I'm gonna hang my hat on the "no longer a smoker" peg...just give me more
amunition to keep being an ex smoker!

One of the bullets they gave us at the last stop-smoking clinic I attended
(that's the one that worked, by the way) was this. Collect a bunch of buts
from an ashtray. Get a Mason jar about half full. Then fill it halfway
with water, so they're all good & soggy and put the lid on. Anytime you
want a cig, open the lid and take a whif.

I have left myself one not so subtle reminder and that is an ashtray out in
the garage (I've never smoked inside our current house ... it was always
outside) that is so covered in ash and tar that it will never come clean.

I just tell myself that THAT isn't going in my body any more!
