Hypnotism didn't help me either, not at all.

There is no nicotine craving with Chantix, that's the beauty of it. It chemically binds to the nicotine receptors in your brain, and blocks them. It's physically impossible to have a physical craving while using it. Of course, the psychological portion of the addiction remains, the habit. But that's a lot easier to ignore, if you aren't feeling sick and murderous.

Good job Twisterdog, I am really rooting for you. My 50 year neighbor has been hospitalized and in an induced coma for 10 days due to complications from smoking.

I understand this completely. I am a terrible emotional eater. Bored? Try ice cream! Stressed? Have some chips! Unhappy? Eat half the contents of the pantry! One could look back at photographs of me throughout my life and tell exactly how happy I was at any given stage, simply by how much I weighed.

So far so good. Jasper got a long walk today.

As far as cooking one or more nutritious meals per week....tomato-ginger chicken is simmering on the stove right now.

As far as my spending...I haven't bought anything frivolous yet, though I did get an $80 blood test done on Jasper today that probably wasn't really necessary.
