Bubble gum. Lots and lots of bubble gum. I used to like super bubble, but it sticks in my teeth too much. I am now preferential to hubba bubba in the strawberry, blueberry, watermelon, and my most favorite, tropical fruit. There are many days I spend more on bubble gum than I did on cigarettes.

One day at a time. Tomorrow you get to add another day to the count. Just remember, if you give in, you have to start counting all over.

Thanks Travis and Wayne, All good advise and words of encouragement. And the router is available at Home Depot for $279.00. Is it a good price, I think so, but probably not the best price that could be found.

Second step: I just threw the lighter away. Why did I keep it? Who knows, but now it is gone also, Hope my shop heater igniter doesn't go on the blink. If it does I will just start lots of equipment up to warm up the shop before I buy another lighter at least until these awful cravings subside!

UPDATE

Wife ordered Chantix for me today, it is real important that I don't fail in my attempts to kick 34 years of habit. Do I need it? Probably so and it is not covered by insurance, although a small price to pay for health. Will be picking it up tomorrow. They say it causes weird dreams, maybe I will dream about new tools. And maybe I will dream about money to buy new tools.

Day three was a success although a struggle at times. "Work Related of course"

Thanks for caring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: widea:

Tracy

Tracy anything that will help you get through this without becoming an additciton itself is a good thing.
As far as the weird dreams, as long as Bas isn't in them your probably OK

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Oh- and about Chantix not being covered by insurance, just think of it as cigarette money re-routed (yes, pun intended).

Day four, I will consider it a success. Getting painfully close to the D Day. Surgery that is, LOML is on the way home with the Chantix. I am gonna need it, mowed the yard today and wanted a cigar really bad. It is amazing what a little tobacco can do to you.
