really gross, and very difficult to explain to the kiddos. Son has grown to twice the size of mom, and he is having his way. Is this normal, or just a wacked out cat....? Mom is fixed btw, as many of you know from my "visit to the vet" thread, but jr is not.

Congrats on the one day at a time approach. That is exactly what you need to do. Sounds like you are well on you way down the path. There will still be forks in the road for you, but they will get smaller and farther apart.
I started a new thread for you because I thought the only people that might be checking on this thread now are us quitters.
And it will be so amusing to read what people write about your dilemma.

Scott...thanks, I'm headed over to that thread now. Not sure how you did it. I can't seem to start a thread, but glad you did. It should be interesting.
Meow....yes, IE.....but I don't see any "torn paper looking thing". I have looked everywhere.
