Yay it's Mex! 
I'm totally out of the loop on the Pokemon thing! Glad we have some trendy people here to keep people like me up to date!
I started googling that car, Sao and omg! I now understand why you'd need to win the lottery to buy one!

Cigarette cravings are completely different than alcohol. The chemical dependence on nicotine is just relentless, and the cravings just don't stop for days. Quitting alcohol has been the biggest challenge of my life, but quitting smoking was the most intensely uncomfortable experience. Lots of water, gum snacks and constant reminders of WHY I was quitting were what saw me through.

Hey friends. Well I'm alive but I had a slip last night.... my phone fell out of my jacket while I was riding so I don't have that anymore. I pretty much used that as an excuse to say **** it and "have a few drinks" at this party I was going to where I didn't know a single person and everyone was drinking. (Hindsight - this was all a bad idea from the getgo...)
To say I am mad at myself... furious even... is an understatement.
I thought about grabbing a bottle this morning just to forget about it all but decided not to. So I'm laying in bed feeling god awful and resting.
Grrrr.

If I can't stop before my backpacking trip, I'll go into the woods with no cigs and battle it out there for a few days.
I'll have no way to get any smokes

MNL, I'm glad your motorcycle didn't kill you.
The bottle may, though.
Please don't go buy any today.
I had to have strategies for things like parties and accidents and feeling good and celebration and money hits and everything.
My strategy was, "I will not pick up a drink, no matter what."
So far that is my best self-talk.

It's just like recovery-BF. If you had let him, he'd still be tryin' to build a relationship with you.
No contact. It's the only way.

jsbodhi - I browsed in the used section of the bookstore and acquired Codependent No More, The Gifts of Sobriety, Undrunk: A skeptics guide to AA, Healing the Shame that Binds You, Don't Take Personally: Transform Rejection i to Self-Acceptance, and Beating the Blues: New approaches to Overcoming Dysthymia and Chronic Mild Depression. I'm reading the first two mentioned and really am liking The Gifts of Sobriety.
Thanks Ruby; feeling more on today. I think I"m missing my grandchildren and my kids.

Rather uncanny, timing-wise.
Ken, do you like watching the Great British Bake-off? I think you might just love it.
