WooHoo for you, 3 days off the patch.

I love to golf. I just wish I had started sooner. I hack up the course pretty bad. I haven't golfed in almost a month. I play on a ladies league every Monday. My next outing will be on June 20.....I have never golfed without smoking between tees...

I hope you enjoy golf. To me it is a nice relaxing, albeit at times cause of much angst, great time. The plus is that I was only one of 3 smokers in the league, so I will request a non smoking group for this Monday. After that, I am sure I will be fine

I personally beleive your going to be fine anyway.... i believe you have a different mindset this time and that is why it is going to work for you...

PS you do not have to change groups or the people you hang out with you have to change you one day at a time...one step at a time...the only person you can change is you...if you enjoy the group your with i say stick with them...

I really am not changing anything. We are a group of 24 and groups are different every week so everyone gets to be with everyone at some point during the season. I know me and I have a very addictive and routine driven personality....It isn't the nicotine that drives my cravings to smoke. I am very visual. I see it, especially when doing something that I always do...Retraining me isn't the easiest thing for me to accomplish.... Very "who moved my cheese?!" thing

Probably why I am single

"I moved your darn cheese" lol runs n hides quickly.

nah I'm kidding and I hope you laughed at that because person to person I might said an alternate word to darn.

I get being routine oriented as most onus are...here's the trick include "not smoking " into your routines.

I too am visual with the whole smoking thing I might follow a smoker with my eyes however I've noticed the last several weeks I don't do that anymore.

I might and have been known to ask for one however love it when my friends say oh hell no you don't.

you will be ok.
