I haven't smoked cigarettes in 30 days. Its tough.
Yes hang in there, it will get easier as time goes on. You've made it to 30 days though so kudos to that. I quit cold turkey 18 months ago after smoking for 12 years, haven't even touched one in that time. The hardest parts for me were my morning coffee, driving, and drinking. Those were the three things that I absolutely loved to smoke cigarettes while doing. I didn't go out for drinks for quite some time because I knew once I had a few beers I would get the overpowering urge to smoke. Now I can go to bars and not even think about having a cigarette. Now I can't even picture myself ever smoking.
trust me, you will get to that point one day. I know it doesn't seem like it now but you will. every day that goes by without a cigarette gets you closer to that day.

Thanks Seul and Manufc10. It should, will get better, not smoking. I'm hanging in there. To me the 4 worst times missing it are with coffee, a drink or 2, driving, and then getting off of a plane, and racing for the door. Unfortunately a bad habit I've had for a long time. Another worst part is I just bought the silver BIC lighter cover.

You need a pair of shorts? Then why not do the trifecta like one of our favourite customers…....?
I won't mention names, but I think I know who that was.

Eric Clapton?

I just bought 11 miles of thread.

Actually, I miscounted- I bought 21,250 yds, so 12.07 miles. That was only seven colors, so I probably need a couple more orders of the same size…

Just under 4 years ago my wife and I agreed a plan with our financial advisor to pay off a significant chunk of our mortgage, in order to make later life easier and early retirement more of a possibility for us. The plan involved significantly upping our monthly payments to reduce the overall amount in the longer term.
About a month after we agreed the plan the arse dropped out of the defence contracts industry, which caused my hours to be dramatically reduced at work and my earnings take a serious nose dive. Earlier this year Pam lost her job, which was a blessing as her job made her thoroughly miserable, and it took her 4 months to find another one, and even then on significantly less money.
Through all this, we cut back on what we spent, sold what we did not use, gave up on big family holidays and did lot once let those payments drop. The point of this being that our last payment is due in October, the arse is back in the defence industry, my earnings are returning to pre drop levels as of October and we will be one huge monthly payment a month better off.
After almost 4 years of struggle we are about 10 weeks away from being in a MUCH better financial position, so to celebrate we're taking Tommy to LA next year and Giles is going to be able to reinstate a direct debit from my account to his
