Brenda, you just had to mention USC!

It is harder getting over that Rose Bowl loss than quiting smoking.

Hey Mike!!!

I know EXACTLY what you were scared of last football season!

Luckily, your fright went away with a good win from your 'Horns! This year though, you better get a little scared again! I'm thinking Sooners win big this year!!! Soooo, keep your coping skills honed, buddy!!!

BOOMER SOONER!!!

Great observation, Mike. I am put at ease when remembering that we will face 70,000 triggers in our first year of quit.....In other words, be ready for anything :(

I have another new trigger to work through this week with my first plane trip as a non-smoker. I am prepared for the long, dull day with plenty of reading and chewables.

Keep the quit, ya'll!

Mike, thanks for sharing your strategies on fighting off triggers! We all have something different that can make us want to smoke, but by following your advice we'll have a plan in place to fight off the nicodemon! N.O.P.E. is the way to go!

Thank you Astrofan. I'm finding that it does help to rehearse various behaviors and strategies when I know I will be tested.
